Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
iman-adem Phoenix plays a character you love to hate. Incredible movie. Incredible ending. Comes full circle. 10/10! I recommend.
mandyhawley I watched this movie when I was younger and enjoyed it, now....it just seems boring. There are no likable characters, the script does a poor job of even letting you get to know anyone but jimmy. It isn't funny, not at all so I'm not sure why it is classified as a comedy. Honestly jimmy just doesn't have that much happen to him, other than lots of sex. Watching this now it just falls flat. There is no lesson learned, no great friendships explored, no amazing love story here. Jimmy doesn't seem to really care about anyone but himself. You get the idea ( due to the narration), that jimmy does indeed become a writer...but that's not explored either. His writing is actually just a side note in the story . It's almost as if somewhere in there a good story existed, but they don't finish telling it or something. It's really just a movie about a selfish person, surrounded by selfish people...who is really nave about life and has no clue what he wants to do, other than girls of course. This movie s devoid of purpose and fairly vapid.
The_Core Boring, pointless teenage angst flick. The dialogue is bad, the acting is bad, the "plot" is bad, the story is unrealistic, the "emotions" are phony. Plenty of shallow pretensiveness taking itself seriously. Unless you're Beavis or Butthead, don't waste your time. As someone else said, leave this one in the 59 cent bin at the local thrift shop. 2/10.
MC horse this is the ONLY movie that I have ever walked out in the middle of. not offensive, or even stupid, just pointless. the main problem is that the supposed protagonist is one of the most self-absorbed, unlikeable characters ever written, and he finds no redemption, or even change. he starts out an a-hole, and ends up and a-hole. at least they could have made him an interesting a-hole, but he was boring, too.
