Low rating?`


Further proof people are idiots and have terrible taste, and that I, am a snob. This movie's a *beep* 10.

Ha.

Well, it is a 10 in my book for sure.

But, possibly more than any other film I know, it seems to split people quite abruptly. Some, like me, totally buy into it, think the direction was outstanding, great cinematography, wonderful cast, razor-sharp script, memorable and loveable characters and all-round love it.

Others seem to think it is average at best.

Maybe it's Norton, who I think is just incredible but others diss quite freely. Maybe it's just too dark for some people. Maybe they don't like profanity. Maybe they were expecting a kids film.

Don't know and I probably don't care. So long as I got my Smoochy...

How could anyone freedly diss Norton in this role? He went from playing a neo-nazi who makes a guy bite the curb, to THIS?? and plays them both beautifully! Pure talent.

A gem of a film. Years ahead of its time.

oh my god.. just saw this wonderful movie and was thinking it was just outside the top 250 -- but 6.2?? that is criminal! please people do not listen to these reviews and watch the movie.

For something that's considered underrated, 6.2 isn't too bad.
But I'd still prefer like, 6.5 at least.

Now I have three sequels. Ho ho ho.

havnt watched it yet but reading some of these comments make me think some people are just stupid (none of you that actually commented) but people just shouldnt give a film a low rating for things like violence and language. maybe its not their thing but to rate a film low for that is just ridiculous. like There Will Be Blood in my book is a 10, but theres probably some ass out there who wouldve given it a 10, but then dropped it to a 6 because they dont like violence. which would explain why some really great films are rated poorly.

If you do good, you'll see me one more time. If you do bad, you'll see me.. two more times.

I gave it a ten, i probably would have given it an 8 but i wanted to boost the rating a little bit. And i agree with everything the person above me said. I hate when people give a movie that isn't really something they would like in the first place but for some reason they gave it a try and then gave it a low rating. i hate romantic comedies but i don't go and give every rom com that i've been forced to see a one because i already have a biased opinion. this movie is really good for what it is, and that;s a black comedy, probably one of the better black comedies too and i think that it should be appreciated for that!

People always rate films based on what they like and don't like. That's what "rating" is.

I wanna see this just to see the only movie Jon Stewart has done.

reply

Jon Stewart was also in Big Daddy and Half Baked.

reply

Good to know. I've already seen Big Daddy, but I don't think JS was that well-known then, so I didn't notice him.
