Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

liambl Being an apparent remake of a French film (in which I have not seen, nor heard of, so I cannot compare it to this), this film is directed by Chris Columbus and stars Hugh Grant as Samuel Faulkner, a child psychologist who is in a romantic relationship with Rebecca Taylor (played by Julianne Moore), a kind-hearted ballet teacher. One day at the beach, Rebecca decides on taking their relationship to the next level, as she considers on starting a family with him. Having mixed feelings about the idea, Samuel avoids telling her how he really feels; he fears, not only commitment, but confrontation as well.There is also a sub- plot involving another couple (played by Tom Arnold and Joan Cusack), who are in fact married with three girls (two of them played by Ashley Johnson and Alexa Vega). Much to Samuel's annoyance, the couple seemingly brag about their somewhat perfection and lifestyle as far shoving it in everyone else's face. That may not be the case, however, as Rebecca forms a bond with the wife. Tired of his cowardliness, Rebecca then decides to leave him as she claims that she can manage a family on her own. It is then settled as Samuel learns to face reality and do something more with his life; more so, accepting the position of becoming a father.First, I would like to add that I was about 5-8 when I first saw this movie, and I remember quite a lot of scenes from it. Second, this is the first movie I have seen both Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore in (and I don't recall ever seeing Joan Cusack in anything prior to this either). With that said, Grant and Moore work marvelous off of each other. Arnold and Cusack are also pretty good in this, but they didn't stand out as much as I thought they had. My biggest gripe with the film is Jeff Goldblum as Samuel's friend, Sean. I'm not entirely sure, it felt like he was just phoning it in the whole time; he seemed completely bored and unfocused. Last, but definitely not least, we have Robin Williams as Kosevich, a blatantly inexperienced (and overtly sensitive) Russian doctor; while not my favorite part of the entire film, he was definitely a scene-stealer.Overall, this is one of the most underrated films in cinematic history. I will not understand the hatred it's gotten, because it tackled on in-dearly relatable situations. With that said, I am happy to announce that this is one of the best comedies I have seen in my lifetime.

Accursed91 Now for those of you who don't know me (which is most likely everyone who will ever read this...) I am not married, I don't have any kids nor do I have any plan on ever doing either of those two things. I am single, I got an good job, a nice apartment, I love my current way of life and while I do enjoy spending time with my nephews and nieces I feel like I would never be able to be an dad and if I ever somehow ended up as an father I know wouldn't be able to stand it (I enjoy my peace and quiet way too much).Now before we proceed, ask yourself this: Is there something wrong with that? Because if you ask this film, then apparently there is.While I watched this film with my sister (who is married and got three kids) I realized that we viewed it completely differently. She saw an predictable, goofy romcom movie about how an life changing event forced him to grow as an person and step up to take his place as an father.I saw an 103 minute film where a mans life was slowly torn asunder while the love of his life was more than willing to discard him just because he didn't do exactly as he wanted and because he didn't feel ready to become a father (do note, she NEVER gives him a say in the matter), all the while extremely unlikable supporting characters ridiculed him and the only other unmarried character (who was portrayed as an deadbeat who felt like his life was empty and hollow). Add to this the fact that the film portrays people who doesn't want to get married as immature, selfish and "commitment-phobes" then you start to see why I didn't enjoy the film at all.In short, not my kind of film.

ComedyFan2010 What is right is to produce 4 of incredibly annoying, rude, out of control brats and become the kind of people everyone find annoying because they are nothing but parents anymore. At least this is the message of this movie.This movie is all about cliché gender stereotypes which are equally insulting to both men and women. Men are the ones who act like little babies staring fights in toy stores and be all terrified about pregnancy. And women are annoying bitches with a stick up their bum who don't like fun and are incredibly baby crazy. This is all they want, babies!!! And of course if you want to have a baby you have to "grow up". This means abandon your 16 year old cat. Very disgusting to see a movie promoting such thing, treating animals as objects that can be given away whenever you don't feel like it. I know some reading this will say: "But this is just a mooooooviiiiiieeee.". Well, yes it is, and i am aware that no cat was harmed while filming it. But at the same time: how many hysterical preggos got rid of their poor pets because they watched it and got scared about a "disease".When it comes to what i discussed before: gender stereotyping. Some comedies can get away with it, when they are funny. But this one can't even be qualified as a real comedy. Way too much cheese in it to be funny.And when they get funny sometimes they go way too far and become more than a comedy but some slapstick. Which doesn't have to be bad, actually my favorite part of this movie is the trip to the hospital. But a slapstick is good when it is a slapstick, and not mainly a child promoting, non-parents shaming melodrama.I think the actors are good, but this didn't help the fact that I hated the characters and all the movie. The only exception could be Robin Williams.Can't really give this movie a good rating. A good cast and 2 scenes which I liked can't make it up for the fact that the rest of the movie was very bad.

Ion Indolean Hugh Grant, Juliane Moore could be a knocking couple for this movie, but the lines and the action makes it an average film, which respects the typical comedy story. It could be much more, but Chris Columbus (the director) didn't manage to take an ordinary story to an extraordinary extent, even though he had the material (and here i refer to the actors which are first class).I don't know what it is your opinion, but i am fed up with this kind of soft movies, made just to be made. I think a movie should be more than laughter and good time for the viewer; it should have a strong idea and make you think about the world you live in. And it definitely should not be too optimistic because life is not.I don't recommend this movie, not even if you want to laugh and have a good time. If that is what you expect from a movie than you'd better watch American Pie or other like that one, which you know from the start they don't have any hidden theme or idea to think about.
