Reviews

I'm reviewing cause the mass group of haters are absurd. Is it just cause it aired after a basketball game and you're sports fans, or the ads are annoying or other reasons that end with "ist"?

This show is charming, funny and heartwarming. Nasim Pedrad is insanely talented and her take on a teen boy, who is a great character, is an entertaining ride.

Glad this already got picked up for a second season. Congrats. Much deserved. Look forward to laughing with Chad for many years to come.

1) Jessica Bendinger.

Honestly, I was really disappointed in this. The trailers made it look like it had something new to say, like there would be a new spin or that at least the dialogue would be clever and the gymnastic sequences really hoppin. But alas, the trailer is a trillion times better than the film. What you see is cliché after cliché, horrid directing on the action and the actors. It stands out when you see Wei Wei's (the wacky Asian character that's totally gonna show the world that she's more than just a 'cardboard one dimensional we gotta please the studio by putting in an Asian' character) reactions.

Every line, every joke every reaction felt forced unless it was coming from a) Vanessa Lengies or b) Jeff Bridges, because clearly they're the only two that are or are going to be A list actors and were way too good to be in this flick.

Missy Peregrym is incredible looking, but can't hold the film and really... a bad ass? Come on. Oh, wait, OK, I didn't see her do the devil horns with her hands 60 times, I totally buy it now. Nevermind. My bad.

Speaking of bad writing. I didn't know how old Bendinger was so I tried not to judge, but while watching it, it felt like it was written by a 40yr old white woman who thinks that this is how teenagers talk. Oh and really, what was with the farting in the car? I'm all for a good fart joke when they're funny, but these were out of place and served no purpose to developing (ha) the characters.

OK OK, I'll stop now. So in conclusion, don't waste your money. You may be saying to yourself 'dude, you're not the target audience' This is true, but I dig chick flicks and teen comedies and dance movies. I watched 'Take the Lead' last week and loved it. It was everything this movie wanted to be, the scenes were tight and the dancing was hot. So go see that movie if you like this shite. Thankfully I watched 'Hard Candy' right before I saw this, so my night wasn't a total waste. I'm sure you're happy for me.

alright. seriously. do you guys just like Tim Burton still, cause you still wanna be 'dark' and if you say you don't like something of his then you won't be able to hang out with your 'dark' friends anymore cause they'll call you an optimist? This isn't dark. It's a stereotypical script, where the stakes are too low and it took 3 people to write this? Seriously this guy wrote GO and Big Fish, great movies, but Willy Wonka and Corpse Bride, they didn't need to be told. Who cares?

I would've felt something for the guy if he hadn't just met the woman he was being forced to marry, but why did I care if he married a corpse or not? I didn't. blah. Tim.(we're on a first name basis today, cause I paid to see this flick) Make something good again, remember how much you love great stories, like edward scissorhands and big fish, those are good. these are unnecessary.

Stealing Harvard was mistakenly labeled a comedy, people beware of this, it aint funny. Bruce McCulloch, why can't you make a funny movie? You're a funny guy. Or was it the other kids that made you look that way? And why were Jason Lee and Tom Green sucked into this? Ok... Why was Jason Lee in this? Those two are funny dudes, but I remained straight faced through 98% of this lousy assterpiece.

Ok, I'm going to say it, Freddy Got Fingered was funnier. And that movie is buried under all the other horrible films i've seen. And Peter Tolan, I hope to god you did this for the money, even then it's no excuse, you should be ashamed, but judging by your resume, you're pockets are full from... let me see.. yes, all horrible films. Wait, Analyze This is ok, but that had 2 other writers, one of them being the superb Kenneth Lonnergan, so where I stand you don't get points for that either. Maybe you're a genius or just a really swell guy who got lucky. But I don't know you I know your films, and they blow.

All in all people, don't waste your hard earned money, download it. Even then you're wasting your precious time and hard drive space.

The cliches quickly filled the theatre leaving me no room to sit comfortably, so I left. The war of the two street gangs ( the deuces and the Vipers) begins when the vipers give the deuces youngest brother some bad smack. He dies, the bad guy goes to jail. 3 years later the deuces (led by Dorff) have made it their goal to keep drugs off the block. But now the bad guy's getting out of Jail. And while he's in jail he has to say that he's going to kill the guy who put him in there. Oh my god, really? Because we had absolutely no idea he'd do that.

The movie is filled with on the nose dialogue pointing out things that we already know and are plainly obvious. I didn't care about the characters and nothing mildly interesting happened.

The worst part was the big fight scene where the deuces whip out their knives and chains as we see them slashing the air in slo-mo. Then they rise up over a hill with fog in the background and 80's production music guitar riffs play as they fight the vipers. Both gangs dressed in their leather jackets so we have no idea who's who. I think I vomited in my own mouth. No wait I laughed.

The movie is filled with mostly B actors but they're on the line between A and B,maybe B+ I mean they've done some good flicks, but Matt Dillon should have stayed in his trailer and even Brad Renfro was lame.

I dont know what happens at the end because I left and It's probably some great twist ending, oh wait no, it's probably predictable and cliched.

Oh yeah and Basketball Diaries was 50,000 times better.

I was a bit skeptical going into it because i wanted to love it so much but i just heard Ebert trash the hell of it and him and i usually get along. (Not that we know each other but you know what i mean.) But i pushed his comments aside and went into the film with an open mind and i left with it overflowing. The movie is about fate, coincidences and 'are you really supposed to be with the one you're with?' What could have been a very cheesy story was told with grace and raw human emotion. It was beautiful. I laughed, i cried, i sat on the edge of my seat and by god i was never bored. That in itself is a big deal. Beckinsale and Cusack should get married and adopt me. i definitely recommend it if you're married, single, in love, out of love, looking for love, whatever you are i hope you will at least see 1/10th of what i saw and go home happy. Officially my 2nd favorite Cusack movie.. i think you know my first. take care comb your hair.

This had to be one of the most refreshing movies i've seen in a long time. The characters are so well crafted and this movie hosts one of my new favorite screen moments. When Mark Ruffalo and the little CUlkin are on the stairs, it was unbelievable how realistic it was. if you've seen it you know what i mean. if you havent i think you should.
