Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jotix100 Not having a clue about "Daltry Calhoun", we decided to give it a try. We like to discover "indies" that might have a different viewpoint, away from the commercial films coming from Hollywood. The idea behind the film was the director's own appreciation for Southern culture. Inexperience might have gotten in the way, as Katrina Holden Bronson, the director, seems to have her heart in the right place, but the screen play she wrote is full of chiches about the same quirky characters she is trying to bring to life in her film.The best thing in the film is Sophie Traub, a delightful newcomer, as far as this viewer is concerned, who steals the film from the other, more established actors. Ms. Traub plays June, a girl that having grown up without a father, in her environment, turns out quite balanced and with a maturity way beyond her young age. June, who has taken an interest in Doyle Earl, a big lug of a guy who is illiterate, shows her good nature by teaching this man how to read and deal with what life has given him. Sophie Traub is a young actress on her way to bigger and better things, no doubt.The basic problem with the film is the Daltry Calhoun of Johnny Knoxville. For a man that has made it big in the grass business, he acts as though he is pained to see how far he went with his limited intelligence and resources. The business that started good, suddenly hits a snag as the grass begins producing strange growths. When May reappears in his life, he just doesn't know how to deal with the situation as he reacquaints with June and her mother.Elizabeth Banks, who is usually an excellent presence in anything she appears, is bogged down by her May, a woman who is suffering an unknown disease and has brought June back to her father. Juliette Lewis has some good moments as Flora, the store owner who loves Daltry, and finds June a good cause to get involved with. David Koechner makes an impression as the somewhat retarded older Doyle Earl."Datry Calhoun" is not a total loss and one wishes Ms. Bronson something better for her next time behind the camera.
Dustin Babler You know honestly i thought this movie was going to be a piece of junk when i first got it, but i was curious to see how bad Knoxville was as an actor outside of Walking Tall, personally i think he does an amazing job, not just for someone who's not really an actor, but for anyone in general, not saying that i think he should continue his acting career, but this was a damn good notch in his acting belt. Johnny Knoxville plays Daltry as only i believe he could, his awkward movement and facial expressions couldn't be faked and i couldn't imagine anyone else playing this part. Another great performance in this movie goes to David Koechner aka Doyle, he serves up a heartwarming and very believable performance, this commonly casted funny man really stretches his talents and delivers a great job. All in all a great movie, depressing, but great in the end.
kennethcoker1982-1 Wow, I have seen Lifetime movies, (and I'm a straight male) that have caught my interest for more time. This movie really went nowhere with me, and I do not think it was well cast at all. Johnny Knoxville and David Koechner doing a serious movie really bothered me. Furthermore, on the DVD case, I believe it called the movie a comedy. Whatever was funny about this movie had to be unintentional, as I only chuckled twice during the whole thing. If you like Johnny Knoxville watch MTV or The Ringer to see some better comedic work. Otherwise, unless you are looking for a snoozefest, get this one. I personally think this movie getting a three is a nice gesture on my part.
twilliams_60 Not much going on with this movie. The movie lacks substance, direction and people that can act. There were many directions this movie could have gone but it didn't take on any real direction at all. I believe it could have been a real "feel good" type of flick but after it was over I didn't feel anything. Without Sophie Traub's performance as June, this movie wouldn't rank more than a 1 but because she did bring some character to it I gave it a 3. Knoxville's performance was disappointing especially after recently viewing him in Ringer.
