I want my $1.48 back


i rented this movie for $1.48. I searched through the "comedy" section and picked this one out. i did not laugh once, and neither did my viewing partner. a few chuckles arose at the sheer stupidity of the unfunny "jokes". also, it was boring and pointless. everybody sucked ass. it was like a boring english professor's lecture on boring english professors that have boring families. i was insulted by the witless humour, and especially disappointed at seeing "sjp" (i will not trouble to spell her riduculous name) acting very much like the ugly witch that she is. she has never been in a good movie, ever. i would not have rented this movie if i knew she was in it. i just didn't take the time to read the description thoroughly. why cant these movie people offer anything even mildly entertaining. i want to laugh, dammit! instead i want to throw a big turd at the directors and cast for wasting my time.

I agree the movie would have been boring--if not for the Thomas Hayden Church and Ellen Page characters. Tell me you didn't find any of their lines funny or witty? Maybe your level of humor hasn't evolved past Jim Carrey talking out of his ass.

I love these kinds of movies. I'll take a "Squid And The Whale" over a "Dark Knight" any day of the week.

reply

I'll take them both, please!

But, yeah, I loved this movie. Intelligent dialogue, interesting characters, flawed human emotion, and a generous portion of sarcastic banter - that's my kind of movie.

I'll take this kind of humor over Adam Sandler or Judd Apatow every time.

i watched it online for free and i laughed wen ellen got drunk but thats it. my friend was over and she came to visit for a week (she moved to another state) well i was watching the movie and she was kinda just sitting there hanging out with my older brother. i was all excited cause i think it was my 13th ellen page movie at the time but i was really mad wen i wasted my time watching the retarded movie wen i could have been hanging out with my bff before she went back to lousiana and i wouldnt get to see her for like 3 to 5 months

14 ellen page movies seen, 3 more to go.

Thanks for the information about your friend moving to another state.
That puts the movie in a totally different light now for me.

What is up with this OP? My viewing partner?!?! WTF is that?!?! Haha. Usually if I watch a movie I watch it with someone that has more description than "viewing partner" such as brother, girlfriend, or simply friend. This person needs friends.

i would not have rented this movie if i knew she was in it. i just didn't take the time to read the description thoroughly.


Why are you taking it out on the movie when the fact that you disliked it is your fault?

ummm, she was on the cover. i suggest opening your eyes next time you go out in public. it might save you another 1.50.

why don't you just go get your 1.48 back?

Don't mince words, tell us how you really feel about it. oh and I think your 1.48 has already been spent on a pack of gum, sorry. maybe you could get half from your "viewing partner". I hope that person has a better handle on their feelings for you so they don't have to be so vague when referring to you. actually, now that I think about it that might be a cool way to ask out a girl. "hi, would you like to be my viewing partner friday night"? "hey, if you're not busy, maybe you'd like to be my viewing partner this weekend"? this could work well for a stay-at-home date but if you wanted to take them to the theater you would have to ask them if they wanted to join your "viewing group". seriously haven't we had enough with "I want my money back", I want my 90 minutes back" blah blah blah. it's all over these boards and its played. when you eat at a restaurant and don't like the food do you not pay or just not eat there anymore? when you shop at the market and don't enjoy your groceries do you get your money back or just not buy them again? when you buy a book and not like it does the bookstore give your money back? Sorry folks, life is about taking chances. I wish the majority of these risks only cost 1.48
