Really good
PostedJanuary 29, 2012
The first thing you need to know is that this is not a Tom Hanks or Sandra Bullock movie, and that is not a bad thing. This is about a boy with lots of quirks and a very different sensibility who went through a loss for which he was totally unprepared. It wasn't as hard to watch as I thought it would be and Max von Sydow was very good.
You need to see it and decide for yourself how important it is. I liked that they didn't preach to me about anything, I found that refreshing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Well worth seeing
PostedJanuary 22, 2012
Very good movie - compelling story. My only thought is that it felt like it started in the middle and I needed to know more about what came before than they were able to tell me in order to understand the characters. I guess you could say that about most movies. While the scenery was beautiful it wasn't just a location pic. I sometimes judge the quality of a movie by whether I look at my watch; I was drawn into the story enough that I never did look.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Enjoy it - but don't look too deep

Awesome visuals and cinematography, just not much complexity to the story. Amazing battlefield scenes and very interesting period piece but not much below the surface.
I will say, there were folks openly sobbing during the movie, so they must have been completely immersed. Must be seen on the big screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You'll squirm a little

Tough to watch at times and realize this was the truth not too long ago, this fictional story seems very real. My wife wishes it were more true to the book, but it is a very good movie. Go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Just know what you are getting into...

If you don't like nudity or lowbrow comedy, don't go. If you need an original storyline don't go. If you've wanted to see "more" of Leslie Mann since Big Daddy, this is a must see.
This is "Big" meets "17 Again" meets "it's a Wonderful Life".
All that being said, the theater was air conditioned and I enjoyed it. Thank you Leslie Mann.

They actually had a script!
PostedJuly 31, 2011
Unlike many of these movies this one wasn't totally predictable and my wife really enjoyed it. The best part was the studio didn't give everything away in the trailers! Steve Carell is actually starting to become a completely believable actor. As someone who was dragged to this one, I had a good time.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Go see it

I knew the story and my wife didn't and we both enjoyed it.
Awesome period pic with some cool cgi of 1860s Washington DC.

eh
PostedApril 1, 2011
It had its moment, but I hoped for more. I enjoyed the references to all of the "old" movies, but I really hoped I would laugh more.
For all of the possibilities of an actual alien, Paul was the least interesting character in the movie. Seth is a better actor than voice over artist.
Save your money, see it on cable.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Ehhhh
PostedFebruary 21, 2009
It was the best movie I saw that night. That's about all I can say for Paul Blart. Kevin James has a good presence, but the movie tried to be serious at times, and while the funny stuff was funny, it wasn't that funny.
I was looking forward to it and it disappointed.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Solid
PostedJanuary 24, 2009
Well worth seeing if only as a period piece; but it is also very well acted. If you need every detail explained you will leave unsatisfied, several elements left for your consideration and conjecture.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
