Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

candiceloves Aside from some of the errors already pointed out (like about the DNA, cloning process, red blood cells...etc), I thought the movie was overall pretty decent.The acting was OK, and even though our lovely lead/executive producer was a bit "overweight" by Hollywood standards, I thought it gave it a more "real" effect.This is one of those movies where I wish they had explained things a little better so it would make sense because this isn't the kind of film that I'll want to watch again to get all the Jesus references.The little boy David, portrayed by Rocko Hale was done very well. I have a thing against child actors who cannot act but he did a very good job. I do wonder who's son he is or who he's connected to get a lead role.The ending had me questioning if he was good or evil but since it has since been re-released under the title "Devil's Angel", I guess I have my answer.I say watch it if you want some cheesy B style scary movie thrills! Not as good as Insideous but not as bad as what these reviews might make you think!

nutz4you60 First off, I'm always the type to push myself to watch every movie through to it's end, some will surprise you and the ending will make it all worth it. Sometimes. But not in the case of this movie. As many have already mentioned there are numerous factual errors that will make even the most polite and grounded viewers roll their eyes. The acting is soap opera bad. Something's up and the character will give that 'who farted' stare. Honestly, the child is probably the best actor in this movie. The movie jumps '7 years' into the future with hardly any explanation as to what's going on. You realize it's the end of times but wouldn't a story of how we have gotten to that point been more interesting than watching s guy tell his sister and niece they have to ask the lord for forgiveness? I won't lie and say the plot of the movie has some promise but that promise is translated into a wreck of a movie with acting that will make you laugh. I've seen kids fake cough with more convincing execution. Bad movie but if you have nothing better to do than gouge your eyes out with spoons take this turd for a drive.

Kathy Weldon The film begins very soft and clean with a female hero who is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve her dream of being a mother while ironically being a fertility specialist. The first part of the film is quite typical, very smooth and simple with good looking people in good looking apartments with nice jobs, cars and all thing things you'd expect from a rom-com, but not funny. But then, once our hero makes a fatal mis-step, the world is thrown in to chaos.A crude graphic comes on screen and we're suddenly pushed "Seven years later," and we jump from sitcom to disaster film. The jump is huge and might throw some viewers off track, but after seeing the film for a second time (and the benefit of research), it is clear now what Juares and Schneider set out to do. The problem is that the film doesn't telegraph it with "Hey, this is a movie based on Revelations," and the sudden theological references require some thinking form the audience that wasn't asked of them in the first act. The break in the film makes it feel like two separate films and based on how deliberate the filmmakers were in setting it all up, is clearly intentional and with purpose. I found myself, the first time I viewed the film, having to quickly readjusted my expectations and get in to the world that was suddenly dropped on top of me.The picture then follows, quite carefully, the theological breakdown of the world as told in the Book of Revelations (or the "Apocalypse" for you Catholic folks). Sores start appearing on some characters, not all, which seem to represent the "mark of the Devil," the Rapture is easily identified in a sort of "Left Behind" treatment of the phenomenon, and despite the last two thirds of the film playing out in confined rooms no larger than your typical 2-car garage, it's engaging. The film is a bit overwrought with symbolism and metaphors that will just fly over the head of the average movie-goer, but that's right in line with the Book of Revelations itself which features purple-headed dragons and whores of Babylon (by the way it's also quite obvious that the USA = Babylon in the film which I found particularity well done).Overall this film is about arrogance and the consequences of doing what you know you shouldn't no matter how bad you want it. Seems simple enough, right? There are only a few signs of "low-budget" film-making during the entire 90 minute show, but nothing that stands out as ridiculous or absurd with exception to a scene where a doctor listens to "Ave Maria" while cutting up one of his creations with an Exacto blade. Overall the piece was well constructed and the filmmakers certainly shot for the moon in their first efforts to make a splash. The skills of the film making team are clearly substantial and they should get a pat on the back for trying to do something so large and complex the first time out.

Anonymous_AAO I saw the film at a screening where the director was in attendance and I understand the film has not been released yet, I'm very curious how it will resonate with audiences, but here's my take on it; First off, if you're offended by mad scientists destroying human fetuses, abuse of Mexican immigrants or the human cloning process in general, you will be fired up by this film.I'll be surprised if this film doesn't end up getting some very negative attention from special-interest groups. That being said, the film didn't have even one bit of profanity, nudity or on-camera violence. Vaughn Juares, the film's director, was in attendance at a small screening I attended and in a Q&A after the film Juares stated that "Man Made" was based on the Biblical Book of Revelations. Seeing the film without that reference I didn't pick up on that right away, but I'm also not a Bible-nut.The film was done with a "Hitchcock-like" approach with off-camera violence and the use of graphic sounds to get the point across. I'm not sure if that's because of Juares' creative vision or if budget constraints played a greater role in defining his approach (Juares mentioned that the film had a very tight budget which was NOT obvious when watching the film - besides no stars in the movie, it looked like a real Hollywood production)."Man Made" is very engaging, it pushes a lot of buttons and it has the potential to start a really heated public discussion.I recommend "Man Made" to anyone who's worried about where the world might be headed.
