ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
loydmooney-1 And giving it a two was a real struggle. Almost magical on my part. This is the sort of lamebrain thing that has brought on Hollywood vomiting all over its own shoes. Or rather that has always had the place doing it to itself. It just loves mindlessness. Though in this case it has outdone itself. You had the feeling it felt restrained from being so earthbound. Needing a flying camera from 30000 feet through clouds. With an occasional reverse point of view underwater. Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of film and Jack fell down and broke his splicer and Jill came tumbling after it and went home with her for a long tall dry martini.About the only thing I have seen this bad recently was Spielbergs The Terminal. Avoid both like the Bird Flu.
pharaoh_hatshepsut you won't be able to control your bodily spasms due to laughter while watching what i think was suppose to be a serious? movie...it's terrible- absolutely horrible- as a serious movie BUT wow what a great comedy.
psycholemming Russell Crowe is the only good thing about this movie. Of course, any movie with him in it is watchable. This movie was saved from the terrible performances of the other actors (including Bridget Fonda who is generally a very good actress) by the mere presence of Crowe, who, as always, was fantastic. Can we give him an Oscar for every movie he's been in, please? Pretty please?
jack-284 When I first saw this movie I knew I liked it immensely, but I didn't really know why. I had to see it several times before I really "got" it. It's a very very different movie. The symbolism was a treat! Things which were shown in a fantasy-type way are things which happen in real life--e.g. bitterness being shown as an egg being laid that when hatched, is a venomous spider. In this movie, just about anything can happen! Love is magic but love can't happen with bitterness in the way; likewise, magic can't happen without love. The actors exuded the '40's style with finesse with the witty lines, and Bridget Fonda's costumes were exciting. I will surely watch this movie again and share it with others.
