Not what you wanted or expected

DaddyGee
from New York, NY
1987 is my time, and this was billed as an Eighties type movie...so I'm thinking Meatballs, or Caddyshack...Of course I expected a funny summer movie, only to get a very dark and depressing romance...nearly every person is despondent or broken, and even the resolution is kind of shabby. Not many characters to like -- Ryan Reynolds is HORRIBLY miscast as a bad guy, when the role is really supposed to be a Bill Murray goofy kind of role. Should be straight to video - save your money
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Lots of action, but too deep to be a summer popcorn flik...not something for the tweeners (14 yr old) - disturbing violence towards children and women in general rules them out. Faithful to the original Alan Moore ideals -- deeply flawed 'heroes', half of whom could also be considered villains. Intense scenes of sexuality - again, leave the 14 yr olds at home! Its long - really long - too long to have a Big Gulp without missing some of the film in the bathroom. I'd recommend it, but not for the faint of heart or weak of bladder
Yes, I recommend this movie.
