I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
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.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
I wanted to watch this film just because iam a huge fan of jake Tremblay and Naomi watts after seeing them in great films like Room .Shut in and others.i knew i was in for a treat with a great cast but i was amazed how original the plot was and how well directed this piece of work is . i loved how this film has abit of all the genres crossed together to create a compelling story that will stay with you for a long time . i hate to give anything away but this film is way better than you may think and will keep you very entertained yet breathless and touched by every single detail.
I saw some reviews by weirdos( no really, you are one) who would give it a lot of negs because of the plot and how it is too far fetched. I can only shake my head at these so called "reviewers" who would go on and on about nonsense while sitting on their oversized butts and eating burgers.The movie is amazing. Moving and thought provoking. I touches on real things, mixed with a story that is interesting for many. This is it. If you want to know more, just go and watch it. 10/10.
I think most of the bad reviews I have seen are judging the fact that the story is messed up and at times doesn't make a lot of sense. But they're just completely ignoring the fact that this is fiction, it is supposed to entertain, not be "nice" or completely accurate. The camera work, soundtrack, acting, plot twists, the way they tell the story, I thought that was all really well done. Was the actual story weird, well yea it was, it was nothing like I expected, but again, this is fiction people. This was never supposed to be a "family movie" or a film with an inspiring message, it was supposed to entertain and I think it did that very well for me.
This Movie will make you feel all the emotions with the characters. Overall, good movie.
