I expected some more fun

Ok, when I wanted to see this movie,I knew it would be predictable,un-realistic, and a bit over-dramatic, but I didn't expect this turkey. I really think a good ol' lifetime movie is more entertaining than this junk. Jennifer Lopez is way too over-dramatic, and doesn't have enough sincerety to make this role believable. The plot is more retarded than anything that I could've imagined:This waitress meets this guy at her cafe, and within 1 minute you have a flash-forward:Suddently the two are married, and Jennifer Lopez("Slim")has had the ultimate rags-to riches transformation. Within the next 2 minutes,Slim and her prince charming have a cute little kid, and are the perfect family. Within 5 more minutes (maximum), Slim discovers that her prince ain't so charmin'.He's been cheatin', and she ain't likin' it. The rest is soooo predictable it hurts. The prince turned frog becomes violent, forcing Slim to run away and plan a "scheme" (oooh) of her own. The only expectations I had for this movie, were:I expected a suspensful,predictable,guilty-pleasure flick with a few twist and turns, and some cute lines. This movie would seriously flop on Lifetime,(and no,I'm, not kidding).This movie just blows in many different directions, and no the results ain't good.

I have three Ace Combat games, and it was not something I had expected. I was hoping for something better

Maybe it is because I am 50 years old, but I at least expected a few belly laughs. What I got was a lot of confused feelings. I loved that Mrs. Elsagher works with the Association of Applied Therapeutic Humor. I guess I expected a whole lot more laugh out loud moments. I was disappointed. My own grandma had the most outstanding ways to make me laugh without even trying. I miss her, but remembering her humor keeps me alive withher memory.

I don't believe my review could do this book justice. To me, funny is funny, and there should be no "minimum age required" to understand funny. I have read reviews where people DID love this book. I don't want to take away from that. A lot of the stories seemed like the funny part was missing, like a joke with no punchline. I hope to give this book another try when I am in a different state of mind. But, I feel like I am old right now. I can relate to a lot of what they are saying, but it isn't quite as humorous as confusing or borderline degrading to the person in the story.

Thank you to Wise Ink Creative Publishing and NetGalley for giving me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase because I was looking for something light and funny.  Most of the positive reviews said the book was hilarious.  It was amusing at times.  I guess I was expecting too much or maybe I'm too old (58).  I was disappointed.

This was my 6th NFS game and I was a little dissapointed. The jump up in graphics from one game to the next was pretty big at first. NFS, NFSII, NFS Pursuit, NFS High Stakes all grew each time. But this game did not go up to a new level like I had hoped. The race idea is fun, having to drive around "looking" for races. I really enjoyed learning how to "drift" for points. The graphics were a bit of a letdown from Porsche Unleashed but an upgrade from the others before it. I did not find anyway to get any cops to chase me and that is one of the fun parts of the many games in the NFS series. I must admit that I only played the Underground 2 for a couple of months cuz Most Wanted came out and I went to that and stayed. I did not try to play on-line, so I cannot answer to that aspect. My suggestion: Buy it if it is cheap.

Middle of the road, I was a little disappointed, because I was expecting more.

I've no specific complaints about the game, it was pretty much as expected, and being able (since I was MUCH younger) to distinguish "play" from "reality", I had no problem with the mayhem filled subject matter. I'm a big fan of "First Person Shooters", and tho' I am also a decent real life sports shooter (you know, with REAL firearms) myself, I've never been tempted - by a computer game at least - to go out and do violence.

But honestly, this game wasn't all that thrilling for me.  I remember the thrill when I first got my Motor Vehicle Operator's Permit, but now - some years later - driving has for the most part become just a chore to get done with as little trouble as possible.

And I'm not even  considering buying a Minivan yet....

Somebody else might find this game a lot of fun - just not me.

The game did laod and run fine with no special PC upgrades. Sometimes that's the biggest problem.

Maybe I'll give it another try in a year or so.  Or not.

I wanted to love this game, it sounded like great whimsical fun.  As it was, our family enjoyed this game, but I wasn't as impressed with it as the other reviews led me to expect.  Granted, our son is an older teen, but he prefers games that are easy to learn and without much strategy, such as Life, Phase 10 and Guillotine.  Also, we have a good sense of whimsy at our house and I also felt this game was appealing that way.  After playing several rounds, it's a game we'll keep and play from time to time, but it's not a favorite.  The novelty is fun, but not enough to carry the game in and of itself.  As I expected, it took several references back to the rules to get through the first 2-3 games and we totally missed the fact that each character  has a special ability...that adds another element of fun to the game.  The 3-D trains is sturdy and stores easily in the box, but does not lend itself to fluid game play.  It can be awkward to move the pieces between various train cars, hard for adult hands to reach the pieces inside the cars sometimes.  The addition of 3-D cacti, tumbleweeds, etc is just wasteful absurdity.  I doubt anyone actually uses them, they add nothing to the game and are purely for show, taking up more space on the playing surface.

There is an element of strategy that adds to the game, but the randomness detracts from the fun.

Sims Vacation is loads of fun, but does not have the creativity and mindboggling things to do that The Sims Hot Date or The Sims Livin' Large had.  They were so entertaining because everything you clicked on had an activity while with The Sims Vacation, you are limited to what you can and cannot do.  And there are not as much variety in the clothing, things you can buy, or the activities.  Don't get me wrong, The Sims, all The Sims, are my favorite games in the world, but this one just didn't impress me as much.  I can't wait for the next one though!

I expected a little bit more than a deck of cards with some special rules.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the game.
I'm a chemist, my girlfriend is a biochemist and we enjoy playing it.
It's just ... we expected a bit more of the gameplay.

It wasn't as funny as i expected it be like the television series. I guess i just to watch the tv reruns.

I preordered this hoping to have as much fun as I'd had with the previous 2 titles.  I was really looking forward to the "sky" location, but after playing it, that fun and excitement wore of REALLY quick!  It's an okay game in it's own right, but if you're looking to relive the playstyle of the originals,..this won't do it.  I got all the way to the end and stopped playing.  I just didn't care enough to see it through.
