Brilliant and touching

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I don't normally review piping-hot movies, but this one (after first coming to my attention because of the bright canary-yellow dress and the legs, legs, legs on the DVD cover) went on sale very quickly. The back of the box seemed sketchy and I suspected a small, throwaway movie. Was surprised by the wide-screen menu. But something is wrong. Mistakes abound.First off, they introduce her wrong. We meet her as the prissy newscaster, prone to goof-ups. Nothing wrong with the last bit, that makes her human, and likable. But we should have seen her at home first, with her hair down, in some equally crazy situation. Instead, we are off to the night-club bar, where she gets drunk, well, tipsy, all too soon. Throwing up even. Why do mankind insist on over-consuming? Especially with alcohol? Minus points almost instantly. The good girl 'falls' too easily.Noticed a strong trend towards foot fetishism. No nothing wrong there on that account. Elizabeth has very, very nice legs, especially for, dare I say it, an older leading lady (pushing 40). Indeed, there are girls less than half her age who would gleefully kill to have legs like that. Wow!The crack-house scene really won me over, and then the movie became a hit for me. I get the general feeling though that many, many actresses would have passed on this prospect, and that Elizabeth took it as a chance to show the world just how Drop Dead Sexy Hot she still is despite having been not exactly a major star. But as the movie progresses, it sure has its moments of merit- worthiness, and Elizabeth surely is, or had to be, a great sport!Movie has inspired me to research her earlier titles. ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO coming up, but SURRENDER DOROTHY, what the freaking hell...?I predict that WALK OF SHAME will garner a cult following in years to come. After all, there are these predictions that blonds are dying out (I saw it on the Net while doing research, honest), and one day all that will be left for us Dirty Old Men will be fond memories. And they'll take out their old copies of prime Nineties and Aughties and Teenies Hollywood movies and wipe back the tears of longing and just sit and stare like I currently do...Seriously, if you'll look at it again, this is a wonderfully great movie, hilarious, with a really warm heart. And Elizabeth Banks is the true spirit of America, dogging through a difficult (almost (?) demeaning) script, and emerging triumphant. Despite the canary-yellow dress looking like it's been at the bottom of a hundred canary cages.I picked up the brand-new (give or take some months) DVD at a bargain price and got way, way more than my money's worth. At the very start, movie seemed bound to flop, but just stick with it. Many people won't though, so I'd have suggested a whole lot of changes in the first bit, up till the 'stuck-heel on the fire-escape' scene. Past history now, but no matter, just know that it's a great movie after all. You'll root for this girl!

A few good moments but the main character, hung over or not, no one makes that many moronic choices. Therein lies a great opportunity for comedy but the good writers did not show up for this pile of dung. Three of us watched and we were all stating what was going to happen before it did. Pedestrian, very predictable, stupid humor with a foul mouthed, sleazy presentation of humanity and below these otherwise good actors. The lead had the appearance of doing well with mostly bad material but also appeared to not want to be doing certain parts at all.Understandable why a store had this movie in it's $2.00 "Make It Go Away" bin, overpriced at that...

This actually delivers exactly what is promised, it is a long walk of shame, with different kind of humiliation along the way :) It is fun, but not over the top, it has a lot of small scenes that all adds up to this crazy long walk of shame, maybe not shame but more long walk of weird, crazy and different moments.Elizabeth Banks is very likable in this movie, she is frustrated and gets in all kinds of trouble, but she fights her way through it and make friends along the way.Could have been more fun moments, but I like that not all is turned into corny lines or over-the-top fall on your ass comedy.
