Sorry, this movie sucks

How sad is this?

Don't listen to the negative reviews

(Sorry for my bad English) First of all, I think this movie is so underrated, it deserves at least 8 stars. Elijah Wood, Franka Potente and Mandy Moore with Chris Martin does excellent acting in this film.I'm surprised that i haven't heard about this movie before 'cause it's very good and heartwarming It has great script very good actors and it's most original romantic comedy i've seen for years. It's kind of movie that you wouldn't want to end I don't know what to write about...you just have to see it yourself. If you like romantic comedies this is just for you. It's romantic and it has just right amount of humor in it. Like some other movies this doesn't try too hard and that makes it better than most of movies that try to be more funny that they really are

Just like Orange County, this movie is about finding oneself at one of the most confusing and influential time of one life at seventeen at as the freshman. A story of the boy drop out of collage on the first day to find something else in life, that is until he rent an apartment and befriend with the strange neighbors.I say the movie will be very much enjoying by any body and some of them may even love it. Though the movie is quite slow, it is still flawless and thus did deliver pretty good amount of satisfaction. Overall, it is a good movie (though the movie lacks of some good moments to remember it by) and is recommended, especially Elijah fans.Reason To Watch: · Just the cast alone (Elijah, Mandy and Franka.) would already sell this movie.Reason Not To: · Weird to see Elijah and Franka together, · No Goods Kodak Moments, · Nothing much in the movie.Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: C+)

Try Seventeen, or the title I bought the movie under, All I Want (I like try seventeen better) is a misunderstood story. I originally bought this movie because of Elijah Wood (he's very cute). I was seventeen at the time, and I totally understood this movie. It's about a boy trying to cope with life as he knows it. He tries to escape by pretending and lying about things, and not only to other people, but to himself. He put himself in imaginative situations where he would be the hero and everything would work out for him as he wanted it to. Oddly enough, I found myself daydreaming the same kind of scenerios, and I still often do. SO no, this movie isn't for everyone, but it is a very understandable storie if you open your mind to it. I related to it very well because I was sort of the same. So don't be close-minded about movies such as this!

Most romantic comedies seems to be cut out of the same mold lately. A recent example of a mediocre one is 'Raising Helen', with some refreshing moments, but mostly an uninteresting treatment of 'boy meets girl'. This one is very different. Caught somewhere between a comedy and a drama, overall it is more funny than serious, but with a few serious moments. Unpredictable characters, interesting situations, make for interesting viewing. Elijah Woods, that cute little guy, is destined for a career that parallels the one Michael J Fox has had. Mandy Moore continues to show why she has become one of the better young actresses, seemingly able to play any type of role. Franka Potente is fine, but I wonder why she was cast. I like her, she was great in 'Run Lola Run', but with her obvious German accent, which was never explained in the movie, she doesn't seem to be a logical choice. But in the end, hers was a very nice character.SPOILERS FOLLOW, quit reading, OK? Woods plays a 'Jones' (first name), a 17 year old boy from a family of wealth, off to college, financed by grandpa, but "withdraws" his first day when he meets his skinhead roommate from hell. So he finds a small apartment in a converted 3-story house, other tenants are Moore and Potente. Writes a check for $12,000 to cover the year lease amount. He was highly inexperienced in the ways of the world. Oh, and by the way, is still a virgin. Moore is an actress, Potente a photographer. Woods writes letters to his dad he never knew, but instead of mailing them puts them in his large trunk, because he doesn't know who his father is. The fourth tenant is a nice gay man who has guns and a motorcycle, and helps Jones learn some new skills. Jones and the photographer develop an attraction, but it is obvious that she, a somewhat older woman, just wants a friendship. In the end, after a wreck avoiding a deer at night, Jones drives her 2000 miles to be with her cad of an old boyfriend. Jones tries to talk her out of it, but leaves anyway. Growing up, learning the ways of life, he confronts his phobias, comes to grips with not ever meeting his father, and as the movie ends we see Potente coming back, to give Jones a go because he is a genuine, decent guy.
