Thought-provoking and entertaining

Best Movie of the year! This one will tug at your heart strings. Superb acting… you will laugh, cry and find yourself angry at times... It blows my mind the blatant nonsensical discrimination. . Right and wrong are easy to discern. Appalling, entertaining, touching… I’m voting this one for Oscar…
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's a romantic, touching, screwball comedy

Found myself rooting for Steve Carell’s character and liked how the characters intertwined stories were goofy. The only thing I did not like was that it had us bouncing around each story. Although the other character story lines came together it was not really seamless. I have to admit I did laugh a couple of times though…. I also came away liking Ryan Gosling. CSL is a nice Summer Movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Cute Romantic Comedy

FWB is a typical, “by-the-numbers” predictable romantic comedy. Yet I kept finding myself enjoying it at times mainly because of the leads…Thanks to the Chemistry between Justin and Mila it felt believable. There were some scenes that seem to drag out a bit but all and all I liked it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Same story

I was surprised …thought this would be a good one, from the Previews I was excited…. It was the same story… what a rip off. I felt like I was watching the same Movie again…they replaced the baby with a monkey LOL . The first film surprised you into laughs as they tracked the antics of the night before. I expected this one to be fresh, the game to change and for them to push the envelope <<sigh>>… bottom line, did I laugh> I did. As much as the first time? ..”Nope” A couple of things, Not sure why the brother had to be 16 … and why didn’t the father get angry at the end when the boy comes back with a missing finger … I think we were all BAMBOOZLED. LOL
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Nothing to make me invest in the characters

I plopped into my seat and placed the 3D glasses over my glasses…. OK the film's 3D is amazing only for about five minutes, after that I just stopped noticing it altogether. Although the CGI animation is simply extraordinary, there was never enough to make the characters feel real or relatable … nothing that made me invest in the characters, neither machine nor man, for that matter. The physics of an entire plant alongside earth without affecting its gravity LOL… and then there was one scene when the Bots were fighting each other, Autobots and the Decepticons. I couldn’t tell who was who … special effects are only meaningful when we actually care about what’s going on on-screen. LaBeouf as Sam …the spoiled ex-hero simply appears surly and remote… He’s downtrodden until he once again gets the perfect opportunity find his mojo and save the girl…eh ok … The entire film had eye candy … I wish the world was really like that … Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson as well as their Army full of buffed good looking men. They added the Victoria Secret model Huntington-Whiteley for the guys. For my money, I think the film could have used a little bit more comedy and get us invested in the characters so we can cheer when the fighting ensues ….. I’m just saying …LOL.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's a thinker!

OK, first of all Leonardo DiCaprio you Rock! …One of the best actors de jour. I was very involved at following this movie. I love a good riddle. Somewhere in level 3, I started to squirm in my seat ... the fight scenes were too repetitious! Same stuff different clothes..C'mon fast forward LOL... I wanted to get up and leave the theater I started to get bored! I am glad I stayed as it picked up towards the end and left you to think about the entire movie. So as a whole I thought it was a good movie but they could have done some editing… seriously. I’m ok with it, yet I wouldn’t go back and see it twice like I heard some folks are doing. I’ll wait for the video. Go and see it . I am interested in hearing what other people think.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
