This movie seems to be a takeoff on Madoff scandal- focusing on the spoiled but fragile wife of the con man and her down to earth, working class sister. Kept my interest, good acting, but very depressing, not funny.
Rent an old woody Allen movie instead.
Pros great actors
Cons depressing
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I went with females and males and everyone loved it. We were laughing so hard we were crying! Would highly recommend it. Bullock and McCarthy are great.
Pros great actors, really funny

I went to this expecting a light, funny movie and was pleasantly surprised; although some romantic comedy is there, and some really funny college admission committee scenes, its also really moving, and has some good messages. My friend and I both enjoyed it even more than we were expecting to and would recommend it!
Pros great actors

Great movie! Entertaining, good story, human side, plus interesting science. Looked great in 3d imax, although i'm sure it would be fine without 3d.
Should win for cinematography!
Pros great visuals
Yes, I recommend this movie.

adults and kids should see it

Went with adults and kids different ages.
Everyone loved it; adults were crying at end!
Don't need to see it in 3D; its fine without it.
Most importantly, go on their web site when you get home (seewinter.com) to see the actual dolphin and make a donation for their important work!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Outstanding. Real, behind the scenes suspenseful world of Internet millionaires, a
narcisistic & jealous computer genius, backstabbing, drugs, women, &
a small look at harvard culture.
Exciting-see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

interesting, good acting, too dark

I went with a friend and a pre-teen who picked the movie. I saw it in digital 3D, which was good, although not as impressive as avatar imax 3D. On the positive side, I never understood the meaning of the bizarre story down the rabbit hole before, and now, seeing the background they show you at the beginning, I understood it. Also good acting. On neg side, it was too dark and depressing at times. Good movie, not my favorite.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie tracks quite a number and variety of different relationships and looks at what happens to them on valentine's day.
The positive thing about it is that there are a lot of stars in it and the acting is good. The negative thing is that the plot is nothing special, and the movie overall is ok but just fair, nothing outstanding. I think there are better movies out there.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Really enjoyed the experience. Would recommend seeing it in IMAX like I did.
Great 3D; almost made you feel like you were there with the characters in the forest. Fun to watch, and you really had to root for the good guys! Good political message about appreciating the environment and appreciating other cultures, but the kids will like it too even without the message.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I'm glad I saw the movie; it was educational and entertaining. I would have left out the beginning scene; it wasn't helpful and was out of context; would have been better at the end. Also, I think he should talk less about socialism; tends to scare people off and isn't necessary. In general, he provided a lot of good historical review and was thought-provoking and had some good ideas. Loved the funny scenes where he tried to talk with exec.s and tried to get money back; would have liked more of that. Good movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
