Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
biased_perspective This is quite possibly one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen. The acting, especially by the dad, is absolutely horrific. But my 7 & 11 year old thought it was good (not great). My wife and I cringed so many times that when I started counting after 30 minutes, I lost track by the end of the movie. I cannot believe the high reviews which is why we watched it in the first place. A very LOW budget film. The plot is bad. The acting is bad. The directing is bad. It really is bad. The message in the end, however, is good. And while the pieces fall together, I will add these things. But like I said, my youngest, who laughs when she farts said she thought it was good.
Erica Simonsen I found out about this movie when the writer and executive producer, Marilyn Anderson, posted about the movie in a film industry Facebook group I am also a member of. I knew my son would enjoy it because of the type of film it was regarded to be similar in style to, but I thought I would be groaning silently to myself as I have with other movies he has watched.This was further from the truth. Not only was my son laughing out loud, my husband and I found ourselves genuinely laughing along with him. The actors were great in line delivery without over acting to make the movie cheesy. This is the type of movie we would pay to see in movie theaters. My son has already watched this two more times today since our first viewing last night and as we have 5 more days of rental (Thanks, Amazon!) we will be sure to see it at least a dozen more times this week. Needless to say, when the DVD comes out, we will be purchasing a copy. I highly recommend this to everyone, whether you have kids or not.
Bobby Christopher The acting was bad and the lines were like that of kids (babies') cartoon (maybe worse). It was compared to "home alone" and the "sopranos" but doesn't really deserve to be mentioned with those movies. The plot seemed interesting and the film could have been better but the delivery was awful. That's what spoiled the film for me. It does touch on the theme of anti-bullying (as suggested) but that's about it. I don't think this film should be marketed to anyone over the age of 6 or 7. I was mislead into watching the film (thinking it would be good) because the reviews and the ratings. I would suggest ignoring them for this title. If you do want to watch this movie, don't go in with any expectations.
Mark Thornton I'll admit, this isn't the kind of movie I normally watch, but I ended up really enjoying it. It takes on the subject of bullying without being preachy. I feel like the film makers really added a fresh perspective, and the final product is top tier. This really is one the whole family can enjoy. Kids will get the jokes, and there's enough humor in there with a wink and a nudge that the grown- ups will enjoy, too. The premise of the movie itself is hilarious, and the writing never fails to deliver the laughs. And smart casting choices meant that the actors can actually pull off the punch lines! Perfect for a rainy evening in with the whole family.
