PodBill Just what I expected

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Mike Naughton This is one of the movies I watch at Christmastime. This year I seemed to get it more. And I thought Nick Cage did a great job. I am glad we have Tea Leoni on film in a good movie. She makes one understand the word wife in a more attractive physical way than we usually get in a movie. There were several moments that I considered writing about. Don Cheadle made his character completely real, a necessary task in this kind of movie. (When one wants a powerful and true performance of a character who can do better than Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle and Denzil Washington. I guess we live in a time when such a statement is thought to come from some personal agenda. It doesn't; this just seemed like a obvious thought last night as I watched Don Cheadle. Anyway...)Annie (the daughter) is crucial to the accepting of the basic "replacement daddy" plot. And she makes it work.I think watching this movie is the only way to get what the performers and creators achieved. Might do it again tonight. (BTW: The commentaries are very good; however the Director commentary needed the movie volume raised whenever commentators weren't discussing.)

Julesecosse I liked this movie. What starts out as a light life change comedy turns into a drama with a message to all those in the rat race.Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni play well against each other in a movie which is more than the some of it's parts. I was gently sucked in, then hooked by half way; and almost a little teary at the end.I thought that it was going to be like those body change movies, which are fun but have no substance. This is definitely better than the aforementioned and I recommend it to anyone of working age, especially those city lovers or even the reverse: suburbanites with a desire to seek their fortune in the big smoke.

L R I rated this movie a 10! And it may be the most undeserving 10 on my list. But it is up there! It is just so refreshing! So watchable!This movie is just sooooo awesome! Nick Cage makes this movie a hit! Just wow! Now I understand why he is such a big name in Hollywood! He is just full of charisma! The plot is amazing! Casting is great. Maybe Tea Leoni was a weak link but still good enough to keep the movie a masterpiece.Some clichés , but I like this movie so much I just overlook them. Haha. Well, clichés are clichés for a reason I guess. They work. Also, this is a feel good movie! A movie that challenges your moral values. That makes you look into what is really important! I love it!Highly recommended!Real rating: 9.4MY RATING SYSTEM:9.35 - 10 = rating 10 ***** 8.6 - 9.3 = rating 9 ***** 7.8 - 8.5 = rating 8 ***** 7.0 - 7.7 = rating 76.0 - 7.0 = 6 5.0 - 6.0 = 5 4.0 - 5.0 = 4 3.0 - 4.0 = 3 2.0 - 3.0 = 2 1.0 - 2.0 = 1
