Conflict and ambiguity in tight places

Perhaps it was because I went in with little expectation due to the last few disappointing releases of M. Night Shyamalan ; along with a PG13 rating. I can say from the first 2 minutes of the film, I was intrigued as to where it was leading; which lead to an inabilty to figure out who was doing what and why. The plot was not in your face until the last 30 minutes of the film, but when you caught hold, it was obviously clear; there are consequences for our actions, and everyone impacts others by either doing something..... or doing nothing. I can say he returned to the quality of his original work along with giving the movie goer their money's worth. The ending could have had a bit more grit for my liking, but overall, an edge of the seat, great night's entertainment.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Unexpectedly likeable

I am not a big Sandra Bullock fan, and was not certain I could buy her as a housewife, let alone a mother of a black football player. She knocked this one out of the park. There were moments where I felt it could have been edited down and 20 minutes could have been cut from the film, but over all, the sentiment, acting and story line were strong. I judge a film by if I would purchase it when it's released. This is a "I will buy it!".
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Funny stuff

Saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall which the critics loved and I thought it was cute, had some good moments and chuckled a bit. My teenage daughter forced me to sit through this film, which I was not looking forward to and couldn't quit laughing. I am not an Ashton fan, but the movie was one I would actually sit through again. Surprisingly funny with a strong supporting cast who were funnier than the stars. Good stuff.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I saw this film without the knowing what it was about. It had sharp, biting, dialogue, was written believable for a teen film, (uncomfortably believable). I took my teenage daughter with whom we rarely agree on the same film and both found entertaining and heart felt at the same time.
Recommend highly.
