Good idea lost in the noise
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreWhat an awful film, I seriously can't believe how many people seem to inexplicably have liked this as shown here by the amount of positive reviews. The script was poorly written, misogynistic, clichéd, horribly paced, and just all around boring. At some points I just had to laugh at the beyond ridiculous lines and their abhorrently acted deliverance. If this wasn't the last straw after "Twilight" that banished Peter Facinelli to guest staring on B-rated TV, I don't know what was. I'm also sad to see Jamie Alexander relegated to this trite and uninspired piece, she deserves so much better. I hope no one ever has to suffer such a nauseatingly low budget feel, with horrid music choices, an awful script, and sadly unrealistic ending that made me feel no resolution or satisfaction. If I could give this zero stars I would.
... View MoreThe plot: While paying off his father's debt, a skilled pickpocket finds his life turned upside down when his mother reveals that she's moving in with her new boyfriend, a cop with a vendetta closes in on him, and a one-night-stand reveals that she's pregnant with his child.Loosies is a pretty harmless movie. It's set in a world where people fall in love with strangers quickly and easily, characters find redemption effortlessly, and everyone's problems are neatly resolved. As long as you're willing to accept that, I see no reason why you can't enjoy this movie.If you're looking for a gritty, realistic crime drama, there are plenty of movies like that (Scorsese and Coppola have done quite a few good ones). If you're looking for a somewhat whimsical movie that blends elements of romance, drama, heist, and action, then you could do much worse. It'll never be my favorite movie, but I think the critics were a bit too harsh.
... View MoreBrilliant Story, excellently written and executed. I like this genre anyway and feel that this film is up there with the best of its kind. I am a huge fan of Peter Facinelli and follow all his work, so I was naturally looking forward to seeing this film and I was not disappointed. The characters are all very believable, the story is original, and the ending was really satisfying. The acting was very good, helped by a great cast. I really enjoyed the relationship between Bobby (Peter Facinelli) and his Mum (Marianne Leone) it felt very natural and believable. The story between Bobby and Lucy (Jaimie Alexander) felt destined and I enjoyed the development of the relationship. I would highly recommend this film and look out for more of Peters work in the future. Already looking forward to watching it again.
... View MoreIt has only happened once that I turned a movie off without finishing it entirely. I couldn't make it longer than an hour. Unlike other users I found the trailer to be very entertaining, which was in the end in absolute contrast to the movie. Although the movie is not very long, the whole thing feels like its super-protracting. I just signed up on IMDb to warn other people to watch this film. If you wanna make out with your girlfriend and you are looking for a reason to not watch a movie although that was the plan (you know what I mean), you should chose this one. If you want to be entertained, go look for something else. I still can't believe I wasted an hour. Why would people film this story? Its nothing. It only got a second star because it is proper HD and camera as well as acting weren't too bad. Its just the story.
