Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

RNMorton I haven't seen this all the way through but I have seen bits and pieces periodically on cable, including repeated viewings of portions. Brody goes on a tour as it were of some past girlfriends and other lovers right before he is scheduled to get married. Why does he do this? What is his purpose? He would have you believe that he wants to make amends for those he harmed along the way, or could it be that he wants a final shot at each? Hard to tell (well for some maybe) but as he goes along, ala The Swimmer, we begin to learn more and more about who he really is. Kristen Bell is also welcome but I thought Zoe Kazan as Reggie was just magical. Nice work.

Larry Silverstein In my opinion, Neil LaBute's latest film just ends up amounting to pretentious babble. He wrote the screenplay, based on his stage play, but the direction here is done by Daisy von Scherler Mayer.Prior to his impending marriage, Adam Brody (he's given no name in the movie) is traveling around the country trying to find and meet with five women from his past that's he's selected. Apparently, he feels he's wronged them in some way and is trying to make sure all can be forgiven and forgotten. He's a teacher and writer, with his latest article, in The New Yorker magazine, on his relationships with women receiving lots of acclaim and even getting him a movie deal.The five women he meets, in order of appearance are Jennifer Morrison, Mia Maestro, Emily Watson, Zoe Kazan, and Kristen Bell. All these actresses are very talented and perform well in their meeting with Brody, with Bell's performance a real stand-out, in my opinion.However, we soon see that these attempted amends by Brody are half-hearted and insincere, not honest attempts like you might find in a 12-step program. The conversations end up being very awkward, talky, at times mean-spirited, and quite pretentious.Very late in the film, we get a twist in the plot that makes the whole film just seem even more seamy and ugly.I would say, although this may work better on stage, it doesn't have the sharp and cohesive dialog to work on screen, and never meshed for me as entertainment. A disappointment from Neil LaBute.

tongueswirlshinebox This is the worst movie I've watched since Dead Cop, which starred Joe Piscopo. The acting was fine so I can't blame any of the actors, they just didn't have anything to work with. The story was non-existent. I agree with the reviewer above. It's a bad knock-off of High Fidelity, except there's no chemistry between the characters (bad casting) and there's no story behind it. Whoever wrote this is probably very self-involved. BTW, the spoiler alert couldn't apply to this movie because absolutely nothing happens. I couldn't ruin this for you if I tried.Don't waste your time, seriously.

potter-randy This film is just an unabashed knockoff of High Fidelity, except the music is less in focus and more like a chick flick. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0146882/you might enjoy it more. High Fidelity follows the 'mid-life' crisis of Rob, a thirty-something record-store owner who must face the undeniable facts - he's growing up. In a hilarious homage to the music scene, Rob and the wacky, offbeat clerks that inhabit his store expound on the intricacies of life and song all the while trying to succeed in their adult relationships. Are they listening to pop music because they are miserable? Or are they miserable because they listen to pop music? This romantic comedy provides a whimsical glimpse into the male view of the affairs of the heart. Written by [email protected]
