This is one of my favorite movies, i've seen it dozens of times. The extra intro on this disk is really funny, but that's just my opinion, man.

If you listen close, there is a lot of information about what's going on in this movie. It's one you really have to pay attention to.

The title pretty much sums it up, but the reason that I rated it so high was that despite these things, it still managed to be a pretty good movie. The main character was emotionally complicated and dangerous, making numerous bids to regain control of her life, slowly losing her sanity, and after this is resolved, the movie is only half over.

Just get past the movie Title. The Movie is actually really intertaining.

What happens when a city kid gets dumped into suburbia, with no friends, and only a ham radio to keep him company? He finds a band to broadcast on, rents a post box for listeners to send him letters, creates an air name, and rags on everyone in his high school.

With a soundtrack that prominently features artists like Leonard Cohen, The Beastie Boys, Was (Not Was) and Ice T among others, the music certainly is eclectic.

The story is held together with a tour-de-force performance from Christian Slater as the jaded jock, turned reform crusader, exposing the shortcomings of his school behind his anonymous veneer of Hard Harry.

It's a bit talky and a bit too clever at times, but it's earnest in its feelings about free speech and concerns about corruption in leadership, a message that seems even more timely today than it did when the film first appeared in theaters.

If you like this movie, you should also check out an earlier film by Director/Writer Allan Moyle: "Times Square."

They're both worth a look.

The movie has too much ugly language, otherwise; a pretty good movie.

Faced with the challenges of a sixth grade girl growing up with the complication of having lost her mother at an early age, the film revolves around the school-centric experience. Things are further complicated for Alice because her father, played by Luke Perry, purchases an out of town music store forcing a family move. Everything seems to be working against her, hence the title, "Upside Down". Even the teacher she was given Mrs. Plotkin played by Penny Marshall was considered to be the mean teacher, and something to be avoided.  The school play tryout was a disaster.
I can't reflect on the movie any deeper than that, otherwise I would be giving away the ending.  I think that the moral of the movie is that when you think that your world is falling apart, and you are the most unpopular person, it really is a faade, and given a chance, support and friendship can come from the most unexpected places.

Pretty dark movie and dark in many other ways.

The lead female character has a lot of problems with her men, good and bad, and contradicts herself throughout the movie. Sexy, but kind of clinical in it's portrayal.

it is a little cheesy at some points, but it was a great movie.

It's a big movie with big themes and dark undertones, that are either done too intensely or veer off into unnecessary sidebars about who Mystique really loves. News flash: Mystique was never actually one of the X-Men, though it's obvious these producers desperately want her to be one. That's the least of my complaints, since her abilities are perfect for visual projects with lots of cute special effects like this movie has. And the stories get rewritten so many times who can keep track of who was who and whose side they were on?  On the plus side, the actors put in great performances all around.  On the minus there wasn't enough of Storm or most of the old team doing their thing. I can never figure out why they choose certain mutants to appear and others to be outright ignored: too many universes I guess, or maybe they just flip coins? Bit minus for this movie: the hyper-violent fight scenes between the last of the mutants and the Sentinals was a bit too graphic, and unnecessarily so: is this what gaming (xbox, etc) has brought on or does it really take this much blood and guts and screaming to get people interested these days?  X-Men stories used to have a bit more intelligence and subtlety to them, especially when imagining dystopian futures. But I'm a fan of the old-school X-men comic books (pre-Ultimate Universe and before Wolverine was in EVERYTHING). The only reason Wolverine got to go back instead of the professor or even Kitty is that Hugh Jackman's steely crazed gaze and massive biceps sell much more than telepathic bald men in wheelchairs and ghost girls. That said, I feel that in a better director's hands the horror of a world ruled by Sentinels would not have been lessened just because mutants weren't being ripped limb from limb in almost every instance. I gave it 3 stars because the possibility of humans unleashing Sentinels on the planet is a great cautionary tale on its own, but the one scene that tickled me was when (not really a spoiler for the 2 people who haven't seen this yet) a teenage, junk food addicted Quicksilver busted Magneto out of his prison and managed to stop time (from our perspectives) in doing so. That one scene of him zooming around a kitchen of people frozen in their simple normal speed made the whole movie worthwhile. I guess that's what special effects was created for...

This was a movie with a message. A few things not quite so true to reality, but a well done.
