Ehirerapp Waste of time
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
teo876 I wanted to watch this movie because I am a big fan of Grace Van Patten. This young actress has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the movie goes further in the Hollywood style and must undress every young actress at the beginning of their career. This is not art, this is call perverted view. Do you really need to show naked people in order to express your ideas? This is the way you teach the young generation how to look at life and how to express? It is a disgrace. I am terribly disappointed that Grace Van Patten accepted to play this role. Probably she had no other choice as many other actresses, but it is disappointing. Regarding the story, I am not convinced by their performance and is a big disappointment especially Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thomson who made such great couple in "Last chance Harvey". I was expecting much more from such first class actors. The other two (Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller) are not between my favourites and they did not excel in their roles. I am still waiting for a good movie...
MJB784 I found it mostly boring. It wasn't particularly funny or dramatic. It also had odd chapter stops. I also don't understand why it cut to a chapter when someone was screaming usually. Very abrupt edits.
m-skabe Boring, not sense no story just c*ap not interesting stupid stupid story painfully to watch, I have feelings that this good actor wanna make movie..like they desperate for earning money and promote yourself...absolute wasted potential of them!
florisvanrutten To start off, this film is absolutely worth watching for the witty dialogues that Noah Baumbach has written skillfully. Some of the scenes, especially the first one of the entire movie, almost ask for immediate re-watching. However, despite some serious character development, the film didn't feel completely sincere and logical to me. It doesn't bother much, however, because of the great skill that the actors in the film have to bring Baumbachs jokes to life. Surprisingly, Adam Sandler stands out in The Meyerowitz Stories. Grace van Patten was also a great discovery to me, she reminds me a lot of Shailene Woodley in her better roles. The 'not unpornographical' movies Van Patten's character makes are so bizarre and funny that they deliver some of the best moments in this picture. Ben Stiller, Emma Thompson and Elizabeth Marvel deliver solid performances. Dustin Hoffman is incredibly irritating as the center of the movie. He handles that well, but it's difficult to really feel for him as he slowly gets weaker. Baumbach often makes films about irritating characters and in this film he doesn't manage to make you feel much emotion for them. That's the main flaw of The Meyerowitz Stories. Despite some serious character development in both the characters of Sandler and Stiller, you don't feel enough for them to be really moved by their new decisions. A minor flaw is the sloppy ending, in which too many things seem to happen unnecessarily. I felt that the film would have been better if it was about 15 minutes shorter. However, The Meyerowitz Stories is absolutely interesting for the witty dialogues, bizarre and aswkard situations and the appearance of Sigourney Weaver at an art exhibition.
