... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe movie diden´t have some part of the book that made the book so great to read. The movie was missing some important detals like Greg having siblings or the ending like the book had but not the movie which I thoguh was important. But I still liked the movie very much despised that the movie made me cry so plus point for that.
... View MoreWell, I can't believe that a film managed to engage me this much. I always hope and yet never expect movies to be that good. There's so much try-hard rubbish now.Somehow, this managed to remain exceptional, despite being a 'coming of age' movie. Completely lacking sentimentalism, perfectly cast, excellent acting.The first couple of minutes left me wondering if it was going to be stupid, but this was a really wonderful, clever work that never felt immature or cutesy.
... View MoreWhat do you do when a friend is dying? We focus on that terrifying moment and forget about everything that's going on around us. In a way, that's the central theme of this movie. How can we remain empathetic when we're suffering too? Having a teenager go through this is a great choice. Especially one that's weird, dramatic and awkward. It helped make moments that would make you cringe feel meh. A few of those moments missed the mark, but the rest were pretty effective. I enjoyed this movie because it felt real, and even though it can tough at times it's definitely worth your time.

When Fox starts its classic movie channel to compete against Arch-Rival Ted Turner and CNN's current old movie recycling center, expect to see loads of similar Renamings from the folks who invented Fake News and Alternative Facts. For instance, SHOOTING THE BREEZE is a much more indefinite approach to the War to End Racist Southern Dudes' Black Slavery than GONE WITH THE WIND (four words which suggest gloom and doom). Similarly, TITANIC has become a buzzword for terrible tragedy, so expect Fox to screen History's second-most popular bladder-buster as SHOOTING FOR A TRANS-ATLANT!C CROSSING RECORD. John Steinbeck's indictment of the Rich People Party's Government Of-, By-, and For the Fat Cat One Per Centers--GRAPES OF WRATH--won't sit well with Fox's target audience (most of whom possess brains held hostage by Stockholm Syndrome), so Fox will try to maintain ratings by offering it as a more Panglossian-sounding SHOOTS OF GRASS. And surely THE SMITH WHO SHOD LIBERTY VALANCE will be less of a Dead-Giveaway than is the original title of this James Stewart\Marion Morrison Oater.
