Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film isn't good in the slightest. First, the editing is the film is mediocre at best, and makes the movie feel more like a project than an actual film. Second, the story is pretty dumb and pointless considering it does NOT go on a good flow whatsoever. It's a choppy story that goes all over the place and leaves you to wonder "What am I even watching?" Third, the script in this film is okay. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it still feels like it could've been thought about more. I will be honest and say that the acting in this film is actually pretty great, and came off as believable. But good acting isn't going to save this film from its mediocre editing, brainless story, and so-so script. I can't really recommend this film to anyone, as there are much better films than this. This film isn't awful, necessarily, but it sure is appalling.

mmunier Give me Julia Stiles in any sauce and I'll have it. I walked into this movie half way through it at lunch time when I switched on the "box" and there she was, I soon realised I had seen that movie before and loved it. Not well educated or with a very poor memory I always have trouble to associate these with Pygmalion, I probably never read anyway. But I do remember...was it Rex Harrison and the Spanish rain.... Never mind I just enjoyed this plot for what it was. As for Pygmalion, well if it has not existed that story might still be possible, and likable too, why not! It's amazing how people react differently - This guy can't believe it's possible for 2 people so different to fall in love. But one has to realise what people portrait is not necessary who they are, they may have shaped themselves through a variety of influences. However their inner personality remains to emerge... Sometimes I enjoy (in a variety of ways) reading these commentaries as much as watching the movies themselves. I'm not sure why but watching David Walton I thought I was watching Jim Carrey a little more behaved, Oh well! Oh what the story is about? hmmm it's a fairly nice story with a nice ending *SPOILER* Oh again, I should have put this at the front of the sentence. Damn!

LtlHippo I really think this movie is a huge waste of time. Julia was so unlikable in this movie. I kept waiting for her character to redeem herself, to grow, to have some likability but it never happened. There was no chemistry between any of the characters. I hate the way they lied to Elliott in the beginning. I think someone as ambitious as Julia's character was, she would do a little transforming and run for office again. The mom was way over the top. I loved the location though, Boston looks like a wonderful town. The sister was funny. She was the best part of the movie. Make earrings out of your kidneys. LOL So we have the trademark kiss at the end. Even that didn't feel right. Reminded me of the Al and Tipper Gore kiss on stage. We know how THAT story ended. This movie just missed the mark. Sorry.

K S David Walton plays a delightful 'heart of gold' young man with a keen sense for people. Julia Stiles plays a smart, razor-edged-personality politician who lives in her head. She is a judgmental young woman.It amazes me John Gray, the director, was blind to the 'heroine's' lack of character growth. He didn't show her changing despite her being warned by others who love her. That's all the movie needed to make it heart-warming and worth caring about.It makes no sense that Walton's character fell in love with her. Her mean-spiritedness is endless. She doesn't feel others pain at her sarcastic, hurtful comments or their hurts and losses. She never truly apologizes. It's a disheartening movie, in that a wonderful, talented young man attaches himself to a smart, driven woman who lacks empathy and emotional self-awareness. I found it a downer to watch.Julia Stiles deserved a better vehicle for her acting talent and she ought to have fought for a more teachable, lovable character. Walton ought to have demanded that, too, for his own character's sake. Camryn Manheim, too, was funny, played a good friend to Stiles, but didn't demand enough change, either. A waste of a decent plot.
