ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
missedshel Great script for Will Farrell as he's not crazy obnoxious but just enough to be funny. Maggie is loveable and adorable. Nice to see WF in a toned down comedic movie with more substance to it.
gardiyaN_x Harika ve enteresan bir eser herkesin izlemesi gerektigini dusunuyorum.
Lele This is exactly the kind of story I would write if I was a screenwriter! Just like Ruby Sparks (2012) by Zoe Kazan (yes, she's the granddaughter of great Elia Kazan). Actually when I was younger I loved try and write something and one of the story, never finished to say the truth, was about a character who realizes he is fictional. This movie is perfect. I love Emma Thompson, since I first saw her acting in 1989 Tall Guy (higly recommended): she his one of my favorite actress.And I love Will Ferrel, too. One of my favorites is Land of the Lost (2009), a movie that look like the plot was written by sci fi writers Robert Sheckley and Douglas Adams together!I love this movie so much that I want to watch it again in the original version, you know: here in Italy they distribute just dubbed movies. Fortunately DVD prices have had a vertical collapse from 30 to 4.99 euros and less!Long life to Internet streaming if this is the reason for prices reduction:)
theroommatereview Unfortunately I can't say too much here without spoiling everything, but what I can say is that there is more to this movie than meets the eye. Beyond the awkward story of Harold's life being narrated by a pessimistic writer there is a underlying subtext you can find if you dig deep enough. On the surface this looks just like another rom-com with a twist. Like Bruce All Mighty, Yes Man, or even the animal, but this film actual has a strong undercurrent that raises it beyond the rest. I'd only recommend this film to the particularly artsy individuals out there who want something different. If nothing else the bleak sarcastic humor is charming and everyone preforms there roles exceptionally. If you want to know more about the subtext of the film follow the link below to my in-depth video review. Of course there will be spoilers there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CceG4OMqOJI
