This movie was good.  Its good for the whole family and just about all ages.  Drew Barrymore's character was annoying, and I don't like her to begin with.  She reminds me of annoying people that I hated growing up, so its not necessarily her fault.  The movie is fun and touching, and has a lot of great actors in it.  I just rented it, and I don't think I would ever buy it.  Rent it.

I usually don't like Adam Sandler movies that much. I think he's a very over-rated comedian. He just plays the same obnoxious, violent jerk in all his movies. I don't know why talented actors like Jack Nicholson have been drawn to work with him. Here, you have talented actors like Keri Russel, Guy Pearce, Courtney Cox and the hilarious Russel Brand.

  Sandler's character isn't that much different from what he usually plays. He's a little bit obnoxious and a little less violent. But for once I actually found him likable. Russel Brand easily steals every scene he shares with Sandler though. He's basically playing the same guy he did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but I rather see him have a long career of playing the same guy than Sandler. Guy Pearce though, I have no idea what made him do this movie. He's a very talented actor but he's just wasted here as the guy who's getting the job that Sandler's character wants. He's not very good in the movie either I admit. He really should stick to more serious roles. To see what I mean, check him out in Memento or Traitor and then watch him in this. Hell, he was even better in the Time Machine.

  Another problem I had with it was that the guinea pig is over-used and not that funny. They just gave a guinea pig CGI big eyes and call him Bugsy, woo hoo. But hey, maybe kids will find that more funny than grown-ups.

  The movie did keep my attention through-out though. I found it fun at times even. Sandler is decent in a movie that someone like Brendon Fraser would usually be in. It's a much better fantasy comedy for him than Click was as well. Plus, unlike with Click, there's no scene where he attempts to make us feel for his character by crying....thank god.

But I really hated it. I consider myself an avid moviegoer, I like mainstream stuff and I have a large collection of obscure stuff. But I was incredibly disappointed by this film.

sure, there are lot of messages in this film. But not really that new, that can be fine if there is an interesting story. But there isn't a lot of story to this. It a series of loosely connected human interactions centered around an inhuman man.

The musical score is terrible. Rather than music being a complement to mood of the scene, it is used to bludgeon the viewer into a mood despite the scene. It comes off as disjoint and confusing. Perhaps this is intentional because the main character is rather chaoctic underneath. But intentional or not, as the viewer I don't want to be confused. I want to observe the story and follow along and maybe if it's a good story, empathize with the character. I suspect the vast majority of the human race would have trouble empathizing with Daniel Plainview, but at the same time he's not painted as a villian we should hate.

Spoiler alert:
Life is cheap, and money can't buy happiness. The End.

Very slow, no emotion, and only Drew Barrymore has any spark.

The best part of this movie is Drew Barrymore. I really liked her character, Nina, who was so colorful, fun, flirty and a little schemer. :)This film tried a little too hard to be an "indie" film, told from two sides. It didn't work for me, but maybe it'll work for you.

That movie itself was good but I didn't like the way it ended.

It was a good movie but I could have lived without buying it, I needed a western movie to round out my collection. I guess I went with the wrong one. I say its just ok. The girl was good, damon sucked and the old guy could have been replaced by a puppet and no one would have been the wiser

It was a cute idea to spoof romantic comedies.  The only problem....it's not romantic, and it's not funny.  The casting is great (mostly SNL alum). The problem.....the script.

THIS MOVIE WAS A REAL TREAT THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT. IT WAS WELL ANIMATED, HAD SOME FUNNY PARTS AND THE IDEA OF PUTTING ROCK MUSIC IN A ANIMATED MOVIE WAS...WELL... ORIGINAL! WHEN I WATCHED THE MOVIE FOR THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME IT LOST SO MUCH OF IT'S MAGIC.  MOST OF THE JOKES SOUNDED MORE DUMB AND ANOYING THE SECOND TIME AROUND.  AND THE DONKEY....UHHH HE GOT A LITTLE OLD THE FIRST TIME, AND BECAME UNBEARABLE EACH VIEWING AFTER THAT! MOST PEOPLE I KNOW LIKE SHREK SO IF YOU WANT TAKE THE CHANCE AND BUY IT BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU RENT IT FIRST,WATCH IT A FEW TIMES AND SEE IF IT IS REALLY WORTH TAKING UP SPACE IN YOU HOME ENTERTAINMENT LIBRARY. I GIVE THIS MOVIE 3 STARS FOR THE GOOD FIRST IMPRETION AND FOR THE GINGERBREAD BOY....GOT TO LOVE HIM. LOL!!! GO SEE MONSTERS INC.

This is my own opinion and I am not opposed to Black Comedy which this clearly was but have to tell you I did not like this movie.  Each of the characters presented a reason not to like them so everything that happened to each character in my mind was well they deserved that.  because of that lack of emotional involvement what did happen just did not seem funny to me

Out of cash, quirky neighbors, avant garde porno. Sounds exactly the same as "Zack and Miri." Of course, even Z&M's porno had a gay segment, but I still see where "Buffering" is coming from. Not a particularly BAD idea, but not a really ORIGINAL idea either. (I'm not even saying that Z&M was the first 'porn for rent' movie either). It caught MY interest, and it IS a good fun/watch with friends movie. Gay, lesbian, OR straight, it's fun.

I know, I know. Everyone SAYS they are a big Wes Anderson fan just to give their review some credibility, but I really am. I loved Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums. Of the three, Rushmore was by far my favorite- and it's the one I have an emotional connection with.

So needless to say, I looked forward to The Life Aquatic immensely- literally the first month after Tenenbaums was released, when there was a rumor that Wes's next project would be an "undersea adventure". So what's wrong with it? I don't know really, other than to say that it just comes off as very very flat. The performances are kind of tepid, and for the first time in a Wes Anderson movie, I didn't really care about the characters. I honestly believe that this is partly due to Owen Wilson's absence in writing the screenplay- he had left the project early on because he is focusing on acting. Well whatever the reason, I just didn't care for this movie, and I did NOT care to see it again in the theater. Will I buy the dvd? Probably.. like I said, I am a fan and I would like to find out what Wes was thinking when he made this. I don't know- maybe I will learn to love it after listening to the commentary.

'Good Luck Chuck' got so much bad press I thought I would hate this movie, but it's not 'THAAAAT' bad...... around 2 1/2 stars....I had to give it 3 stars on the ratings board to even things out a bit. I like Dane Cook, but he has not proven himself as an actor yet. The cast is OK with lots of nude chicks, but it doesn't really pick up any steam until they get through all the usual sex jokes and start getting down to the love story which is all too brief and not all that satisfying. Allow me to clarify my last statement as I have raised a few eyebrows with it. I'm a guy, I like to look at nude chicks, but at some point in this film it became ridiculous and it was time to move on......maybe I just wanted to see Jessica Alba nude? :-D  I've seen much worse, but I've seen much better. The DVD transfer is good and if you've seen everything else at the rental store, you might give this a look.
