Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
bkoganbing The person everyone is hoping will Get Well Soon is TV talk show host Bobby Bishop as played by Vincent Gallo. The guy who most wants him to get well is Gallo's agent Jeffrey Tambor. His career rides on Gallo's career.But they both look like they're circling the bowl as Gallo makes some rather crude remarks to a female guest. Immediately he's checked into a mental hospital with the explanation he's suffering a nervous breakdown.Get Well Soon is a combination of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Network and a few other films thrown in for good measure. It doesn't really succeed at being a good imitation of either of those classics. It gets really dull in spots, it has no real life to it.It's just a bad imitation of some good classics.
shoushi Sorry,this is by machine translation.They are the appendix of this movie, and a contribution review, "Also in gold and an appointment, a certain men are them. which was visible to a work called the degree of the second 3 as for the love story which throws away and goes to a sweetheart's basis". (an overseas review is too) which was seeing performance "able to fit in and smile at a jar" etc. however a story, performance, etc. -- natural -- although they are considered to even [ of an interesting element / "even" ] if it is in a story or a division called performance -- others -- without limit -- " -- it -- . with the movie measure" -- I feel that I am not so common as it tidies up at a comedy or a nonsense word noisily again, either.then -- if it says where was interesting -- "how to exist" . -- then, I was interesting as a movie of what kind of "how to exist" -- I am . -- if it says simply [ of a movie ] As . whose "laughter" <=> "serious" and "insanity" <=> "senses" most point ., i.e., "serious" scenes, of "having been perverted" is "laughter" on almost all scenes, and is serious [ the scene of "laughter" / which is not attached with actualities and I do not leave / "serious" ], and a sight "senses" the characters to serve -- in fact --. whose place which should have slightly sad" disposition which was out of order, or should become serious [ that / at which I cannot laugh / "serious" ] but "was amusing" only in extremely. fine as this is drawn on the basis of a certain fixed law like expression -- I think that this law can also do how to catch the "necessity" for making it not entwined by conditions.About "necessity", the words of an audience rating so and so near the last are symbolic, "Distinction" with common TV drama (TV media) . . "a reason is intelligible" prepared or whose "a reason is not known" are not "the amusingness which a reason does not understand", either -- visible way . that a focus is in the place where the focus shifted just for a moment in fact -- the place (at the time) where "focus shifted when saying more "if", a focus is not in sight" -- on a movie [ like ], it does not have the division which laps also with my "reality" -- I am . complication of "laughter" <=> "serious" and "insanity" <=> "senses" which crazy each one of the insane asylum of people who divide and come out and are in not only the leading role's Vincent Gallo but old her surroundings, or a supporting player to say shows / . which sensed fun for >> when inverted -- this -- how [ "movie ] -- if it says without hiding although it is feel " reality ". with a certain independent nature, I will say whether having seen with a favorable eye from before seeing Vincent Gallo who has originality of enough only by a face has the "focus" at the time of offering "only one interpretation" of a movie in the place whose manufacturer of this work is the television persons concerned surely in itself -- enjoying -- a way -- the bottom.
LibertadBGreen I tried to watch this movie twice, after I borrowed it from the library, but failed to watch more than 37 minutes of it. I curtailed my first attempt because the characters were too annoying, and the plot didn't seem to be going anywhere. The second time I attempted to watch it, I simply fell asleep. After that, I decided not to torture myself with it anymore!The hook comes when the protagonist, a talk show host named Bobby, introduces a supermodel on his show. Played by Carolina Parsons, this gorgeous model sachets onto the set in a miniskirt and a suggestive halter top, and, if you're a heterosexual man like I am, the most natural thing for you to think would be how much you'd like to have sex with her.Bobby, floundering for any interest he might have in common with the model, comments that she shares his initials. She "guesses" that's true. Finally, Bobby gives up trying to sound intellectual with such a beautiful woman he can't think of anything to talk to about except the obvious (sex), and just tells her he'd like to "f***" her.She and the stage crew are startled.He follows up his crude remark with more crude remarks, about how much sex she probably has, and how tired she must be of sex.She gets up and leaves. He is forcibly removed from the set.Other than this scene, this movie seems to be a collection of home video clips of boring, pathetic people, including Lily, played by Courteney Cox, who also played Meryl on Seinfeld. This is apparently par for her course, because Seinfeld himself admitted that his TV series was about nothing.If you enjoy watching footage about nothing, such as episodes of Seinfeld, then you will probably find this movie entertaining. If, however, you're like me and never could stand watching an entire episode of Seinfeld because it was so obviously about nothing, then you are not likely to enjoy this movie either.
Infofreak I'm a Vincent Gallo nut. I love the guy and would even watch a movie of him reciting the phone book. That would probably be more entertaining than sitting through 'Get Well Soon'. Apparently this is a comedy. Coulda fooled me. The only laugh I got out of it was the sheer audacity of the video cover blurb which said it was "in the tradition of 'There's Something About Mary'. Say what?! '..Mary' was actually funny, 'Get Well Soon' isn't. And apart from that the similarity is? You tell me!Vincent Gallo ('Buffalo 66', 'Palookaville') plays Bobby Bishop, a hip talk show host. He appears to be cracking up. He leaves his show in disgrace to return to New York and look up his old girlfriend (Courtney Cox) and attempts to woo her back. Mixed up with this are various, I hesitate to even call them sub-plots, involving mental patients and Matthew Broderick's dog. It's too stupid and pointless to even bother elaborating. Gallo radiates charisma, and is always watchable, even when the material is as poor and as dull as this. And boy! is it poor and dull.The supporting cast includes Jeffrey Tambor (best known for 'The Larry Sanders Show', and who, funnily enough, was actually in 'There's Something About Mary'), Anne Meara (veteran character actor/comedienne, and mother to Ben Stiller), and Elina Lowensohn ('Schindler's List' and various Hal Hartley movies).This is easily the worst movie Vincent Gallo has been involved with. It's even worse than 'Arizona Dream' which at least had a handful of outstanding scenes involving Gallo to redeem it. 'Get Well Soon' is a tedious bore from start to finish. I honestly can't think of one good thing about it. The fact is it's an awful movie that will please nobody. Let's just pretend it never happened...
