Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Console best movie i've ever seen.
galenthurber Lovely use of 3D walk through capture. Dislike the fake 10 stars reviews. Follow the ninja for talent in action/
jasontheterrible If I were to rate this on beautiful, nude female bodies alone, I would give it a 10. The premise of being able to freeze frame time was fun even if it has been done before. The part I was not prepared for was the lead character's droll and depressing persona. When he freezes the scenes to explore things up close, he talks and we are forced to listen to the most unintelligible, self-indulgent drivel in film history. One can always forgive the young girls and boys for incoherence and sophistry, but please someone, anyone, kill me now before the next monologue. They were brutal. However, if you are prepared for that the story and scenery are great.
leedisc After 13 years as a member on this site, I realized my profile was never complete because I had never written a review. I had to pick a film, but which one. After a little deliberation, I chose "Cashback" due to the way it lit me up emotionally when I saw it in 2007, eight years ago. I remember constantly walking through the video store and always seeing a single copy of the movie in the new release section. The cover intrigued me for obvious reasons, but when I finally read that it was based on the Academy Award short of the same name, I grabbed it. The story has been reviewed on here over and over. I was a film graduate but still loved a good popcorn movie,meaning I'm not a snob. This film perfectly straddled the line of indecent film, straight forward comedy, and a surprisingly touching love story. This film will amuse any indie lover yet satisfy the film nerds as well, especially when you watch the short before or after (won't affect your viewing of the feature length). It's a great study on how to turn a great, 20-minute short into a 90 minute feature film without losing the spirit and humor of the original, especially by not recasting, retouching, but rather expanding on a universe that for once needed expanding upon. And for any insomniac like myself, this film may help you sleep a little bit better, seriously. I didn't feel so bad being up at all hours, especially in college! A great, quick watch. All my friends I have passed this onto have loved it.
A_Different_Drummer Sean Ellis loves women.Never met the man, probably never will, but that was the #1 takeaway from this uneven but thoroughly interesting film.Lots of layered construction in the story.Borrows from the Forgetting Sarah Marshall meme, starts with the protagonist losing his main love, that is the setup for all that follows.Borrows from THE GIRL THE GOLD WATCH AND EVERYTHING, using the "time freeze" technique to sync up the viewer and the exposition.Borrows from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, using a probing sort of voice-over to fill in the uneven parts of the story, as with the time freezing (see above) But most of all, when you leave the theatre (or turn off the DVD) if you think about this film at all -- and you may -- what you will remember most are the orations on the beauty of women and the joy of discovery thereof, along with related ideas on how the nature of the female form may not itself be the original art form...? Very uneven -- all the fun parts are off the top, by the half-way point you might be excused for thinking you had stumbled into a regular run of the mill romcom.Fox steals her scenes, exactly as one might expect.
