Load of rubbish!!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Six degrees of separationSo there's this guy. He is just right. Then he goes to this couple's house and cooks them dinner and they all have a nice talk about art and books. Ian McClellan is there and he is trying to be South African but knows his accent is bad so doesn't say much. Then it is morning and the woman finds the nice guy bumming a stranger in the bedroom. Then everyone flips out and Donald Sutherland picks up all his trinkets.Then the next hour of the film is the couple telling a story. They tell the story to the kids who are SEETHING about them giving away the pink shirt which was for his new body.So then the newspaper says that the first guy, the nice guy, bummed some other guy and took his money after they danced in the rainbow room which is so unfair because he was just being nice as usual and likes a nice bumming. Then after a few more cocktail parties and stories the nice guy calls up "Weezer" the lady and says, you are my father do you want me to make you dinner again then they get stuck in traffic and Donald Sutherland cares about the nice guy when they see him get arrested but then he doesn't care anymore because really he is heartless and just wants to sell art to foreigners who don't even want to buy the art and just want to hear about the nice boy. Then Weezer is upset because she can't find the nice guy because he is a liar and is schizophrenic and he has hanged himself (probably) with the pink shirt in a prison but she is not family. Then she screams at Donald who tries to say "just let the lady buy the art " but she is having none of it and goes and looks at the flowers and then it ends. 3/10

Of all the movies I've seen this one has to be the most contrived and pretentious. Like the fast paced and totally unbelievable dialogue for the 60s sitcom "'MASH" this movie is like that on steroids. In a nutshell, PEOPLE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT! The best way to describe is it's a combination of that annoying snappy, quick witted, (again) unrealistic dialogue of Neil Simon AND (try to visualize) Woody Allen lampooning people who are impressed by their own self importance. The characters are either obnoxious or self absorbed. I find all the characters to be incredibly self important. It's a horrible movie and felt the need to shower when it was over, yecccccch. While watching the film I continued to ask myself .."what is this"? Now the good news ,,, it's so bad that its a must see, looking at other reviews on this site I seem to be in the minority. Of. Ourselves it's others who are full of themselves too, Sorry guys I'm right and you're wrong . I grade this movie F? And the F stands for something else

i voted this film very highly, an 8 to be exact. i might be the only one that thought Will Smith did a fine job within this movie. His character rehearsed his lines, therefore sounding rehearsed. So that robotic argument is virtually out the window, considering that's what his character was to be and sound like. Did anyone write about the possibility of Paul having any mental illness? It seems like people missed that the character of "Paul" needed mental help and that is one main reason louisa or oisa or whatever her name was felt for the kid. She was also impressed with his ability to learn so much and be able to change his way of speech and become so articulate in a matter of just 3 months. Personally, i cant think of a movie i've seen where i thought Donald Sutherland ever did a bad job either. I will agree with one thing though, the acting of the "kids" of each family was god awful.

A fantastic script bolstered by excellent performances, pleasant visuals, and steady directing. Once 'Six Degrees' truly gains momentum and once the characters become fleshed out (usually aided by the insertion of complementary characters), the issues tackled in the film start to weigh heavily.There are so many worthwhile concepts at play here, particularly the latent desire for those separated by a societal barrier (race, class, age, etc.) to reconcile and to look more closely at one another.The ending was fantastic; it may be frustrating to some viewers given its ambiguity, but that's what I loved about it. The events that occurred in the film would not be done any justice by neatly wrapping them up at the conclusion. There are too many disparate forces and influences on the characters, especially Ouisa. The important thing, however, is how she embraces her new experiences and allows them to challenge her and contemplate if her life is how she wants it to be.Highly, highly recommended.
