If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreToo little contact with reality for me. This is a subject that humanity first now dare tread into and coming with spiritual healing as a cure for something that we still do not know is a disease. The 2 stars above the 1 I first wanted to give, is because the last message is that we will fix this TOGETHER. No pills or that Jesus was the answer (Thank God, pun intended).Casting of Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow two sex symbols makes this movie a masturbation marathon rather than shining a light on what these things means to ordinary people.Rest was the stereotypical imprint we humans have on addiction. The worst kind. For all you who feels stigmatized by this movie, I recommend: Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships, by : Christopher Ryan, Cacilda Jetha.Love to all, peace and no greed!
... View MoreI wrote this big-ass review (my first ever) about this movie which BLEW ME AWAY... But then I realized it was garbage and so I deleted it. So let me just sum it up with this: this film explored sooo many elements of a great movie, not just in a true, in-depth view of what addiction and recovery looks like, but more than that— damn it I wish I knew how to get my thoughts out on to paper!Screw it. I can't. Stellar performances from everybody. Great writing. Possibly biased reviews from addicts who can empathize, but, oh well. Watch!PS: how the hell did this get a 6.6 ??? Trust me, it is so much more deserving of a higher rating.
... View MoreI have to laugh at some of the pretentious comments about this movie. Courageous? Daring? Open a window, people! The subject matter is ridiculous, in my opinion. Whenever I hear people talk about sex addiction I roll my eyes. Times we live in, I guess. It's not a comedy like the trailer made it out to be. It's a drama with some bits of 'comedy' here and there, mostly from Josh Gad, whose character we first see physically molesting a woman on a subway train. But he's an addict, folks! Not a pervert. He can't help himself. You would think any movie with Pink playing a sex addict can't be all that bad, but you'd be wrong. An overlong, boring mess of a movie rife with clichés and misplaced priorities. A low point in the careers of Ruffalo, Robbins, and Paltrow.
... View More"Thanks for Sharing" is one of those sweet cute and nice little independent films that connects each character with an important theme in this case it involves how sex addiction has taken over their lives! It's not porn though it's a film blended well with romance and comedy drama! It's focus is in the therapy session rooms for these sex freaks with the story showing Adam(Mark Ruffalo)as a single man who cannot fight his sexual demons it's a relapse for him as he just can't stop from getting it on with a hot beauty named Phoebe(Gwyneth Paltrow is so hot in a sexy black bra!)And then the elder married man Mike(Tim Robbins)who's problems are in the bedroom with his wife plus he's got a son with a substance abuse problem. And last but not least Neil(Josh Gad)an overgrown overweight big boy who loves the sight of pretty women and he's an excessive champ of masturbation. Overall a nice little film of connection and at the same time you feel the pleasure and sorrow of the characters. Sharing pain and pleasure helps us get thru our daily lives.
