Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
leonblackwood Review: Although the cast looked impressive, this movie really wasn't that good and the storyline was pretty terrible. It's about a man who thinks that he has everything that a man wants out of life, until he finds out that his wife is having an affair and his career is going nowhere. He then becomes a mentor for a sharp kid who helps him turn his life around and shows him how to get the most out of life. I'm usually a fan of Aaron Eckharts work, but he really did make a fool out of himself in this movie. The jokes weren't that funny and the storyline went from one ridiculous scene to another. The director piled up to many different elements which made the film seem messy and not that enjoyable. None of the top actors put in an outstanding performance, which is due to the terrible script, so this is yet another movie that has to get the thumbs down from me. Disappointing!Round-Up: Aaron Eckhart really let me down in this film, alongside Jessica Alba and Elizabeth Banks who were also not that great. There were also some other big names in the film, like Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis, but they weren't in the movie that much. I was impressed with the young looking Logan Lerman whose also starred in Fury, the Percy Jackson franchise and Noah but I just found it hard to find the film slightly amusing. I'm not surprised that it made such a lose at the box office but I am surprised with the budget which must have gone towards the actors wages. Anyway, it's worth a watch if you just want some noise in the background but I personally think that it was a waste of a good cast.Budget: $5million Worldwide Gross: $347,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into their comedies about a man whose goes through a mid-life crisis after finding out that his wife is having an affair. 3/10
redheadedrob The world knows they are lost but they don't know the answer. Here we see various characters portrayed, all with their own agenda, all seeking their own way, their own profit, their own pleasure, but none are truly happy. This is in my opinion a very accurate portrayal of the world. The main character seems to realize something is wrong but unfortunately his answer is to throw caution to the wind and engage in sinful behavior that if practiced in real live would result in disaster but since this is Hollywood that is presented as the answer. The real answer is to lay down your life in service of others. But of course we will never see a movie about that!
zif ofoz is this a male in marriage midlife crisis movie?is this a slapstick comedy?is this a teen sex flick?is this a tween fantasy movie?i do not know.but i do know it ain't funny because it's trying to be funny and comes across as just stupid. the story rambles on putting 'bill' in one goofy situation after another and then has a serious finish.not much else to be said about this attempt at comedy/drama/sex/slapstick/idiosyncrasy bomb of a film.forget it!
Danny Blankenship "Meet Bill" is one of those movies you watch for a little fun and a few laughs for entertainment really nothing special. Still it's theme of struggling thru life and trying to find yourself and be happy with a different direction is something most of us can agree with. The acting and chemistry was also pretty good here having some talent with Aaron Eckhart, Jessica Alba, Tim Olyphant, and the cute Elizabeth Banks. And too this picture proves life is not always what it seems and happiness can come unexpected.Bill(Aaron Eckhart)lives a lie in his life it's all messed up true he has a good paying bank job and he's married to a sexy trophy type gal in Jess(sexy turn from Elizabeth Banks)yet underneath it all it's trouble. Jess is having an affair with a local newsman(Tim Olyphant)and working for his father in law at the bank starts to fill like he's at a dead end. Yet when Bill becomes a mentor to a teen his life starts to change, as the teen tries to introduce Bill to a hot young lady named Lucy(Jessica Alba). Along the way all learn about life, love, and friendship, it shows to Bill he must become his own man. As the film's theme is find your own path in life. Overall good comedy film that proves it's point.
