Better than most people think

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I liked this movie, and am mildly surprised at the preponderance of negative reviews. I'd have to say that most of the negative reviewers seem to have been looking for something that's not there.This movie came across to me like a comic book... so much so, it's hard for me to imagine this is not what the writer and director were aiming for. Don't look for an explicit message or plot line. And don't look for "realism" (whatever that means). I don't think there's really a "message", or "takeaway". I think the medium is the message (whatever that means).So... How like a comic book? I'm not sure how to say it... Each scene represented a discrete locale, as if a single panel. No jerky camera movements. In some cases the setting had a surreal quality.The action and editing is choppy, jumping awkwardly from scene to scene, leaving you puzzling about what just happened in the previous panel that would lead to the present situation. There's no vector to the story line, and you can't predict where the plot will be going. It just happens... And there are unaccounted for gaps in time, when major events must have transpired, yet the viewer doesn't witness them. In fact, there's not a clear sense of the passage of time. It just happens.The characters know exactly what to say at any given time, as if there were a balloon over their heads providing the dialog. They exhibit no uncertainty, and seem somewhat one dimensional; even enigmatic. I found the dialog terse, punchy, and engaging, and in some cases starkly missing. And they are always perfectly dressed. Where do they live? Where do they get their clothes? Who is their tailor? Don't even ask.The characters don't really evolve much. For some movies, this is a fatal flaw. I didn't see it that way here, especially because I envied their complete sense of place.The acting was expressive when it needed to be, but was also flat at times as well. Finally, the lead actors are what I believe is referred to today as "eye candy"... It made for pleasant viewing.... for me, at least.As a few of the other positive reviews have noted that the style might appeal to you, or it might not. I suggest you give it a try.

This movie was so awful I felt compelled to write a review. Do not waste your time or money on this movie in any way shape or form. Even if someone offers to give it to you and pay you to watch it... don't.I don't know if the acting could be any more terrible.. the cliché voice overs, stereotypes, and just plain wooden acting of all of the actors and actresses in this movie are a total turnoff from the opening moment. The funny thing is that Amber Heard and Britney Snow are actually pretty descent actresses so it was kind of painful to watch them in this.I finally shut it off about 2/3 through because I couldn't care less what happened to any of the characters.

An odd take on the image we present ourselves as and how product is brought to our attention. Surface tension has no strength to remain the same.Everything isn't what it seems to be or is everything exactly as it is? Either way all things change in an instant. Just like the relationship between Scat and Six, product is presented to the public one way and then suddenly another.Something we love to buy today is off the list soon. No matter what the change is it's still perceived as the same thing. Once the syrup is gone we loose interest.Welcome to 'Syrup'.

Syrup <3This movie is such an amazing piece of art, especially in regards to the marketing world, despite the fact that it can be considered a bit unrealistic or exaggerated image of reality. The fantastic part is, they have portrayed this segment about marketing in such an artistic way that it can be sold as a movie too, cool isn't it? :PAnother amazing thing is that if you really watch the movie for real, not just to kill time, not only you will get its real essence, but so many new ideas too about how things should work in this part of the business. You will also understand what are do's and don'ts of a particular business campaign, which they don't typically write in the books. This kind of stuff you can only learn by the implementation of such ideas in a systematic, cooperate way and you should always be ready to face all kinds of circumstances. Smarter move would be to float these ideas which are feasible, all things considered. Don't just throw an idea on the table just for it being cool or catchy without really considering other factors. I guess I have said too much about the movie, must be sounding boring to you guys, but one thing is sure that you will be willing to watch the movie right after you watch the trailer! That's marketing ;) Moral of the story, image is an image even if you deeply and madly in love with an image or a person with an image, it's not real love it's just an image.P.S. The character of Six reminds me of my boss. I was laughing at remarkable resemblance between both, related to approach, working style and behavior in the office :p
