Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mike Jones They said this guy was in nursing school because he couldn't afford medical school. But they didn't say much about how old he was. On a maturity level, I would guess 17 maybe. The sister is obviously older and much smarter. My wife and I debated turning this off for the first 45 minutes or so. This kid is so immature and downright stupid. Can there really be someone that dumb? In New York City?Anyway I won't give it away, but the female lead is terrific. And beautiful. The sister is the brains of the family and the mother is the heart. The kid is just a poor smuck trying to grow up. He has a hard time 'getting it.'Special shout-out to Annete O'Toole, the mom, Rachel Leigh Cook, the sister and Snoop Dogg as the co-worker.

Armand a comedy without many ambitions. nice, humanist, almost correct performance but not really inspired. a young man as axis of a world. new debate about social condition and all-powerful love, few drops of humor and scenes of talk. nothing credible but good occasion to waste the time. if it is a good /bad movie - only expectation has the answer. it is a light movie , picture of a feelings adventure, not spiced, not tasty, full of basic questions and remarkable for Snoop Dogg presence ( only for his fans ), few dogs and slice from a sex shop. Joseph Cross has a not very inspired central character ; the hope to create a naive, sensitive and fragile young man is not realistic. so, only another film with predictable end.

tjdercks A guys father dies, so he has to quit school and get a job to support his mother .. so far so good.His uncle gets him a job as a Doorman. The rules are simple ... don't let people in the building who do not belong, do not fraternize with the Tenants, do not sleep on the job, do not eat on the job, do not follow the bad behavior of other Doormen, do not touch anyone, do not use the front door.The first night on the job ... he basically breaks all of the rules, and also fumbles through a young woman's personal items while making a delivery to her bedroom (creepy!). Over the next few days, he continues to screw up, and is warned repeatedly to stop fraternizing by his Manager. He continues to break the rules, and is fired.Now we are supposed to feel sorry for him, because he lost his job for flirting ... but I feel sorry for his Uncle who vouched for him to get him that job, that he clearly had no respect for, and now his Uncle looks like a jerk. We also see him getting tips for things he did not do, and not giving them to the people who did them (e.g. Snoop helps a family leave for a vacation, and the guy give the tip to the Lead, and the Lead pockets it, and does not give it to Snoop. He does the same thing with a flower delivery guy).There is a scene where a dog gets killed in an elevator accident (which should have beheaded the dog) ... he saves it by giving it mouth-to-mouth? ... but when a homosexual kisses him to thank him, he wipes his face and is repulsed. It was inappropriate for the guy to kiss him on the lips ... but the scene just comes across as Homophobic.In numerous scenes, what the Lead does is creepy ... a Janitor is sleeping, and he puts his hand on the Janitor's chest and puts his ear by his mouth ... the Janitor wakes up and freaks out, that some stranger is touching him (as would most people). The Lead then tells him he is a nurse and the Janitor has breathing problems ... and then walks away (what a HEAD GAME!) Then there is a scene were his Nursing School Dean asks him to hand her a plastic model of a vagina, and he hands her the rectum instead (a seriously bad Nurse) ... but he makes a freaked out face when touching the plastic vagina (and later does the same with plastic testicles)? If plastic body parts freak him out ... do not be a nurse. The real ones are much scarier ... LOLWhen two Prostitutes show up to service a 12 year old boy, that he had promised to watch out for while the child's parents were away ... he does not freak out and lets them up?!?! ... but when their Pimp shows up, he lets him in the Lobby ... LOL. This guy is supposed to be from Brooklyn, not Kansas.Snoop, the Lead's mother and scenes of NYC are the only reason to see this ... otherwise the story sucks, the work ethic is worse, and the romance is unbelievable.

josephelderman First off, the trailer didn't convey what ultimately was produced for the final production. From the trailer, the movie seemed more goofy, perhaps even corny. And although there ultimately was in fact two scenes with this tonal issue, one with a too clichéd and stereotypical same sex couple (easy cheap jokes - dignity filmmakers, dignity) and another scene with two prostitutes and a very young kid (though believe it or not, this sequence was handled a little bit better), the overall feel to the film is an upscale romantic drama comedy. An independent film that has cross over potential, similar to 2002's "Roger Dodger". The film has strong cinematography, and is acted very well by the whole cast: Joseph Cross (very likable and charming), Sarah Roemer (strong presence and you care for her), Rachael Leigh Cook (fantastic support), Joe Pantoliano (always gives a committed performance), Mimi Rogers (made a snob totally believable), Jim Piddock (funny), Snoop Dogg! (played the reality very well) and Annette O'Toole (has a superb moment toward the end of the film). The production also has some cool alternative rock song tracks leaving you in a good mood. The only other nit picky criticism in my opinion is perhaps the repeat of too many shots establishing locations (though I love to see New York on film), and an unnecessary epilogue during the final credit sequence.But I think this simply told story has a sweet and realistic approach to an issue that one might think doesn't seem relevant in these times, but shows and reminds you that in fact - though this movie has a preferred ending - still retains it's importance in this day and age, giving the film a sympathetic struggle and a deeper conflict.Great job, I recommend it!
