Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The idea behind this movie isn't that bad, but Cameron Diaz overacts it completely. She isn't the right person to play a family mother who got moralic problems with making 1 million per sinful decision. It gets very bad at the end when the only thing you hear is her crying for minutes. As I said: Good idea, but a little more deepness and less overacting would have been nice.

After a night of watching transformers movies and cartoons I was ready for a serious movie. sadly I was disapointed. not only does this film fall short in explosions and slow motion leaping through the air away from an explosion scenes, but it also falls short in the giant robots exploding and explosions shot out of exploding robot guns departments. I thought for sure the box would eventually transform into an exploding robot, but its just a stupid box for the whole movie. there was one scene where I was certain that cameron diaz was going to say "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE....BEEP BOOP BOOP" then transform into a motorbike and leap through the air in slow motion through an explosion. didnt happen. if you are thinking of watching this movie I would strongly suggest you save your money and rent a transformers movie instead.

I can't imagine why I wasted so much time watching this drelk, I guess it was some kind of morbid curiosity. After the first twenty minutes I knew better but I was transfixed like a frog in a flashlight beam, I knew it wouldn't get any better but there I was hoping that somehow it would, it didn't.I answered no to if my review contained spoilers, but the truth of the matter is that the movie itself is spoiled like fish forgotten the trunk of your car, it stinks only scratches the surface of the reality of the situation.
