Messy but brilliant dialogue
PostedAugust 21, 2011
The movie follows the book closely, but the characters don't always seem to be in sync, as they always are in the book. Nevertheless, Sturgess is outstanding as Dexter, and Hathaway pulls her own weight but is not nearly as good. Definitely worth it on the big screen; great European cinematography.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Interesting
PostedOctober 30, 2010
This movie is certainly interesting but it's no Oscar winner. The stories intertwine and develop in interesting ways, but at times it can be a bit hokey.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great acting but terrible story
PostedSeptember 28, 2009
What was the only good thing about this movie? Matt Damon. The rest is not worth your time or money. Too disconnected and just downright BORING.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A rental
PostedJune 8, 2009
The movie is easy to digest and entertaining, but don't waste your money at the box office. Wait for it on DVD.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Stress reliever during the holidays
PostedNovember 30, 2008
Not an Oscar contender, but who thinks about that when Vince Vaughn a.k.a. "wedding crasher" is in the movie?
It was funny and it had moments that I wish had never made the final cut. But, it's still an easy getaway from the stress of the holiday season and all that comes with it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The best this summer
PostedJuly 26, 2008
I am definitely jumping on the bandwagon and saying this is the best movie of the summer, if not the year. Oscar performances? Too many to count, but most definitely Ledger's.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A bit to high-browed
PostedJune 28, 2008
I enjoyed Wall-E and so did my family. However, we did find it to be a bit too much -- too many messages consolidated into one hour and a 1/2. It was like "preaching" without the minister. Anyway, it's still enjoyable so add it to your queue instead of going to the movies. The big screen does nothing for the experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Steve Carell ... need I say more?
PostedJune 26, 2008
Entertaining as heck ... clever and true to form.
And, Steve Carell was perfectly cast.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You can't help but like Jason Segel
PostedMay 3, 2008
Even though many people won't find this movie to be that great, there are some very funny (and yes crude) parts to the movie, in typical Judd Apatow style. One of the funniest characters was Paul Rudd as a surfing instructor ... really silly and funny. And, Jason Segel delivers a romantic comedy performance that would make every Jewish mom proud.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Really Funny at times
PostedApril 19, 2008
While this wasn't nearly the excellent film that the Sideways director previously delivered, there are some hilariously witty and funny scenes in this movie. Thomas Haden Church is hysterical as the black sheep uncle Chuck. Probably the least likable character was SJP's but I would say that's because it really felt under-developed, like it needed more screen time.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
