Overrated and overhyped

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ok, so the male lead became infatuated with a sweet young and naïve girl who sees good in him, basically because she doesn't know any better after being locked away first in her Mother's house, and then in a mental institute.Call me old fashioned, but I would have liked to have seen some signs of growth in him, but there really was none. I don't consider him continuing to game the system so he can be with his GF as any kind of growth.Not even an apology to his parents, especially his dad. Am I suppose to believe that when the newness and excitement wears off in this new relationship, he won't go back to his ways with strippers and gambling? Why? Sure, playing the white knight to a troubled girl is fun at first, but it won't be long when he has to put on his big boy pants and actually take care of another adult human being. What fun is that to a guy like this?She is basically a child in a woman's body, and I don't want to think too much on that because then the movie takes on a really creepy vibe. But her being like this makes his irresponsibility seem fun and exciting; an adventure that she wants to go on forever and ever! He is basically the parent who will let her eat candy and junk, skip all responsibility and just do whatever seems fun every day, and if his dad doesn't want to pay for that, well then we can always just steal from him! People are who they are until they prove otherwise. I see a world of hurt in her future with him.It wasn't a bad movie though, and I enjoyed some of it. I just felt let down when it was done.

How many times has this 'igganunt' story been hashed out? Smart(?) handsome young man falls in love with a mentally disturbed yet beautiful young girl. Everybody cheers for the stupid chick and everybody loves the young handsome man because he has taken the 'igganunt' mentally disturbed beautiful young girl into his love starved heart. Think of that piece of crap '50 First Dates' . Why did I watch this movie? The girl Daisy (Evan Wood) belongs in a special institution for the mentally insane and he Jay (Scott Speedman) is about ten minutes from death because he has borrowed from the underworld to cover his gambling debts. These two meet and hit the road! HOW ORIGINAL! Then retard Daisy just charms Jay's ever-so rich family so much that they just squeal with delight that Jay has bagged a fish.All ends happily with all the expected bumps in between. Oh, and by the way, it's called 'Barefoot' because Daisy has no concept of what shoes are.Oh, what a stupid movie!!!!

This is an interesting story and we didn't want it to end, but the telling of it has several holes and several parts that aren't believable enough to make the telling of the story flow well and to make it great. Would love to see it reworked a bit.They do a great job with the low budget. The cinematography is great. Almost all of the acting is great. The vocab is less than great though. There is an unhealthy helping of "ew" vocab which is just uncool. It would have been fun to hear non-barnyard words in its place.Despite the holes in the story and the vocab, it's definitely worth watching. Scott Speedman and J.K. Simmons are almost always worth watching.

This film is utterly heartwarming, the cast is wonderful, the main characters a delight to watch. An unusual story yet a refreshing one in that it is out of the ordinary for your typical romance movie. Really enjoyed this film, its a well written story, you find yourself wanting the movie to continue so you can watch more and continue the journey with the two characters. A great movie is one that makes you want to know more about the characters even after the credits start rolling and this movie does that by creating two amazing lovable characters that you just want to keep watching. A really unique love story that warms the heart. if you are a romantic at heart you will really enjoy this film.
