Oh god, finally a twenty minute long movie


I made it through about twenty minutes of this festering pile of koala crap before it made me begin to contemplate suicide and I was forced by a higher powers to remove it from my DVD player. The actingg was godawful and the filming and music were even worse. It was one in the morning when I started this, and I thought it'd be okay because it was only eighty five minutes and it had so many of thouse wheat things on it. I ended up watching Munich instead.

You are just plain wrong about this movie. I just watched it and it is great. Adrian Grenier is such an amazing actor. If you were expecting him to play the same role he does in Entourage, of course you will be disappointed. But if you want to see him do something completely different, and do it incredibly well, this film is for you. Maybe if you watched the whole thing you would have liked it. Or, maybe you saw too much of yourself in the character he plays???

I have to agree that this film was bad, and i watched the entire thing. I liked the premise but felt the acting was very rigid and almost forced. I did not sense any real chemistry between the two main characters. plus, it was clear early on in the relationship that he was a complete psycho. she was built up as a strong independent woman and i found her reactions unrealistic. so for me, the film was poorly acted, the characters lacked chemistry and the story lacked believability.

This movie is sad, but wonderful. It's true to life -- in life, relationships are difficult because we bring so much baggage to them. If you don't think strong, independent women fall for the wrong men, I think you don't know what you're talking about.

reply

yes, relationships are difficult because the baggage, etc, and yes, stong independent women fall for the wrong men, i just have to strongly disagree that this is a quality film. the acting is terrible. if you think the acting is quality, then we have competely differing opinions on films. what i found unbelievable is that the guy showed some truly disturbing signs very early in the relationship and i think the woman she was portrayed to be would have given him the boot much much sooner. he brought much more than baggage. he was a controlling, anger-driven psycho who showed his true colors after a week.

reply

yes, we definitely agree that we have completely differing opinions on films. I know that many of my friends, and I for that matter, have overlooked warning signals early on in guys because we hope that they will turn out to be okay, especially when they are so attractive and charming. The film was very believable on that front. And, the acting was great, too. I guess we just disagree ... we have different experiences which color our perspective when watching a film like this one.

reply

this is very true. for example, i liked the film prozac nation and most people thought it was garbage. it dealt with depression, something i've experienced, and i thought it did it very well and realistically.

reply

Yeah, Smeehan..... Let's have a pint or two, on me because I feel you 110 (percent) my friend. Adrian Grenier did a great acting job with a bad script. I completely agree that his character showed some CLEAR signs that he shouldn't be dealt with from JUMP!

1. Anytime a man hesitates to get@you (talk to romantically) and then later chases you down it shows a lack of confidence. BEWARE

2. If a man has the ability and know-how to track you down through the internet, BEWARE!

3. If the charade of being an anonymous person that you're frenquently chatting with on the internet continues beyond a 24 hour period then BEWARE

4. If a man does all the above and you WOMAN still accept him, man BEWARE

5. If a man has a fit when you grab HIS ass, woman..... BEAWARE

6. If a man wants as much romance and passion as you woman and he wants to wait to have sex so to make the first time more ... beautiful, woman BEWARE

7. If you woman are saying to your friends, "He is a little intense" then woman if you're not going to listen to yourself, please..... BEWARE

I could go on and on about this movie. There was absolutely no chemistry between these two characters. Arcieri's character for SOME reason was another BEAUTIFUL woman so desperate to be in a relationship that she ignored CLEAR and OBVIOUS signs. Which makes a bad movie because you don't truly feel sorry for her until the rape scene. But isn't that what happens when you enable a problem situation?

reply

yes, you will be wise to follow these warning signs. oh, and if your boyfriend stands up in the middle of the restuarant and screams at your best friend, making a big scene, on the first night he is introduced to your friends, this is not a good sign.

reply

right ... and that's when she dumped him ... made sense to me.
Powerful movie.

reply

oh, is that when she dumped him? i thought maybe it was when he threw the eggs against the wall and ran off to pout after she told him she was pregnant, or when he raped her while they were staying with her parents.

reply

Wish I had had the foresight to abort this travesty having only lost 20 minutes of my life. I hung in there, waiting to see if a point emerged. It was random and poorly acted, with the exception that Grenier made a fairly convincing "broken man."
The point that women make poor choices could certainly be made in a better film than this.

reply

Wait, you mean it WASNT a comedy? I couldn't stop laughing...especially the ending...omg, wow...

reply

The running scenes were effin hilarious!!!
