Finding Amanda Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
dcw-12 This film that takes the mickey out of the depravity in Las Vegas ends up making $50,000 its opening weekend and no movie theater companies take it. I'm not big on conspiracy theories but you figure it out. There was a time when Hollywood films weaved in human themes with the entertainment and this film hearkens back to those days. Wow I made the film sound incredibly boring but the opposite is true. When the very human and flawed characters resonate then things in the film become much sweeter.The scenes between the Casino boss and Matthew Broderick are especially well done and funny. Not fall down funny but very skillfully written and acted. Also unexpected events pop out of nowhere in the film and keep you on your feet and things interesting. And they didn't need barnyard animals wandering around a hotel room to achieve that effect.Just a very skillfully created and acted comedy/drama that just might change a few peoples opinions on a few things.Very sweet film.
Nick Damian I've been watching movies all week - actually 2 weeks straight now and I've been doing so many reviews I don't know what to write anymore.It's a watchable film, good performances from all and overall a good script.To me, it's the little bit players that make up this movie. Not because the leads aren't good - they are good.But it's the smaller roles on this that make up this movie.All the story turns fill in nice and the dialog is a little bit harsh, but nothing that a grade 6 hasn't heard before.I do not recommend it for family viewing though - unless your kids are hookers themselves.
extremefilm Despite what many have said... the plot was pointless and predictable, the acting was terrible (especially Broderick) and none of it was original or very funny. This film deserves much less of my time than this. I have to have 10 lines of text to submit this, so I will tell you that this is my first comment on IMDb despite looking at the site and reading reviews a few times a week for the past couple of years. I felt strongly enough about how bad this film was that I finally created an account to spread the word.I regret watching the whole thing. Please don't make the same mistake. I hope that I can save at least one person from watching it by posting this comment... my joy will be full if I succeed and I will feel redemption.
marc-rosenberg You can't not like Matthew Broderick, no matter how despicable his behavior is. One of my favorite American actors ("Election", "You Can Count On Me", etc). He always commits and is always believable. Brittiny Snow is a face you recognize but it's hard to place. She's wonderful and I'll always remember her now. The other actors are used economically and help move the plot, but the focus is certainly on the relationship between Broaderick and Snow. With Las Vegas as the backdrop there's plenty to look at and appreciate. The story is surprising without being too contrived. A quirky, very entertaining film. It's not a big screen release, and because of the content will die a slow death on cable.
