Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
imavegan2 This movie is worth 7 as a movie, and I'm giving it an extra 1 just for Tyler Ross.I don't know how other people perceive this movie, but to me it's a movie about a real friendship, a friendship just like a real love doesn't know age, race etc limits.And also this movie is about not giving up and pursuing your dreams at any age.As I said I was giving an extra 1 point just for Tyler Ross, he is a good actor and played very well in this movie.That's it, there is not much to say about this film, dialogues are good except for 1 or 2, and this movie could have been a lot better with the right music choice.
Hovis100 Nate and Margaret My sister and I watched "Nate and Margaret" after reading several positive reviews. Reviewers generally regarded the movie as a quirky, sweet friendship film. WARNING: We found "Nate and Margaret" to be one of the worst, most self-indulgent movies we have ever seen. After watching one-third of it we wanted to stop but were compelled to see how much worse it could get, and it did. It had no charm, poor acting and the Margaret character was extremely unsympathetic and irritating. The relationship made no sense -- why were they 'best friends'? What was Nate's fascination with dour Margaret? Her attempts at humor (comedian?) were excruciatingly embarrassing. Why did the heckling turn into laughter when her routine hadn't improved? Why did the manager want to promote such a losing act? Why was he attracted to her? Did we mention how bad the acting is?Nate's first gay love, James, is extremely unattractive. Although we are positive to the gay agenda, there was an over attempt at "political correctness", inserting gay characters (such as lesbian neighbors awaiting a baby) unnecessarily. Did we mention how bad the acting is?All of the characters were trite, stereotypical unauthentic and superficial.Did we mention how bad the acting is?This movie had no charm or love in it. Nothing interesting happened in the entire film. We cannot understand any of the positive reviews. The movie is a complete waste of time. In fact, you may be wondering why we are wasting our time writing this review. We are too! If it hadn't been so bad we wouldn't be.Did we mention how bad the acting is?Summary: "Nate and Margaret" was irritating and annoying. Rating: 0.00 stars
chamberlain2007 While not a comedy, this movie is a prime example of a relationship in which neither person is doing the other a favour. That is, I expected a movie where a cute guy is nice to an old lady and is an obvious tear jerker. In reality, I got a movie which was expressive, fulfilling, and not at all expected. I didn't feel sorry for either character. I empathized, and boy did it hurt. It was a tear jerker, but in it's genuineness. Honestly one of the best films I've seen in quite some time.I strongly recommend watching this film, but prepare yourself. Or rather, leave your preconceived notions at the door. Don't expect a witty comedy. Don't expect a chick flick. This film is raw, fresh and smart, but definitely not a blockbuster. And I wouldn't want it to be.
runamokprods Sweet, good hearted little indie about the unlikely close friendship between at 19 year old gay wanna-be film-maker and his neighbor, a 52 year old wanna be stand up comedian. While there are rough spots – the low budget shows through, not all the acting is everything it might be, some plot twists are either obvious or a bit of a stretch – this film deserves lots of credit for dealing with something as delicate and complex as friendship. There are obvious parallels to the great "Harold and Maude" (especially when a folky singer who sounds a bit like Cat Stevens starts singing under the opening scene), but really the two films are very different. "Harold and Maude" was both far more farcical and more tragic, and dealt with romance. This film is quieter and smaller, dealing with the subtle humor and sadness of day to day life. A simple, lovely effort.
