Disappointed
PostedFebruary 19, 2011
I was so excited to see this based on the trailer and how much I enjoyed "Taken". This was NO "Taken". It started off well enough and then the plot just dissolved into an unbelievable, dull mess. I don't want to reveal the plot for those who decided to see it, but I wish I could so you could see how lame it ends up being!!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Good But A Bit Depressing
PostedJanuary 9, 2011
Loads of great singing, songs and acting all the way around. I am a huge fan of Gwyneth Paltrow's and she doesn't disappoint with this performance. I didn't give it 5 stars because I feel like the screenplay could have been better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ok For Kids, HORRIBLE For Adults
PostedDecember 28, 2010
This movie was trite, slow and just generally lame. I honestly didn't laugh even one time. Jack Black must need some quick cash to lower himself to make this drivel. Don't waste your time or money!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Great For Guys & Girls
PostedDecember 19, 2010
This movie is surprisingly funny and gritty at the same time. Coming from the female perspective, the boxing scenes were the right length and not laborious to watch. GREAT acting by Christian Bale, Mark Walberg and Amy Adams. Loved it!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great 2nd To Last Potter Film
PostedNovember 20, 2010
I loved it. It was true to the spirit of the book for certain. I can see how it could be hard to follow in parts for those who hadn't read any of the books. My husband was a bit lost where the lingo was concerned. He did like it even still.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Sorely Disappointing
PostedOctober 3, 2010
I loved seeing Michael Douglas and Shia Lebouf was good but this was slow drivel. The hero of the film, Gekko's daughter, was the one of the most uninteresting and uncompelling characters I have seen in a film. I am really irritated that I contributed to that jackass, Oliver Stone's pocket book. Ugh!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Loud & Frenetic But Fun All The Same
PostedAugust 29, 2010
There were some good, funny one-liners and a lot of action, as you might expect. The cast was perfect and it was great to see the bad guys get taken out. This is a guy movie first and foremost but I liked seeing it with my husband.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Silly Fun
PostedAugust 1, 2010
It is entertaining. Not the best comedy but fun. The concept is original but the jokes were pretty predictable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You Need To Be Able To Suspend Reality
PostedJuly 25, 2010
It was fun and entertaining but not at all plausible. Another drawback was that Angelina Jolie is not the strong woman she was in other action movies. She seemed frail which made it harder to suspend reality (and you really need to be able to with this plot) than it would have if she was stronger.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
