Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
redrobin62-321-207311 You know, it's too bad that the rich kids are the ones allowed to make films simply because they can afford the equipment and the schooling. The problem there is rich kids have absolutely nothing to say. Zip. What can be the source of their angst? The water ran cold in the Jacuzzi? The maid called in sick so now somebody has to sweep the foyer? Muffy refuses to eat dinner because Jake got a new iPhone for Christmas and she has to suffer by using last year's model? Ridiculous.The best these aspiring filmmakers can do is rob every Peter and Paul in Hollywoodland of their unoriginal ideas and throw it up on screen. 'Huff', or 'Big Bad Wolf' is so uninteresting that time is better spent pruning a tree than watching this crap.One of the biggest problem these new filmmakers have is casting. How on God's Green Earth does one find such gorgeous, Playboy models inhabiting the sticks of Arkansas or the trailer parks of West Virginia? You stand in front of a decrepit home in Buttf*ck, Tennessee with the wash hanging out on the line in the front yard, a '59 pickup with no hood and two supermarket shopping carts on the lawn and enough dog poop around the house to start your own compost company, then you open the front door to watch Beyoncé and Paris Hilton exit? I don't think so. Rich boys, get a grip.This is one of those films you have to fast forward through till you see someone bleeding which, in this case, was very little. The movie was as thin as rice paper - no depth, no substance, no nothing. Maybe frat boys will applaud this tripe, but then, they're probably watching a movie their cousins made.
begob There's a solid story in here, but someone forgot to tell it.The whole thing is disjointed. The opening scene presents a perverted world view. Then there's a pointless scene with a gang. Then there's a load of scenes showing the director has no idea how to tell a story or generate believable action.The actors are good, but several of the characters don't need to be here. Why three sisters? Because there were three little pigs. Why does Huff have two women? No idea.The incoherence between scenes, and even within scenes, is spectacular. And yet it's very well shot. I bet the photographer looked at the story boards and said, "But..." and the director said, "Shut up - I'm the boss".On top of that the sex and violence is really prudish. Hoping for a PG13? LOL.With a good director this could have been a decent black comedy of white trash despair. Instead it's just trash.
Jack Hunter OK, don't read this at all until after you see it if you care more about spoiler than wasting your life.First issue is that casting was horrible. Three daughters look basically same age as their mother, which is around 30. They are supposed to behave like they are under 16 or something, or its another attempt by some idiot to try and say that 17 year olds are 'children', either way, I saw them as used up by life, not as children and as thats kinda main point of film, it failed right from start.Second thing that really sucked majorly is that Huff character (name of main guy apparently, who is supposed to represent 'the wolf') is highly inconsistent. He has asthma which seems to be so severe that he can barely do anything, yet here he is running around actively. Person who wrote the character is clueless about asthma, and as I am not it killed it for me.I cant say I got point of his quoting the Bible few times as he was obviously nonreligious. I am agnostic, but it just felt like retarded extremist atheist portrayal of retarded extremist Christian ... maybe that was whole point of entire film.I found it to be garbage overall, although actor playing Huff did great job acting. Probably only person in the entire film that did something actually productive.My advice to Huff actor playing Huff: Dude find a better agent. You can do much better than this type of crap films, you've got talent.
yourdreamer I was able to see this at a screening held in Dallas last month, with some of the cast and crew involved also attending. While this movie will not set the world on fire, if you take it at face value (a take off of the 3 Little Pigs with some random and sometimes uncomfortable humor involved), it is a decent flick - worth a rental although not a full-on purchase.Spoilers belowHuff, the titular character played by Charlie O'Connell, is not a good guy - dealing drugs and stepping out with a mistress - who wants to make one big score before leaving the US. Unfortunately, the drug money he has gets into his girlfriend's hands, who then gives the money to her 3 daughters to start a better life with. Huff eventually finds them all, with varying degrees of success about getting the money back.There is some nudity and definitely a lot of blood (although not a lot of gore, really, compared to some slasher flicks). The callbacks to the 3 Little Pigs story are sometimes great and sometimes cringe worthy. The actresses playing the mother and her 3 daughters are not very good, but I don't think this is a movie people will want to watch for the acting skills.For the type of movie it is (which I would consider cheesy, cheeky slasher), I give this a 7/10, or a C. It's not the best in the genre, but it's entertaining.
