Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

lesiopiwo I hate when directors treats as as the idiots. If selling popular expensive products was not enough ,she is selling her political propaganda and all this falls far from reality.I am bit sorry for Sarandon, who is like De Niro recently ( choosing horrible movies and all his glory years are almost forgotten as all thees bad movies he made for the last 10 years took over ). This is a sponsored movie, so you have to see the labels and listen to the products which were used.I hate that. I wanted ( and should ) to stop watching after one of the first scenes where she asks a very young black boy , entry lever clerk at the store if he wants to merry her college educated (much older !) daughter as it would be her dream ! Oh, she regrets (!) he is bit too young ...!She is rich New Jersey Italian women!That was her dream! Unfortunately ,I have seen another 20 min by accident...Do not waste your time and if you want to buy Ipad ,iphone or other products do your own research,no need to watch this. I admit, I have only seen it half hour.

SnoopyStyle Marnie (Susan Sarandon) lives an empty life after the death of her husband Joey. His death left her with more money than she needs. She moved from New York to L.A. to be close to her TV writer daughter Lori (Rose Byrne) and her grand-doggies. It's a struggle to fill her days and she is constantly trying to get into Lori's life. She's even going to Lori's therapist. Lori is suffering about her ex Jacob and from Marnie's meddling. Lori travels to New York. Marnie promises to pay for Lori's friend Jillian (Cecily Strong)'s wedding. She gives rides to Freddy from the Apple genius store. She volunteers at the hospital. Zipper (J.K. Simmons) is a retired cop working on a movie set that Marnie accidentally works onto.This actually works better after Lori leaves town. Marnie's adventures are fun. Jillian's wedding feels a little Bridesmaids. There is an overload of funny women but it's fine. Jerrod Carmichael is a fun little appetizer but the main course is J.K. Simmons. I actually missed these characters when Marnie goes to New York. I would rather have an indie about Marnie with Jillian, Freddy, and Zipper. It's a bit depressing without them and I can only take so much.

leonblackwood Review: I don't think that this movie had the appropriate title, because Marnie Minervini (Susan Sarandon), was really sweet to everyone around her, including her daughter Lori (Rose Byrne), even though she finds her annoying. The movie is based on Marnie, who moves near to her daughter after her husband dies, and tries her best to get close to her daughter, who keeps on pushing her away. Marnie even moves close to her daughter but she still finds it hard to connect to her. When Lori gets a job on a film set, far away from home, Marnie decides to make some drastic changes in her life, to keep herself busy while her daughter is away. She uses her husbands money to fund Lori's friends wedding, and she helps a teenager in the Apple store to further his education, by driving him to night school. She also meets Zipper (J.K. Simmons) whilst mistakenly walking onto a film set but she finds it hard to move on from her dead husband. When her daughter finally comes back from her job, a tricky situation brings them closer together, and she helps an old patient in hospital who she has been visiting from time to time. I personally think that the world would be such a nicer place if there was loads of Marnie's in everyone's life's. She really did see the good in every situation, whilst going through an emotional time in her life, and she didn't ask for anything in return. Although this movie had some witty scenes, I did find Marnie's journey entertaining and quite emotional in parts. Sarandon played her role extremely well but the misguiding title will make it seem more like a comedy than an emotional drama. In all, it's a sweet film with some touching moments, that is worth a watch, especially as it's based on real people. Watchable!Round-Up: At 70 years old, Susan Sarandon has proved that she still has it, and her commitment to he roles are professional, and always on point. Rose Byrne, 37, has also proved that she can cover any genre, in comedic roles in the Bad Neighbours franchise and Spy, to horror movies in the Insidious franchise, and the chemistry between Lori and Marnie in this movie was quite believable, especially the bathroom scene. Anyway, this film was directed by Lorene Scafaria, who also made the Steve Carrell comedy, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with Keira Knightley. Although she hasn't had much experience behind the camera, she has worked some decent actors, and it was good to see that this movie made a profit at the box office. Budget: $3.2million Worldwide Gross: $5.4millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/romance/dramas, starring Susan Sarandon, Rose Byrne, J.K. Simmons, Jerrod Carmichael, Cecily Strong, Lucy Punch, Jason Ritter and Michael McKean. 5/10

pointzeropictures-1 I guess this was what they call a "chick-flick". Simply one of the most boring, going- nowhere-meandering, "what's this nonsense about?" movies of all time. Can I please have my 1 hour back I wasted on this so called movie? I'll never get it back... Gave up waiting for something interesting to happen after an hour of total boredom. A depressing movie with plenty of substance abuse, dysfunctional, and immoral relationships.How do these silly movies get made? What a total waste. Susan Sarandon is OK but she is actually in one giant annoying role.Stay away, plenty of other entertaining movies around...
