two hours long funeral
28 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
spoilers alert %%% - This movie is really worthless. A 2 hour long funeral, a wife and mother dying, cheating fights with a dying woman attached on a machine, some postcard hawaiian culture, a non-sense story with the daughter and his friend joining the father going around to announce the death of the dying woman, all very predictable and boring, the only thing worth watching is Shailene Woodley, really beautiful (if you didn't know her already, i didn't). Very sentimental and cheesy, immature people becoming a little more mature and at the end the disturbed family sits down watching TV together, after the dying woman is finally dead. This is the meaning (?!). And the husband suddenly doesn't sell the ancestors land because he's hawaiian and he suddenly feels some hawaiian duty toward his blood... Something like that. It may be original because of how bad, unoriginal, non-sense and yet predictable it is. A 1 star, 2 extra stars for the girl and a couple of funny jokes, not enough for a 2 hours long funeral. Soap opera trashy good feelings and banal characters.

instead of vomiting your hate against life
19 September 2011
i realize people or shows who are hated, are usually pretty good, or at least a lot better that you would expect. i never knew what or who hannah montana was, i heard adam sandler in a movie mention it, and i check out on the internet, i'm a kind out of fashion guy... But a 3 rating for this movie is retarded. you've got comedy, romance, good music, nice girls, Disney may be the devil but they do hire people who know how to do their job. the songs are good pop-rock'n'roll-country songs if you do know anything about music, who cares if they're written by the devil, they're good. anybody who has played in a rock band will agree with that. the movie is also good, nothing new but good, unless you hold a grudge against life. if you do, it's your own fault, get a better life, instead of vomiting your hate on hannah montana.

this is not a movie
25 June 2011
Characters drink like one whiskey per minute (I'm not exaggerating), and nobody gets drunk. Bars are always completely empty but there's always some show on. The main story is nice but it's 10 minutes long. Lots of weird characters, but hey, who cares? What's the point of all this. You can look at Emmanuelle Chriqui, maybe you can get to the end without feeling you have wasted 1 hours 19 minutes. The silly western dance dury the end titles is the best part of the movie. Nice atmosphere and images overall, but I would have preferred watching a movie. I don't know what to say again but I have to continue writing IMDb says. Like writing things using more words makes something better... This policy of IMDb reminds me of this movie, it would have been good if it was a 20 minutes short film.

boring, dull, repetitive
11 April 2011
An original idea for a super boring movie. Two hours and a half of the same story, nothing changes, no surprises, no unexpected events. And the most bothering thing is that characters do not ever have any doubt or emotion. They're just abc cyborg. There is no questioning of life, no mystery, no life in this movie. It's a story without characters, it's a series of events for 2 hours and half. It's kind of difficult to make such a predictable movie with such a strange set up idea. I was able to watch the all movie only because of the ridiculous 8 stars this movie got on IMDb. There is no jokes, no suspense, no nothing, no philosophy, no passion. wtf was this movie about??

unrealistic cliché
8 April 2011
I mean, I know Woody loves cliché characters, but here it's too much... And these cliché are also not-believable. The troubled painter dresses like Dolce & Gabbana fashion style and he's always perfect like he takes 3 shower per day and goes to the hair dresser every week. The artistic girl Scarlet looks like a bimbo when she talks, and she dresses without any kind of style or personality, I mean, did you ever meet a early twenty something years old who writes, direct movies and make pictures, that goes around with that bourgeois style? And Barcelona looks like the stereotype Americans have about Europe. They drink Italian coffé again and again like it's Nescafé. The only true character in the movie is Rebecca Hall. I suppose it's her story, because all others characters are unrealistic. Bardem looks like a zen enlightened master, just to end up fighting like a bitch for who knows what. Most fascinating performance was Penelope Cruz'. But I guess this movie was a success mainly because it talks about threesomes and sapphic sex other than unhappy marriages, and it does it in an open way, which is all good, and I agree with it. But it was kind of disappointing. The old and fascinating passion vs rationality struggle..., but kind of banal. And I mean, NOT A SINGLE (FUNNY) JOKE in the entire movie!! Was this Woody Allen?

really nice movie
2 April 2011
It's maybe the first time IMDb rating is really off. 5 out of 10 is ridiculous. Watch this movie imo, it's not a masterpiece, OK, but it's a fine and very enjoyable movie. And funny, Owen Wilson is really hilarious! Yeah, it's not a 10,it's an 8, but those guys giving one star really piszed me off. Get some sleep instead of going out to watch a movie, that's the reason you fall asleep... Or go watch some explosions, maybe they'll wake you up. Yeah, I like Reese Witherspoon, maybe I was hypnotized by here the whole movie..., who knows. But it's more likey your judgement (you, one star review people) was influenced by the fact that box office was a disater. But please stop with the sheep BS, this is just a romantic comedy, and it's really really underrated. Really nice movie imo. Peace, and thanks to IMDb, a great tool, hopefully i'm not ruining it with this review. Cheers.
