How was this movie?


Was this a good movie, like is it worth buying? and does josh jackson have a big part in it? cuz ive been thinking about getting it but im not sure. should i get it?

reply

I bought the movie and it is very good. Josh doesn't have a big role in it but the acting, story and music makes up for it. I also like Patricia Clarkson and Glenn Close. They were great.

reply

Hey thanks! i think im gonna buy it, it looks and sounds real good, whats it really about though?

reply

Um, Like (twirls hair), it's TOTALLY worth it! Uh-DUH! Read my review. http://www.akareviews.com...if you dare.

No, actually it was great. All I did was party and get laid. I had my whole life ahead of me.

It really grows on you, but watch it when you can be quiet with no distractions; the editing is excellent but fast sometimes, so you have to be watching every scene. You will likely find yourself rewinding over certain scenes because sometimes it's hard to hear and you will miss crucial lines.

However, though slow-paced, the characterizations are excellent and it is a VERY powerful film. heavy, and depressing (bew worned) but the leads, particulalry the older women, are superb.

It's one of those where everything turns out to be connected in the end, thoguh you don't realize it as you go along...very good movie.

Uhh, here's a rather bold idea:

Try renting it and watching it yourself, instead of asking a bunch of random strangers what they think..

I still can't believe that there are so many lazy people on the IMDb who have to ask the most retarded questions ever... The original poster of this message is a tool.

i was channel surfing and caught a glimpse of this movie. i think that whole sam and randy scene got me scared. its like i have candy for u little girl. its in my car. ewwwwwwwwww thank god it wasnt like that but i got scared for sam. anyway it was really good. waiting for the entire story to emerge at the end well the plotline for glenn's character was really good. i liked how they did that. and wasnt this a novel? man this made me cry. and it was a good cry. u should check this movie out. and dont u think its weird to ask people who have totally different tastes in movies. i mean u could ask ur friends if they saw it. you ll get a mixed response here or any other place. i would recommend it if you saw it, its deep, while someone can say it was crappy. its in the eye of the beholder. but since u asked me how was this movie, i answered it in the previous text. your welcome ;)

A.M. Homes is the author of the book of short stories. She has also written some other excellant and disturbing fiction.

The movie was a compilation of the short stories.

Calling things "retarded" makes you people sound so intelligent.

You're a tool. Apperently that person is intrested if other like minded people liked it or if she/he should stay away.

I thought it was an excellent drama with many subplots that all tie together eventually. The movie moves along slowly but if you stay with it you will be rewarded end the end when it all fits together. It can be a little depressing but its real human drama.

I foudn theis movie channel surfing. And got caught one scene at a time. I was hooked. I think it should be on a must see list.

It was very good. He's in a lot of the movie and even sings at the beginning. Definitely worth watching.

What's not to love about this movie. With an all-star ensemble cast and a great story where the lives of all the main characters are intersected by a tragic event which brings them all together. I'm just surprised this movie didn't generate as much buzz as similar movies that came out years later such as "Crash".

reply

Just another cookie cutter film of dysfunctional families.

It was actually pretty good but the ending is just confusing and there really isn't an ending.

"Be excellent to each other...And....Party on!"

reply

Not even Close and Clarkson could save this disjointed and nonsensical mess of a project. Poorly done.

reply

It sucks so bad I couldn't finish it. It's not even worth keeping if you get it as a present.
I'd suggest you keep away from it, but seeing this is an old post, I assume you have watched it by now, haven't you?
I'd like to hear your opinion on it if that's the case, cause I seem to be one of the few who loathes every single frame of it.

reply

This movie is a pretenious and obnxious imitation of Robert Altmans Short Cuts directed by some lesbo who obviously thinks she can rip off a great directors style and use it as her own.

beautifully tragic
