Well, I didn't say it was great. It was just better than I was expecting and not nearly as bad as people made it out to be. Reese/Paul are the highlight, most definitely.

Yeah, I believe you. I'll probably feel the same. I have a weird thing going on with movies. I love the "critic darling" movies but then I'll turn around a love a movie that they just raked through the coals.

I'm the exact same way. I think it just depends on what you connect with, and what state of mind you're in when you watch a movie.

stormy eyes · 08-01-2011, 05:56 PM

Definitely agree! Especially the state of mind. I've watched movies one time and dislike them, then caught it again and loved it all because I was in different moods. I forget about that.

keep the starlight · 08-02-2011, 05:54 PM

Yep, so true. If I'm not in the mood to laugh and watch a comedy, I'm just like, ugh.

stormy eyes · 08-02-2011, 09:19 PM

Yep, I just think it's the worst movie in the world. Then I catch it on another day and I'm like LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO WHAT MOVIE WAS I WATCHING BEFORE?! It never fails, lol.

keep the starlight · 08-02-2011, 10:15 PM

LOL, it really is so true. Or I'll watch a sad movie and be like, I feel nothing! This is a sham! And then watch it a different night and bawl my eyes out. Hah.

Yesssssss, omg. That actually happened to me with The Notebook. The first time I watched it was in the car on a long road trip and I was like...um, why did everybody bawl over this?! And then I watched it again a couple weeks later and bawled like a freaking baby.

Oh, The Notebook will definitely get you when you're in a certain mood. It's the older version of them that rips my heart out. =/

I remember watching My Best Friend's Wedding and not liking the movie, not getting emotional, etc. I watched it years later and BAWLED during the scene where Julia's character and her best friend dance and he sings to her, and now I LOVE the movie. And I still cry during that part every. single. time.

stormy eyes · 08-07-2011, 11:18 AM

I actually just saw that movie for the first time a few months ago. At first I really didn't think I was gonna like it but by the end I was totally wrap into it and crying.

keep the starlight · 08-07-2011, 03:46 PM

Right?! I don't know what it is, but it just gets me.

stormy eyes · 08-12-2011, 05:01 PM

This just started on STARZ and so I'm watching it right now!

ETA: Just finished. Hm. Is it possible not to have an opinion of a movie? If so, that's how I feel about this one. LOL. I certainly didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that I liked it. I actually kinda felt as though I watched a whole bunch of nothing. Reese, Paul, Owen, & Jack did great with what they were given IMO they just weren't given much. I feel like I didn't get to know the characters at all, or their relationships. It was...odd.

keep the starlight · 08-12-2011, 10:05 PM

Yeah, I mean, it wasn't great by any means. I thought Reese and Paul were cute. The script just wasn't really there.

stormy eyes · 08-14-2011, 11:40 AM

They were really cute and I think that speaks of them as actors and just their natural chemistry because, like you just said, the script just wasn't there. I thought Owen did a good job too because his character was just written not great at all.

I almost feel like if this was an indie-type movie on a way smaller budget it would have worked a lot better. Because it felt like that type of movie but it just wasn't working because it was clear this one had a 100+ million budget. Which is NUTS. Because nothing happened! Lol.

keep the starlight · 08-14-2011, 09:24 PM

Well, the budget was mostly for the cast. Reese and Nicholson pull in BIG pay checks.

I do remember liking the scene in the hospital, and Reese looked adorbs throughout.
