Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

gavin6942 Jackie, a secretary in a legal firm, invites Michael, a paralegal in her office, over for a dinner date. The film follows the course of their evening as the two manage to surprise each other with hidden, unexpected twists of character.In many ways, this is not unlike Richard Linklater's "Before" trilogy, because it amounts to basically a couple in conversation for 90 minutes. The key difference, however, is that Linklater utilized some great locations. Noonan adapted the film from a stage play, and this is quite evident... it could easily be shot in one room, whether it be an apartment, a library, or pretty much anywhere.The writing is good and the acting is strong, but the film itself is just alright. It never really rises above the stage play, and it seems a shame to translate something from a play to a film without making the necessary adjustments.

appc I can't say if it is a good or bad movie, but what I believe is that it is a real life movie: I must know it, it describes what many of us have lived in real life, actually, it is a mirror image of many lives. I do not mean by that I am some dysfunctional guy, but everybody has a little of that. You should watch it; it is possible that you may find yourself re-living some personal experience. It is not a typical Hollywood movie, it is a rather practical and real life experience that as you watch you begin feeling as if some knew about you and made it a movie. I watched this movie with my wife and she kept on joking about how similar the story was with our first dates.

deanyang After the first twenty minutes of this movie, I was almost ready to turn it off. My fiancee, who was watching with me, fell asleep at about that point. I couldn't imagine that the painful and uncomfortable interactions of the two main characters on their first date could turn into anything vaguely interesting.But I was very glad that I stayed with it. Both main characters aren't what they first seem to be. It's rare to have one's perception of characters change so dramatically--yet credibly--in the course of single movie. I was intrigued, entranced, beguiled.Definitely a worthwhile rental for the thinking movie buff.

mifunesamurai Two office Co-workers do dinner and play with each other's insecurities and paranoia . A very theatrical piece saved by a witty script and unusual situations. Watching this makes you feel rather uncomfortable because of the high tensed atmosphere of uncertainty and discomfort created by the two only actors who occupy the entire film with great success.
