[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s weird and sad, but I thought it was okay. [/quote]

The acting= great
Writing = great
Plot = great

It was good, not great.

Nobody is watching this movie again and again, and rewatching is the mark of a great film.

The plot was different/interesting, but you could see where it was going.

And the lead actor basically made the movie as a vehicle for himself, and he basically played himself (not a lot of real acting going on). The other lead actor was actually very good.

It did tug on the heartstrings (eventually). I think it would have been a much better film had they included more comedic moments. [/quote]

I’m halfway through. I almost never rewatch a movie unless it’s decades old and replaying, then I might have it on in the background while cleaning (Shawshank, type). So I don’t use the rewatching standard for myself because then I would almost never say a movie is “great.”

At halfway through, I love it! I don’t want more comedy in it. It’s about people in mourning (so far) for various reasons. And I don’t understand why the actor’s reason for writing the screenplay or an actor playing someone who is like himself impacts the enjoyment (or not) of the show.

We all have different tastes, though!

Rotten tomatoes closely tracks what I like most of the time. Is it more spotty for you?[/quote]

Finish the movie and then post back.

I thought the first half was a lot better than the second half.

The promos billed it as more of a comedy/drama (essentially focusing on the lone mildly-funny scene), basically false advertising. It’s a dark movie, but not a black comedy.

The actor who made the film isn’t really acting. He’s just saying the lines the wrote in his everyday voice. That’s not great acting. The other lead however does a very good job.

Like I said, it’s good…different. I felt sorry for the main character but somewhere along the way I just found him pathetic, selfish, and a touch psycho. I tend to prefer movies where at least some of the characters are likeable and more compelling. [/quote]
