it is not a good movie, you may enjoy it anyway

It is not a very good movie. The acting is okay. The writing and plot are kinda weak. The technobable and effects are pretty good for the early 1980's. Oh, the 80's. It is super campy. If you want a campy hero and crew that are pointless but save the day anyway, this films for you. And now I know what it means when someone says, "Negative, we are not in the 8th dimension, we are over New Jersey."

I watched this movie after a recommendation of a faith based blog praising its message and warning about sitting the first 20 min after which the movie would get interesting. So I sitted the first 30 min and then could barely watch it without fast forwarding a few times. Reading the favorable and unfavorable comments my idea is that this is a type of movie that may touch you in a good way for its positive message and its mythology of hope fighters against despair warriors and its double plot (fantasy/real world) where there is a protagonist in each realm that needs some redemption. And it helps that both protagonists find motivation in a cute girl... BUT ... for other people like me if the story doesn't capture you, the effects won't do it either. So I am writing this for people that either didn't like the movie after watching it and could use a sanity check (reviews with low stars are full of snark directed towards the fans of the movie that may discredit their opinion) or skeptic viewers that may want another perspective on the movie. Certainly you have to praise the nice message of the movie and for some people that may make the movie worthwhile, but the movie for me is tiresome to watch as the way to introduce the story can be painfully slow (blame twitter for my short attention span, hehe) and then it doesn't get better. Also the movie is full of corny scenes that may had been captivating for me when I was 15 years old. Then as others have pointed out, you get some information about the dad (and how he got stranded from her daughter) in bursts so you may understand the origin of his sadness and then some super-sugary scenes on how he met his wife. At the end you can piece together a lot of the backstory of the characters (in both realities) using those snippets of info, but still the main story can be a snoozefest (or at least it was for me). So at the end, for me the movie has an amateurish feel (in scripting, acting, dialogue, and filming) and it can be boring to watch, but if you are in a deep need for a hope story you may like it. Definitely not an overachieving movie for the budget as others suggest, I camp with those that remark with snark that the movie has a film-student seal on it. Maybe I'll watch it again with a friend to make jokes about it :-) this movie has potential as something that is so bad that may be so good.

I rate it as "okay"; not great, but a decent diversion when you just want to relax, watch a movie & not think too much. It's not the best of this franchise, but if you like the other two, you'll probably like this one as well. I have to add that the blooper reel is not very funny.

It has some fun moments, but feels longer than it is. Don't bother watching unless you want something to fall asleep to.

A good movie, but you cannot capture the beauty of the book on the screen.

Tried to think of something positive to say about this movie: the music score was OK. Otherwise, watch at you own risk.

Not what we expected, but good for the type of movie it is

There are other more intriguing types of theses movies, they are a dime a dozen. Tastefully done however. There are many better movies to see out there that may even keep you more wide awake and riveted

if you don't mind stereotypical characters and if you're a fan of the actors, you might enjoy it.

The movie was OK, but I just prefer to use my free time on a more lighter and nicer subjects.  I know that what was presented on the movie, could or was truth and I feel sorrow for whomever go through similar situations, but like I said, I prefer to use my free time on more enjoyable subjects.  If you like those kind of subjects, you would find it is a good movie.  I just donated to the local Library for others to enjoy it.

...but it certainly isn't good, either.  This is one of those movies you watch on the cheap or, ideally, free, when nothing else is on.  Popcorn movie to pass some time, basically.  The acting, especially the younger actors,  leaves a lot to be desired.  Full of cliche's, as to be expected with this type of movie.  Nothing is going to happen that you can't predict.  So again, I've seen far worse movies than this, but I certainly wouldn't sit through it again.

First of, let me get this out of the way early. Do not buy this movie. I reviewed it for free for the Amazon Vine program in a three-star rating that I gave it reflects that.  Had I paid actual money for this movie I probably would've given it one star rating. So I'm operating under the assumption here that you're either going to rent this movie or possibly watch it on a premium cable channel.

Every Day is just a bland story. It's just your average family trouble. The main character, Ned has to deal with bad relationship problems, bad in law problems, and bad children problems. Since all stuff that we've seen  done before and it is been done better. My main problem with the movie was that it's three co-current running plots were just too much for a film that ran a little over an hour. Though I will admit I'm not sure is a longer running time would've been enough to salvage this movie.

 It certainly watchable, the film has plenty of good actors. Liev Schreiber, Helen Hunt, Eddie Izzard,  Brian Dennehy, and the rest of the cast make the film watchable, but that's about it. It's just not that good of a story.

I wouldn't go out of your way to watch Every Day. You won't hate the film, but any trouble that you'd go through to see it would instill some sort of expectation in your mind that this movie is going to be good. And it's not. It's just okay.

As with any other movie, it's a subjective thing.  If you enjoy the Napoleon Dynamite-type of show, you may well enjoy this one too.

I really had no intention of seeing this movie. I will admit that I only watched it because I found out a specific actor was in it (although barely). That said, I really like the movie.

Not to get on some of the other reviewers too much, but this is a movie, not a documentary. Creative license is always taken for entertainment value. We should all know that going in. There doesn't need to be a multipage diatribe on all of the historical inaccuracies. Movies should be fun. Just let it go and enjoy it.

a free movie isn't always good, but at least it's free.

the sound people suck. the script and directing suck. the cinematography sucks. the actors suck.

but it's free.
