InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

vchimpanzee In New York City, John is getting old but won't admit it, and he is determined to play handball against Paco. But that one last game is too much for him and he falls over dead.John's family not only has to deal with the loss, but also the realization that his business was in trouble and the family is broke. Everyone will have to take a job to keep the family from losing the house. Son Henry wants to be the breadwinner so his mother Grace will not have to work, but he is in nursing school. Education will have to wait.Henry's Uncle Colin works as a doorman at 1500 5th Avenue, so he gets Henry a job as a doorman. George, the supervisor, is very demanding and expects Henry to do everything right. This means no relationships with the tenants, but treat them nice. Still, after Henry starts work, Henry and Scarlett notice each other right away.Henry works alongside Raul, who does as little as he can get away with, and he seems to date a lot of women. Ultimately he shows he cares.There are a couple of funny scenes involving an unsupervised kid with money and a pair of hookers. Henry should have been more careful.Henry develops a relationship with Scarlett as he makes deliveries to the penthouse apartment. Even though she has a boyfriend, Buck is a rich drunk. At Scarlett's birthday party, Henry even gets called on to use his nursing skills to save a life. And it's not the only time his nursing skills get used: a gay couple has a dog who gets away from them and almost dies.When Scarlett's mother finds out about Henry, she is not happy. Her husband Phillip, though, is more accepting.So will this Romeo and Juliet romance work out? Sarah Roemer is so pretty and easy to like. She's just perfect for the role of Scarlett. And the character is very patient and accepting of others who are different.On the other hand, Mimi Rogers does what she does best: a conceited but not necessarily mean rich person who wants only the best for her daughter.Joseph Cross makes a very good lead. He's easy to like and very determined.Annette O'Toole does a very good job as Henry's mother. Those who know her as the all-American mother of Clark Kent may not be pleased at what she ends up doing, but she is still very much like what she was on "Smallville". Only with a New Yawk accent.Rachael Leigh Cook is tough and independent and won't take attitude from anyone. I didn't like her as Henry's sister but she is very good.Whether you like him or not, Joe Pantoliano does show talent here.Snoop Dogg is also quite good.It's a pleasant romantic comedy.

charlytully . . . but this movie does not tell the REST of the story, unlike the late radio commentator Paul Harvey. For anyone exposed to GREASE's "Beauty School Drop-Out," Joseph Cross's characterization of nursing school refugee Henry O'Shea from Flatbush may ring a bell. This movie tries to prove that an Elizabeth Taylor/Larry Fortensky coupling is the rule rather than the exception for the social mores governing American class mobility. (Don't forget, Larry was Liz's 8th hubbie--NOT her first, and she was playing a cougar card to get him. )To add injury to this insult of our taken-for-granted cinematic suspension of disbelief, nerdy and broke Henry's crush--Scarlett Dowling (played by Sarah Roemer) not only is rich, but also a looker. If Scarlett resembled Gwyneth Paltrow from her fat suit scenes in SHALLOW HAL, perhaps there would be a smidgen of plausibility to FALLING UP. But the movie implies that if a young socialite's handsome rich lover is enough of a drunken druggie, the addition of coke to the love connection will transform him from an adorable ARTHUR to a 30 DAYS OF NIGHT-type vampire in the eyes of his lady love. Ergo, this will drive the wealthy young lady in question into the arms of the first guy she rubs elbows with, whether a bumbling nerd (or perhaps the toothless bum on the park bench, whom Henry beats out by a matter of minutes). Perhaps the makers of FALLING UP realized that was why they should quit while they were ahead, well before any wedding bells ring. Staging a wedding between Scarlett's blue-nose Dowlings and Henry's porn shopper O'Shea clan may well have induced stretched credulity fatalities among susceptible viewers.

mynameisdrj And I quote from a review from a above "Personally, I had seen the trailer before seeing this, so I had a general idea of what to expect - and the film pretty much delivered on that. The whole film has a light feel, and being generally predictable throughout, you're never really in any doubt about the final outcome of... well, everything." End quote.In my opinion this is Complete rubbish this film was one of a kind. And not all films are to be thrillers. They are all not supposed to be non-suspecting of the end, some films are easier to read than others, Reviewing the Sixth-Sense I doubt you expected that Mel was dead or how about Orphan that young girl was not a older woman. In real life that young girl was portrayed as a older woman portraying a young girl, these are movies that you should rate the thrill and suspension on and definitely do not rate trailers. Young aspiring directors put them together for practice. You should know that the real Directors do not make them unless it's some over budget movie where major actors and actresses are starring, then they budget for sequence's of things that could happen in the movie, that never appear in the film but are used to bring in the audiences. "Falling Up" was a refreshing mid-twenties college flick, they depict a honest genuine young man. It was a good movie. A movie that morally shows what a real man should be in this day in age and this is coming from a 24 year old man white male out of a lower middle class, that has not been emerged in the moral circumspect that most have innately been inherited but a realization of what a real man is to me, was defined while watching "Falling Up" And in addition Men feel like they have to be a chieftain or, controllers or they aren't real Men, when in fact over 40% of men Are and Stay Obedient to there spouse. Because a real Man for 1-Listen's for 2-Compromise's and for 3-Keeps Quite when there is an issue that is of a importance to there partner. Under 60% of men Are not EVER obedient! are not ever 'Let alone' Stay obedient to there partners. The men that think that they are Man. They can not Listen, Compromise or, Keep Quite they are not men and this all goes back to what are founding Fathers and ancestor marked and deemed what makes men, "A Man!" And it is simple they are not strong enough nor, are they intelligent enough for self restraint. To not need to hear themselves speak, and to listen to someone else. To be strong enough to devour deliberate dexterous and, sagacious comments and to acquiesce when told to, to contravene what they have to say; despite what they believe in, and without contemplation of what is, what. To have a inclination that is unmitigated from the anterior of the categorical countenance. To be strong enough(or Man enough haha) to not get what they want. To realize in life, life itself should be the object; and the only object of your desire. Material objects have no importance or significance. To negotiate; To compromise with what someone else needs/or wants. It is hard to give up the gift of your needs/or wants; to give up a piece of your happiness; to a stranger, No it's not giving up your happiness; it is distributing it. It is more sacred than sharing the divine holy spirit, Empathy a Human gift for women and men alike to share with each other. Empathy separates us from the beasts, so find and use empathy more to separate us from them. Compromise to complect everything. And finally to be a real Man's Man not just one of the men but a Man that is worthy. The power to Keep Quite, to find the strength in silence, many can say they have the aptitude to remain quite but they say it with there words. Most that can find this sovereign state will never break there censorship for you if what your saying matters to you. And with unprejudice opinions. Not necessarily homogeneous in thought but despite the most heinous of times, thoughts or, disagreements To Be and Keep Quite. That is what being a Man is to me.NOW! I suppose like Mother always said Keep Quite unless you have something important to say it actually meant something. It was one of the three golden rules not to just getting along in life, but with women; and also a key to being a Real Man. A HuMan -Daniel Robles- of Portland Oregon

tjdercks A guys father dies, so he has to quit school and get a job to support his mother .. so far so good.His uncle gets him a job as a Doorman. The rules are simple ... don't let people in the building who do not belong, do not fraternize with the Tenants, do not sleep on the job, do not eat on the job, do not follow the bad behavior of other Doormen, do not touch anyone, do not use the front door.The first night on the job ... he basically breaks all of the rules, and also fumbles through a young woman's personal items while making a delivery to her bedroom (creepy!). Over the next few days, he continues to screw up, and is warned repeatedly to stop fraternizing by his Manager. He continues to break the rules, and is fired.Now we are supposed to feel sorry for him, because he lost his job for flirting ... but I feel sorry for his Uncle who vouched for him to get him that job, that he clearly had no respect for, and now his Uncle looks like a jerk. We also see him getting tips for things he did not do, and not giving them to the people who did them (e.g. Snoop helps a family leave for a vacation, and the guy give the tip to the Lead, and the Lead pockets it, and does not give it to Snoop. He does the same thing with a flower delivery guy).There is a scene where a dog gets killed in an elevator accident (which should have beheaded the dog) ... he saves it by giving it mouth-to-mouth? ... but when a homosexual kisses him to thank him, he wipes his face and is repulsed. It was inappropriate for the guy to kiss him on the lips ... but the scene just comes across as Homophobic.In numerous scenes, what the Lead does is creepy ... a Janitor is sleeping, and he puts his hand on the Janitor's chest and puts his ear by his mouth ... the Janitor wakes up and freaks out, that some stranger is touching him (as would most people). The Lead then tells him he is a nurse and the Janitor has breathing problems ... and then walks away (what a HEAD GAME!) Then there is a scene were his Nursing School Dean asks him to hand her a plastic model of a vagina, and he hands her the rectum instead (a seriously bad Nurse) ... but he makes a freaked out face when touching the plastic vagina (and later does the same with plastic testicles)? If plastic body parts freak him out ... do not be a nurse. The real ones are much scarier ... LOLWhen two Prostitutes show up to service a 12 year old boy, that he had promised to watch out for while the child's parents were away ... he does not freak out and lets them up?!?! ... but when their Pimp shows up, he lets him in the Lobby ... LOL. This guy is supposed to be from Brooklyn, not Kansas.Snoop, the Lead's mother and scenes of NYC are the only reason to see this ... otherwise the story sucks, the work ethic is worse, and the romance is unbelievable.
