Wordiezett So much average

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

jazzding-1 Just subtle enough to be very interesting. You have to work for this one -- and I'm not completely sure I really got it. It's like a long alcohol soaked night in New Orleans: reality fades and the line between living and dreaming evaporates. Clever in concept, it pushes you to grow: it nurtures you. Like a gardener nurtures the flora, pinching off a leaf here and hacking off a branch there. What a trip to see Clarence Williams III in this thing doing an outstanding job! But hang on to your hat: the music is gonna grab you and rattle you like a bag of bones. It is Killer. I think I've walked every one of the locations used and I want to go back to NOLA to sweat and stagger again. Yep; this one's going to haunt me for awhile. Thank you David Arquette.

barbecuedbanana Pretty actors, good actors.No story.I was very disappointed by this film. Not because I like shoot em ups - I don't - but because it had no clarity at all. It reminded me of how I felt when I had a really bad fever once and became delirious. Nothing made sense and I was having to fill in the gaps for myself all the way through. I would have had a better time just staring at a blank wall and making my own film up in my head. The experience made more sense when I checked the background of the director/writer of the film and found he was also behind Cherry 2000!!A film that was on a week or so ago on cable and which was agreed by my family to be the worst and most annoying film we have ever sat through. Its most annoying trait was echoed by Happy Here and Now - in that both films keep on promising to get better if you just keep on watching. You have the feeling that it must be going somewhere and any moment it will all fall into place and make sense. After all they wouldn't spend all that time and money on a complete pointless waste of effort would they?Umm.... Yes. They would.

lazur-2 The scenes of New Orleans have taken on a greater importance since the Katrina disaster. Some people will only know N.O. from this movie. (Unfortunately, most people will never see the movie, either.) Real-life characters, clubs, and music make this worthwhile for anyone's viewing at least once. Dialog on esoteric matters resembles 'Slackers'. I enjoyed that a science fiction perspective was required for the relationships to exist, while the vibe of the film is otherwise very neighborhood-low-tech. The problem is that I was fooled into thinking that the accompanying plot mattered, only to be left hanging at the end. Very enjoyable , piece by piece. This would have been a much better film if they had either 1/ tightened up the plot a little, or 2/loosened it enough so that lack of a real resolution wasn't required. .

Suzie True There is great potential in the premise and some of the characters, but no commitment to an engrossing story. The main character is as flacid as one comes, and it's mostly not the actress's fault. There is no delivery of any coherent message in each of the subplots that is taped together with scotch tape (no offense to 3M), And any direction each story goes in ends up in not only a dead end but a colorless, bland cosmos.Not recommended for even those who go to movies to hallucinate. Unless you need some extra sleep. - A sleeper, in the literal sense.
