That was an excellent one.

Must See Movie...

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I started watching this film more because I had to than because I wanted to. I was fully aware that I may not like it. I can usually tolerate even watching terrible stuff like the new Bladerunner, when there is a good reason.But this time, around 60 min mark, I had to stop. This film was hurting my brain, and burning holes in it. Why, you ask? Oh boy, where do I start. Let's see: A brother who jokes about oral sex (they used much more crude language in the scene however) with his brother during dinner with their mother present. That was supposed to be funny.An alienated looser of a drug salesman who has not a trace of humanity in him, falls in love with a girl who has no personality, other than her Parkinson. And I am supposed to care?Dialogues which confuse swearing with meaning. Crude and dumb to no end.Any time those things (bad dialogues, untenable relationship) fall apart, we get a sex scene, which is even worse. Sex is uninspired, loveless, crude, unfunny, uncaring, and all too logical/brainy to be interesting. It is what a teenager who never had sex imagines sex scenes should be like. Oh, and she does not want him back, and he falls for her even more, just like that. Bring that gawd-awful brother back!Jake G. and Anne H. were quite good, but good acting does not a good film make, especially not when the script is awful. They should have rejected those roles. I bet this film did not look any better on paper either.You get the idea. The film or script was made by people who have no interest or ability to understand human condition. They have the finesse of a nuclear weapon, and artistic flair of "paint by numbers" book. The result is this horror.Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and watch Miley Cirus to detox from this crap.

What a trashy love story. Gives audience false expectations about love. The fact that this has gotten 2 Golden Globe nominations says that something is wrong with American film industry. Are there no better movies for us to watch? As handsome and good at acting Jake Gyllenhaal still is, I am very disappointed in him after watching this (Anne Hathaway too, why, why??!!). A quarter of my love for him has died. R.I.P. (it's now in the trash area in my macbook along with this movie). But I won't give this movie a '1' because it has some positive aspects such as giving people with Parkinson's disease hope. I'm giving a generous '4' because Jake and Anne were still very good at acting, as per usual.

Reviewed May 2010The core story is of an ambitious medical rep Jamie (Gyllenhaal) starts a relationship with a stage 1 Parkinson's disease affected Maggie (Hathaway). Maggie is too proud to let anyone take care of her, so she doesn't commit to a relationship with anyone. They both start off as just F-Buddies, but couldn't ignore what's building up. This was one film where I have seen Jake Gyllenhaal to be totally comfortable with his role. We have seen similar characters portraying a similar relationship scenario in the past, what's the difference is this film goes for broke for most part of the movie. Some jokes made me feel that either Seth Rogen or Judd Apatow were part of this project. It justifies it's adult tag for most part but chickens out in the climax to finish off trying to be a crowd pleaser. It didn't gel with the tone of the characters until then. It is a well acted and well intentioned movie, but was in a dilemma whether to please the crowd or the critics. Finally falls little short on both accounts.

It is sad day for fans of Jake Gylenhall: to see such a good actor in a typical Hollywood syphilitic piece of "cinema"This picture is full of clichés with addition of old and low jokes. Let us be honest here: it is simply quite vulgar. And while being vulgar does not automatically mean that a comedy has to be bad, in this case all this vulgarity serves as a cheap paint over a poor executed material. Because the subject (the attempt of turning cinema goers attention to a dreadful disease of Parkinson) is made in such a way, that doctor James Parkinson must be now turning in his graveDo not waste time on this "romantic" "comedy". This picture has very little romance; this picture is almost completely not funny. This picture is simply boringOne would have to be a complete simpleton to enjoy this thing (that should not be called "movie" nor a "piece of cinema")
