AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

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

barrylyman I don't know why I waited so long to see this film. Maybe the studio didn't do as much to promote this as it deserved.A wonderfully told and supremely acted version of the flip-side to the coin of male angst in our 30's and 40's.The casting was brilliant and every single actor gave what you'd except from their previous efforts. Cameron Diaz, though was an exception. Her portrayal of Amy's sister was a remarkable and well-delivered effort.I would recommend this film as a must see - for both women who are looking for the loves of their life, as well as men who don't realize they're out there. Also hoping to stumble on the perfect match.

thladikjr-1 I really wish that the "lack" of in your face drama that everyone acknowledges, highlights, and finds to be so refreshing could be understated, as it's obvious to anyone who finds this film. We have to look past that and into frankly, well, why was that refreshing; don't tell me it's because well, "you really don't see that often?" So then: the scenes for me are Glenn Close and her professional attempts to reach her lover; and all the unprofessional waiting, crying, and looking to tarot cards for fun/help. Now I find the subtlety here: in her facial changes as Calista Flockheart slowly begins to ID her too accurately. She has such easy, confident, and sincerely a little arrogant, disbelief in the first few expected "insights", e.g. she tells her, "You're not happy." But slowly her slight grin becomes forced and then gone as she is there, more and more exposed; to an eventual moment of real quiet desperation as she tries to convince Flockhearts character that she may be "unsure" that the predicted "man that is about to enter her life" isn't the one she's been trying to reach at work. It was only a few lines: she tries to link the prediction with the situation by explaining the man at work is also younger... "(By) a few years." And after she literally closes the door on her fortune teller, she sits internalizing, seeing for that moment, her fear. Of her approaching age in the tiny steps taken by her withered and helpless mother, her desperation in who's calling as the phone rings; but she does not answer that call, she sits, and in realization of the emotional plane crash that is herself, and that she is so lost at, and in, that moment: the things you can tell by looking at her. And I love the fact that there are no answers for her or for us as the scene ends, very "too real." And man, very "in your face."

Gary Murphy There is a lot good about this movie. The acting is exceptional by all, especially the leading women. The direction is well done. I thought the pace of the film was good. For a character-driven movie, the pace was right on, but perhaps a little slow for the MTV generation.The plot was OK, but the characters didn't have much of an arc. We got to see a slice of their lives, but we didn't see a lot of evolution in the characters. I had expected some sort of climax where we got to see an intersection in these people's lives that was more profound than the superficial interactions that we got to see.While I found it to be an OK movie, I was a little disappointed and unfulfilled. There was a potential here for a substantially better film.

Beth Mell The movie is horrible. Yesterday I saw Hitch and today, when my friend wanted to see Things... I said, "Well at least it can't be worse than Hitch". I was very wrong. The situations are life-like but played too over-dramatic. The relationship between, umm, Rose and Jay I think (I was falling asleep through some of it) was completely disturbing. Me being a 15 year old I KNOW that the sort of experience he was talking about was very far off--it have made more sense if he was at least 2 years older. And the whole son-mother relationship was just plain creepy, I mean even if he did have sex with a girl, there is no way that he would be that open and happy about it with his mom! These are just simple principals of teen-hood, and I suggest that if the writer has a kid he/she will be pretty disappointed to find that his/her son or daughter will most likely not be as "open" as they tried to make Jay be. And whats with the smelling of the breath....come on! At least play the part with the age! Do you want him to be 17 or 2? The part where Rebecca is walking and crying is just plain weird....I wouldn't know as I have never gotten an abortion seeing as how most sensible 15 year olds haven't had sex!!! I didn't get past the Dwarf part, since I was so bored and disgusted that I gladly pushed the off button and did some fist pumps in triumph. I would seriously recommend not to watch this movie, since it has scarred me for life and taken away an hour of my time that i will never get back. The only good part in the movie was in the beginning with that lady that committed suicide. I can understand why--if I was in a movie that was as bad as this, I would try to get out in any way i could too.
