What a waste of my time!!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Written and directed by Rebecca Miller, "Maggie's Plan" stars Greta Gerwig as Maggie Harden, a young woman scarred by past wounds. Determined to "control her destiny" and "protect herself" from things outside her control, Maggie resolves to lead a highly structured, controlled, isolated life. This bubble extends to her reproductive organs: Maggie will fertilize herself with a stranger's semen, thereby removing men, mates and messy relationships from the reproductive process.When Maggie falls in love with a middle-aged writer (Ethan Hawke), however, her credo fall apart. She allows herself to be in love, to let someone else take the reigns, all of which inexorably (and ironically) leads Maggie into a chaotic, domesticated, subservient role which she quickly grows to resent. Maggie, ever meddling, passes her new man off to his German ex-wife (Julianne Moore).Funny in places, "Maggie's Plan" is typical of contemporary "indie cinema" (a misnomer, as most of these films are funded by subsidiaries of mega studios): offbeat, quirky, funny, and starring indie starlet, Greta Gerwig. Julianne Moore steals the show as a buttoned-down university professor.7/10 – Bring back the forums, IMDb.

I haven't watched anything so funny in a long long time. I really have no idea what's all the negative reviews that it got. This movie is so well written and directed and acted. I would definitely watch it again. I have no idea who is Rebecca Miller , i would really like to congratulate her for writing and directing such a beautiful comedy. It reminds me very much of Woody Allen but only better. Don't get me wrong i love most of Wooody Allen;s movies, but this one just nudge a little higher than Woody's.Should definitely be a contender for the Oscars. Totally overlooked.Please watch this if you are reading this. 10/10 from (i normally give out 1/10 scores).

I like to watch independent movies, but I also like to watch movies that I like. If you like Woody Allen you will love this movie.I've looked at the clock so many times that I do not remember how many.I do not know what the movie wants to tell me. I do not know if they themselves know they want to tell. I do not know if they clarify in their lives in any sense.It's such a cold movie that I've thought many times that the movie happens to the boy in the cart, is he ever going to walk? I like Julianne Moore, I always like and this time is no less. Everyone else too. I was surprised to see Travis Fimmel, his crazy look is incredible.It has a white photograph like video camera. I do not know why they always think it only takes one script, the other parts are important.Ugly and simple plans, slow direction, do not know that bored.I know that Allen is a movie god, but I do not like him

Greta Gerwig as "Maggie" (an independent woman) bakes up a plan to become a single mother and in the process 'the plan' works but then backfires and puts her into a situation 'the plan' did not include - marriage.Gerwig gives a charming performance as Maggie steering a course through a relationship with a overly analytical writer once divorced husband, raising her three year old child, working her job as an instructor in a local college, and realizing her husband is still in love with his first wife! Maggie is in a pickle so she devises another plan!The setting is the New York City intellectual society living in row houses and meeting in cafe's to socialize. The cast includes Bill Hader, Ethan Hawke, Maya Rudolph, Julianne Moore, Wallace Shawn. This is a simple 'slice of life' type story about modern people looking for and finding happiness and direction in their life. It's probably a film more appreciated by a viewer that likes a romantic flavor in a story that looks into the feelings and emotion in the human spirit.This is a cheerful light story that includes just a touch of sorrow mixed into a picture of mostly happy people getting on with life. And don't forget the pickles!
