Simply A Masterpiece
best movie i've ever seen.
Admirable film.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Say it isn't So (2001): Dir: J.B. Rodgers / Cast: Chris Klein, Heather Graham, Orlando Jones, Sally Field, Richard Jenkins: Scene after scene of pure stupidity about information that a couple discover about each other. Vulgar comedy about an animal shelter worker who falls in love with a hairdresser only to learn that she may be his sister. When he discovers that she isn't his sister, he travels to Beaver to prevent her from marrying a rich snot. His journey becomes complicated once "wanted" signs baring his image are placed about town. He tries to reconnect with her but everyone believes they are related. Director J.B. Rodgers previously made American Pie 2 but here the vulgarity is surrounded by a more comical subject matter. Chris Klein strolls down town with his arm stuck up a cow's ass. Heather Graham plays dumb blonde to perfection. Their conclusion isn't difficult to figure out. Orlando Jones plays a legless pilot who assists Klein in his quest but more would have been better. Sally Field and Richard Jenkins steal scenes as Graham's dysfunctional parents who grow worse in their physical and mental condition. Incest implement may offend certain viewers but since the couple is unrelated it merely exaggerates misinterpretations of information and one's inability to cope with it. It is offensive material but pulls off a funny concept that leaves much to be said. Score: 7 / 10
We have heard of stories where people married only to find out that they were brother and sister.Such is this movie, where a couple are about to marry when they find this out. Unfortunately, they should have quit there instead of extending the story where the girl goes back to her rich lover and the guy finds out that the woman isn't really his sister so he runs back to woo her.It was at this point that the film became rather inane.Sally Field steals the show here as the obnoxious mother who tries to keep the story going so that her daughter can marry this rich, obnoxious guy.The film becomes side tracked by the incidents that our hero encounters when he tries to get his girl back.Sometimes, it's so much better to quit while you're ahead.
I have watched and loved most films like this like the farrelly brothers movies and others alike, this was no exception. It was very entertaining and there were a lot of funny moments in it. 'Say it isn't so' is certainly very underrated and the story is very good, it is something that I would have never really thought of. Chris Klein is very good and the way you would want the character in the movie to be, very easy going and kind to everyone, he means no harm and is just normal unlike every one around him. Lots of people dislike Heather Graham but I thought that she wasn't to bad. It is the type of film that I would expect the audience to love, strange enough it isn't, it has the same amount of laughs as all of the other farrelly brothers movies and a better story line.In conclusion, if you like chris klein and good comedy then you should certainly hire this because it's just as good
What were they thinking? In this movie, Say It Isn't So, An orphan (Chris Klein) who lives in a mid western town and works for a dog kennel falls for a hairdresser (Heather Graham) who might be his sister. Everything about this movie is just one clichéd and not to mention vulgar monstrosity. In the Farrelly Brothers' movies the characters usually travel cross country. In this one it's from Indiana to Beaver Oregon. And as any moron can see, this movie wasn't filmed in either of those states. I've been to Oregon, and it doesn't look like that in this movie.The worst part of the whole movie were those kids at the dinner table, just horribly nauseating. I felt like vomiting after I saw that scene! All in all, Say It Isn't So, is the worst movie the Farrelly Brothers have ever made. If you're a fan of their work, see "Me, Myself, and Irene", "Stuck on You", or "Dumb and Dumber" instead. What was Heather Graham thinking when she agreed to be in this movie? How did Chris Klein get into acting? Even "There's Something About Mary" is better than this pathetic excuse for a comedy. This movie will make you want to throw your television out the window.
