I literally dragged my husband to this movie. He thought he would rather poke his eye out, but he left the theater saying "wow what a really great movie!".
It made me laugh, it made me cry! I cannot say one bad thing about the movie.
I loved every minute. Every single actor did a stand up job! Everyone in the theater was lol! I enjoyed it so much that I plan on seeing it again, and I don't ever do that.
I know I am disagreeing with everyone, but I was bored silly. Helen Mirren is a long time favorite, but she was just not in the movie enough, The story was interesting, the acting was excellent by the entire cast, but I found the flashback scenes, as I mentioned, boring. I don't need an action movie to keep me interested, but to me this one was just a sleeper.
Forget the professional reviewers - what do they know. We absolutely loved this movie. It's not a shoot em up or an alien movie - its just darn good fun.
If you miss this movie, you will be sorry.
We are big Tom Hanks fans and he did not let us down. Neither of us care for Julia Roberts, but we even enjoyed her performance.
I love Cameron Diaz, but they put way way too much makeup on her for this role I am guessing trying to hid the fact that she was just too old for this part. This role called for a 20 something! Bottom line - I did not find this movied all that funny. I think they were going for a "Something About Mary" but they did not even get close.
I was told this movie was along the lines of "Something About Mary". I guess who ever said this never saw that very very funny movie. This movie is only not funny but the main character is totally unlikeable. Please save your money! Go see a really good movie, Super 8!.
I like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson very much so this was a "no brainder" for me. I really enjoyed the movie, but my husband fell asleep and thought it was just another "chase" movie.
