Possibly one of the worst films of the year
This is like a prolonged episode of Neighbours.Incredibly Dull and slow paced. The animation gives a little lift in places but ultimately this film is as dry as the climate it was filmed in. Avoid!
shareReally? Do you actually watch Neighbours? Your credibility is shot right there, I'm afraid.
So you're actually saying you've never even caught 5mins of an episode when flicking through day time Tv? I don't watch the show but yeah ive seen an episode or 2. How many years has it been running for!?? It would be like someone saying they've never seen an episode of the Simpsons......
Honesty is more credible than anything........
Um, yeah. I don't even watch the channel that it's on.
I like honesty too. I find your post about this film bordering on the absurd.

Basically everything.
Plus, I have a confession. I lied. It was unintentional though. I do watch Channel 10. Only on weekends, for the footy. Please forgive me.

Thanks. No I didn't find it slow paced. When I saw it at the cinema, at a packed house as well, which is fairly rare in Adelaide, nobody left. We laughed, we cried. I guess you've never had to deal with loved ones with cancer. With sickness and death.

Irreverent? Sorry, I don't know you and I apologise.
I really can't see why someone with those experiences wouldn't appreciate this film. Did you watch it until the end or did you walk out with the others?

Hmmm. I know what irreverent means. I didn't think that I was being so. But you thought so, therefore I apologised.
To say that this was possibly one of the worse films of the year and not even see it to the end is kinda odd in my opinion. Because the last part shows how it all ties together. It builds. You really missed the best part. Although, I didn't find any of it slow OR boring.
I'm not going to describe it for you mainly because I really couldn't do it justice. If you are interested, you really should watch it again.
Maybe no matter how eclectic your taste is it's just not your sort of film. For example, I found The Girl With The Pearl Earring extremely slow. Other people just love it.
I haven't seen Garden State.

I didn't like the film either and I think that the ending was one of the worst parts!! It tried to be all deep and meaningful but it didn't show any insight into its subject matter, it WAS pretty and thought provoking but it copped out! All the way through was worry and doom and gloom then the ending was 'but everything turns out fine in the end'! It completely avoided actually dealing with any of the issues.
shareHey, you need to read the other thread dealing with the ending. This thread's theme was about NOT watching the entire film.
Pluto is now too small to be a planet.
Yup, I've always said, if you don't actually bother to watch the film (whole film) then you haven't really got a leg to stand on when you criticise it.
Go back, actually watch the film, then you're qualified to give us an opinion.
I thought it was about middling. It wasn't the best film I've ever seen, but I did enjoy parts of it.
Some parts of it were very irreverent
I liked it a lot. I bought the DVD. I don't have a problem with people NOT liking it. The original poster watched part of it and then had the audacity to compare it with a Australian soapy.
PS: You should've replied to her really, not me. She's the one that needs to watch it through.

You're right, I should have replied to her, but I tend to just reply to the last person who's posted. Quite lazy of me really.
It would seem so. But never mind I doubt that she'd be back even if you replied to her.
shareYeah, probably too busy watching neighbours...

Good one.
Wha? Why does someone have to have someone they know die of cancer to appreciate this movie? I didn't like this movie very much- it just seemed like incoherent dribble put together half-competently by a woman with half an idea what a good movie is. I could make a better movie than this.
shareI didn't say that. I suspect that I relate more to it because I have.
"I could make a better movie than this."
Sure you could.
Just wait...
shareOkay. But I won't hold my breath.
When do you start shooting?
Oy. Movies take years and I'm only 16. I'm not going to hurry anything for you or anyone else.
share"I'm not going to hurry anything for you or anyone else."
Not even me?
Hey- you ain't bad after all. I had you figured for another troll ready to poo-poo on my goals.
shareThanks.
I'm not a troll. I don't poo-poo anyones ideas or goals. I just happen to love this film.
Good luck young person!
Personally I thought it was a nice film. Certainly not groundbreaking and WOW OMG, but still very nice. I liked the humour, and I like Justine Clarke.
shareYOU ARE WRONG!!!
Not that you can't have an opinion, just that your opinion is FLAT OUT, CATEGORICALLY WRONG!!!
LOOK BOTH WAYS was one of the best films I've seen recently, with terrific animation and nice character studies. The ending, by the way, not a cop-out as has been previously said!
Hey, why are you saying I am wrong? All my posts have said how much I enjoyed this film.
Why don't you *respond* to the person who started this thread?
The Yabbies..the handsomest team in the league.
I haven't lost anyone to cancer or the like, but i still enjoyed the movie heaps. It just depends on wether the viewers has a heart or not.
Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.
Relax man the movie blows
