I want to see this but I'm afraid too. It looks like it'll take way too much out of me

Do y'all know if this film will get a wide release? Because I really want to see it, but it's not playing in my city.

**Lennie1984** · 11-10-2009, 07:38 PM

I dont think it is, it keeps saying a limited release which is a shame

Upcoming Movies in Theaters

Looks like it will be slowly expanding over the next two weeks.

I saw it today.

Wow. Hard movie to watch but so good. Amazing performances by Gabourey and Monique. And I liked both Patton and Mariah in it.

They changed a few things from the book but it stayed pretty close to it.

well if i can get through films like 'antichrist' by lars von trier i can get through anything......can't say i've read the book either, since i normally read memoirs and nonfiction....and i couldn't really care less whether oprah winfrey and tyler perry are presenting it.....i'll probably see it just to see what the "hype" is about...the only reason i haven't seen already is not because i haven't had the chance to see it.....it's because i really haven't had the time to do it.......

So many showing times which is good

***Enigma*** · 11-14-2009, 10:56 PM

mukooh - I always love reading your thoughts on movies, so if you do see it I look forward to reading them.

But, yes, I have a feeling this movie will turn some people off just because of the hype it has been getting.

**Lennie1984** · 11-15-2009, 04:33 AM

Thats a shame, from what i can see this movie deserves all the hype and everything

**taovande** · 11-17-2009, 08:00 AM

Slumdog had a ton of hype and was hugely successful.

I think the subject matter will put people off from from seeing it. i've heard from several people that they don't want to be depressed or cry at a movie theater right now. What a shame...they might be missing out on a wonderful movie.

**Lennie1984** · 11-17-2009, 08:45 AM

Exactly,

I am not that kind of a person who thinks if a movie is so depressed and sad that you shouldnt see it, i love movies and so i will definately go and see this one when it comes out in the UK, judging but the date its coming out here, its the same day as Lovely Bones which i want to see as well
