cute movie
PostedSeptember 18, 2010
My wife and I both enjoyed this movie. Was light hearted and funny for what was basically a high school flick. Emma Stone did a great job acting and was definitely carrying the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

so so

Both David and Tina are wonderful. What can you say about two great comedians?
As another reviewer noted, the movie itself was not non-stop laughs. There are parts of the film that are hilarious, but other parts are droll and "yawn" - very inconsistent. (stay through the credits though!)
I'd probably wait for video on this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

entertaining, but 3D IMAX tough on the eyes
PostedMarch 15, 2010
I like Tim Burton movies and this one is no exception. I found the acting was great, the story a classic, and the movie overall a good rendition of the story.
What I had trouble w/ if anything was the 3D. The glasses dim the movie (like wearing sun glasses in some sense) and you have to have your head positioned just so in order to haev the right 3D effect. This technology needs more work.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

hmmm, mixed feelings
PostedJanuary 24, 2010
Like many have already commented, beautifically shot on B&W. The acting was for the most part stellar. Editing was also great.
But, I don't think the film did a good job (IMO) of motivating *why* all those bad things were happening.
[Possible spoiler alert] .
The movie intimated that children were for the most part responsible. But I couldn't tell why who was doing what. Maybe something lost in the translation? ( I know a little German - the subtitles were not always faithful to what I was hearing).
I left the theatre "disturbed" - not just because the material was disturbing (which it is), but because I felt like too much was left unsaid.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

good, but not great
PostedJanuary 16, 2010
I was disappointed with this movie. Might have been that my expectations were so high beforehand I could only be disappointed, but ...
I'm not sure I knew what this movie wanted to be. It begins with a young girl experiencing her first brush with romance. This is then snatched away with her murder. We then see scenes of the inbetween afterlife intermingled with a suspense tale, with Suzy sometimes just an observer and sometimes a participant in the hunt. This mish-mash of moods leads to an uneven movie - it's hard to decide what to feel when.
The movie is certainly well made and well directed. I'd say it's worth a view, but don't set your expectations very high.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

loved this movie!
PostedDecember 18, 2009
I plan to see it again. Good story, INCREDIBLE vision.
Upside: visually stunning, extremely well made movie. I was mesmerized watching this film, drawn into the almost real fanatsy it created.
Downside: I would vote the story as "ok." As my son said, "Pocahontas 2" except the Indians are aliens. Don't get me wrong -, the script is good, the story moves along at a good pace. But not terribly original.
Overall: don't miss. See it in IMAX 3D as well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

not sure I'd even wait for DVD
PostedOctober 12, 2009
Given the other great films the Cohen brothers have made and given the hype I had heard about this one, I was VERY disappointed.
Like other people commenting on it have noted, unless you are Jewish (and I'm not), you will have a VERY hard time relating to/follwong this film. I am also not sure what story the film makers were trying to convey - what, "life sucks, then you die?"
No, I do not recommend this movie.

it's "ok"
PostedJuly 18, 2009
Definitely a "wait for it on cable" in the series. Technically, movie was good. Acting was good. What was hard to follow was plot. Maybe you needed to have read the book (I haven't).
No, I do not recommend this movie.

funneeeee movie
PostedJuly 7, 2008
I think one of Steve C's best so far. Not a perfect movie, but well worth seeing. Lots of great laughs, and for the most part, the movie has lots of action and moves at a pretty good pace.
Max goes from being a desk jockey to full fledged hero agent, one who gets the girl (99), saves the president, ... Max and 99 (Anne) have good on-screen chemistry.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

very good film
PostedJuly 5, 2008
I really enjoyed this movie, especially since I was told it wasn't very good before seeing it. I think the people who said that were wrong.
The movie moves at a good clip, and I think Will Smith's character has pretty good depth. Will Smith did a good job in this movie. The story had a few surprises for me as well.
Overall, worth seeing.
