Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
sophieo2001 Ah people, stop giving bad scores for films that just show how much you DON'T know. This is an excellent film. Full of archetypal journeys and psychological depth. I love it! The acting is superb. Not one miscast actor or actress. The story never gets boring. Tight script. It's funny and heartwarming. The story is transformational. Watch it if you know a smart person who has done dumb things. Watch it if you are stuck because you are too proud to make a fool of yourself. 10 out of 10 film. Thank you for making it!!
Davis P A lot of people hated on this movie, and i can understand why, it's by no means fantastic or award winning, but it can be pretty funny and entertaining, or at least I thought it was. Sandra Bullock pulls off a good performance, despite her winning the Razzie for worst actress of the year. I actually thought that Bradley Cooper was annoying in this movie, i thought he acted like a jerk the entire time! This movie is not that great, but if your just looking for some pure innocent fun, and not a deep heavy Oscar winning movie, then it might be worth looking into. The dialouge is not the best, but mildly amusing at the same time. And I really loved all of the characters except for Bradley Cooper, hated his character!
richieandsam ALL ABOUT STEVEThis movie must have slipped by very quietly. I had never even heard of this until I saw it advertised on TV. I can see why… it was not good.The movie is about a woman whose job is to create crossword puzzles. She is a single, smart, talkative, know all who still lives with her parents. When her parents set her up on a blind date with a guy named Steve, she becomes very obsessed with him. She starts to stalk him and follow him around America so she can be with him… the problem is, he doesn't want to know and he starts to run and hide from her.The movie stars Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper. Sandra was very annoying in this. I am a Sandra Bullock fan, but she even irritated me in this. Bradley was really good though. Thomas Haden Church and Ken Jeong also star in this and they were both probably the funniest characters in the film.The comedy was not great… there were not many laugh out loud moments. I did laugh at a few bits, but generally it was very poor. I think Sandra's character really ruined this film. I think it was just the wrong casting. I always thought Sandra was better in serious roles. She won the razzie for Worst Actress for this movie… but then went on to win an Oscar for The Blind Side which she made after this. It proves she is a great actress… but she needs to choose her roles better. I am sure she will be better in Gravity.The story was very basic. There was not a lot to think about. It was straight forward stalker story. There were a few moments in the film that just didn't make sense… I mean, how do you just forget about a child that fell into a well? (If you have seen the film, you will know what I mean.) Also, the film makes it look like most people do crosswords. There is no way that crosswords are as popular still as this film makes out. Sure, I know some people still do them, but I don't think there will be a huge uproar if there is one that is just too hard like in this movie.The movie is not on for very long which is a good thing. It was not the worst comedy you could sit through, there are a lot worst (Legally Blonde being one of them) but considering the cast and the idea, this should have been a lot better than it was. The ending was also very disappointing… the way she was at the end of the movie just didn't make sense to me. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but the way her character acted at the end of the movie was just really out of place. It should have been written better. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.I will give this film 5 out of 10."Hartman, for the love of God, stop tanning! You look like a Cheese Nip! You look like an orange with lips."For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
SnoopyStyle Is she supposed to be autistic? Are we supposed to laugh at her? That's the big problem with this movie. She's unbearable, and sad. Most of it is humiliating.Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) creates crossword puzzles for the Sacramento Herald. She's an eccentric mess unable to connect with other people. She's set up with TV news cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper) by her parents. While she falls head over heels for her, he can't run away fast enough as he's call to the next news story. She chases him all across the country.The last section does have a little bit of fun. She finally does a few things right. But it's way too late to save this movie. It's really sad to see Sandra Bullock flail away for so few laughs.
