Good concept, poorly executed.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is a sort of feel-good movie with aspirations of profundity and moralising (that seems to be a def fato inclusion for the Americans) although the source seems to be French (but I've not confirmed that).I'm being overly-picky (which comes of watching too many movies) but there's just a touch too many coincidences in it and although there are some 'light' moments, there are also some dark ones and I'm not sure that it truly qualifies as a 'comedy' unless they're also including 'odd moments of whimsy'.That aside, it's weird to see Simon Pegg in this role. and although he performs admirably, I'm not sure he's 100% suited to it. Him and Rosamund Pike? Well, stranger things have happened.But Pike is great and there's also Jean Reno - yay! - and Christopher Plummer in a cameo.I'm mainly being picky about the script but most folks won't notice. Yeah, go watch it. It's a bit of light fluff and may inspire you to,well, something. Or not...

This movie reminds me a little bit of Walter Mitty at the beginning, but I really love Walter Mitty so I was not disappointed with this one. There are a lot of good sentences, and I really like that part at the end when Hector is in the isolation booth and speaking to Clara on the phone and has all emotions rushing trough him and they are like which one is it and there's just one sentence - It's all of them. So I think that's the best part of the movie, when you realize you need sadness, fear and happiness in order to feel alive. That's what makes life interesting. It's not all just about happiness. I think that movies has a good point and it's worth watching... and it has some really funny parts too!

Recently, one of our students recommended this film to us. Thank you ever so much, Gloria! Did not look at the IMDb.com page until AFTER viewing! As the end credits appeared on the screen, the first thing that crossed my mind was "Who could hate this movie?" Well, apparently 3% of the viewing public seems to be allergic to feel good movies! Yes: IMDb says that 3% of viewers rated "SEARCH" at only 1, 2 or 3 Stars! If you feel you might fall into this category, heed my warning above! Simon Pegg was, perhaps, the main reason I decided to follow through on Gloria's recommendation. Pleasantly surprised, is what I got! SEARCH is a great vehicle for him to showcase an on screen presence that, at least, I had never seen before! SEARCH was released in 2014, when Pegg was 44…Here, he seems to be maturing, in the best sense of the word! Rosamund Pike, in a role she turned in shortly before Gone Girl, seems to be the successful wife, secretly insecure, who really despises being taking for granted. SEARCH boasts a number of seasoned, well-known actors in supporting roles: Stellan Skarsgard is the Uber rich and successful German businessman, coasting through life; Jean Reno is the drug kingpin who develops a conscience, Cristopher Plummer is the self- help guru author who seemingly has inspired Pegg's character; Ming Zhao is…well, we'll let you figure that one out!SEARCH, throughout most of its nearly 2 hours, manages to present us with relatively believable situations that avoid arm-wrestling with our innate suspension of disbelief. When I mentioned finding it difficult to imagine viewers hating this film…I really meant it. Give SEARCH a try…I'm sure you won't be disappointed! 8*.....ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

Ratings: 6.9/10 from 26,195 users. It looks like we are on the same journey Hector... Let's see if I can learn a thing or two from your adventures/ 15 minutes - definitely a slow start comparing to the last films I have been watching lately, and I am still trying to get into it20 minutes - of garbage... At least the British accent is not disappointing. Oh, and the wife... she is perfect 26 minutes - absolutely terrible...43 minutes - this is not a comedy + it is barely interesting 1h 1 minute - the only thing that is making this misery enjoyable, is the sense of journey, travelling and the new locations 1h 3 minutes - the quotes Hector is writing down are also nice 1h 31 minutes - it is rather heart-warming 1h 45 minutes - and it has some nice moments too (emotional ones) 1h 48 minutes - amazing... At this moment, the film is giving you an unspoken definition of the happiness. If you are smart enough, you can easily decode it for yourself tgchan's rating: 5.5 /10
