SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
May Maria Disappearing Acts for me was the best movie i have ever seen and trust me it is. My problem with love movies most of the time is the fact that they are often and most times too fictional, but Disappearing Acts was far from that.This movie delivers in all aspect of the word. Its about a young women Zora who movies into an apartment where she meets Franklin a man who was working on her floor lol. At first i thought that these two as a couple would not work out but as the movie progress you get that sense of connection between them remember opposites do attract, and its this difference between them that makes them coming together more special and romantic. I don't want to give too much away but let me say this! i truly love it when a movie provides wonderful sex scenes and trust me Disappearing Acts gives you just that.The love scene especially the last on was amazing i could not stop my body from trembling it was that good and so real. I've got to give props to Sanaa and Wesley for their wonderful performance and for being so real, they made these scene so real and i loved that. all in all this movie comes together perfectly, expect a few laughter, tears and a lot of love a movie worth seeing.
ROCKAFELLA71 A person commented that Wesley was no Franklin as compared to the book. But you have to ask the question, how many movies were made from books where you pictured the character from a book the same way he is portrayed in the book? That is why I see the movie first and than read the book. The other way around and I know I will not enjoy the movie. I loved this movie not just because I'm secretly in love with Sanaa but mainly because of the use of music to the scenes. I thought Wesley did a great job for the character he played but I do agree that the scenes went to fast. There should have been a little more build up to the first intimate scene. I wish I could meet a lady and turn her on like that lol. But seriously I loved this story which shows love isn't always smooth. But she should have been more upset at him for trashing her place.
knitpicker2k I found this movie while surfing the channels and was hooked from the start. I don't know any of the actors and have never read the book. I thought the couple had tremendous chemistry and acted their parts perfectly. The families of Zora and Franklin were well-cast and believable. The only criticism I have is regarding Zora's 2 girlfriends;I felt their portrayals lacked subtlety. Elements of the story were very familiar to me and heartbreakingly true to life. I will certainly read the book now, and this is one movie I will watch again and recommend to friends. (I hope this is not a spoiler): Perfect baby casting too.
camraman It's not often you can sit and watch a movie that deals with real life situations and the writer and director present the script to the viewer in a believable fashion. But this movie was well done and a well thought out script. Wesley and Sanaa played off each other's character well. The background songs for various scenes were "on the money." I even found myself shouting, "Don't do it!" to Frankie (Wesley) in the most critical moment during the hammer smashing scene. I know, it's just a movie. But I love it when the creators of a movie can get me and my emotions involved. It's then when I feel they've created an excellent movie.I'm glad that the characters, Franklin and Zora (Sanaa) were allowed to be real. Both had dreams and desires. Both had obstacles to overcome. Trying to obtain those goals while maintaining a new relationship, we found, can be difficult.It received a resounding 10 from me. I definitely recommend this movie.
