Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

tbills2 These women are supposed to be considered unattractive, yeah freaking right! I'm not buying it. Amy, Parker and Rachel? Ok, I'll play along for a second. Parker Posey looks like Stephanie Szostak shot in the face with a shotgun and forced to have reconstructive face surgery to put her face back together. I love Stephanie. Amy Poehler looks like Anna Faris who's face has been flattened my a cement roller as she was ran over by it and left out in the burning sun to die. I really love Anna. And Rachel Dratch looks like Emily Blunt's less fortunate and way creepier cousin who's parents were obviously a little too related. Just kiddin'! Hehehe, the truth is I love these pretty girls, Amy, Parker and Rachel. Parker is so cute, honestly amazing looking, like purely gorgeous, I don't need to say that obviously I love her. Amy is as sexy as she can be with big beautiful blue eyes and great skin plus she's blonde and just super attractive really. Rachel's very cute-faced with excellent hair and a beautiful smile and nice bod. And Amber Tamblyn, who's like a megacute megahottie, I love plus she kinda looks like Lauren Ambrose maybe but Amber's way hotter than Lauren who cares about Lauren freaking Ambrose. Mae Whitman is too cute. She looks like Rachael Ray a little maybe but even way cuter. I need to work on my self-control but I could use a Spring Break. I love this less popular, but totally hot, cool movie.

WNiiO Just saw this on TV today and it was great.. I watched another movie called Hide and Seek at another channel, but I ended up watching Spring Breakdown instead. I really didn't have any expectations but it was a laugh-out-loud moments in almost every scene. Is it because I watched it very late, or was it because I have the blonde humor.. Or is it, which is more likely, because the movie was just amazingly funny?I'm not going to spoil anything, since I want to keep this review short. I recommend this to everyone, but watch it with a friend. It will become funnier that way.Since it was great and funny and almost no flaws except in the ending, I'm going to give it 8/10.

D_Burke Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch are among the funnier women to have been on "Saturday Night Live". It's unfortunate that they, along with Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph, were on SNL during the longest stretch of unfunny writing and sketch-making (circa 2002-2006) the show has ever had. Still, these two women most especially know what's funny, and they know how to write a funny movie.You'll notice in the credits of this movie that Dratch and director Ryan Shiraki wrote the story for "Spring Breakdown", but who wrote the actual screenplay, consisting of dialogue and all the important fill-in-the-blank material that makes a story into a multidimensional movie? Yep, just Shiraki. Just one guy wrote the dialogue for this movie, and no women apparently wrote the script with him. The result is a pretty cliché spring break movie that doesn't so much spoof the faux holiday as much as exploit it equally as much as MTV does every year.If Dratch, Poehler, and even co-star Parker Posey could have contributed their handwriting to the screenplay, it would have been far less cliché. The premise is original, being about three thirty-something women who were unpopular in high school (and apparently college, too), and never had the fun spring break trip they allegedly dreamed about. I say "allegedly" because you never quite know what fun is to these characters. They entered talent shows in the past where they sang stale pro-woman anthems like "True Colors", and spend their nights together holding make-your-own-pizza parties. Even though none of them are especially unattractive, the outside world appears to treat them like they are. There's a scene where a blind student of Poehler's (played by Poehler's real life husband Will Arnett) asks her out on a date, only to touch her face and immediately change his mind. If Poehler's character is supposed to be unattractive, they obviously hired the wrong actress.The movie continues to show promise, even though we have our doubts about the main characters, when Posey's boss, Texas Senator 'Kay Bee' Hartmann (Jane Lynch, funny as always) hires Posey to watch over her unpopular college-age daughter (Amber Tamblyn, playing yet another woman who's attractive in real life, but not in the eyes of any characters in this movie) while she goes to a Laguna Beach-like vacation spot for Spring Break. Poehler and Dratch come along, they reluctantly get boozed up, party like they apparently should have when they were in college, and then comes the ultimate showdown with the sorority bitches, whose leader is Sophie Monk.Sophie Monk is an incredibly attractive woman who has a body both women and men would kill to have for different reasons. Unfortunately, her movie career is off to a rough start with the abominably unfunny "Date Movie" (2006) and the disappointing "Click" (2006). Here, she plays a Southern belle, although her voice sounds like she stole Delta Burke's voice box. She hams it up a little too much, trying too hard to play a conniving bitch that she comes off as much like a caricature of spoiled college kids as the rest of the extras."Spring Breakdown" was released straight to DVD despite the star power of Amy Poehler, but rightly so because the story is way too cliché. It may as well have been called "National Lampoon's Spring Breakdown", and the magazine probably wouldn't have sued for trademark infringement because of the free publicity. If director Shiraki had given at least one woman the creative input, especially Rachel Dratch, this movie would have been great and not nearly as run-of-the-mill as frat-house comedies we've seen before. I know Dratch will come up with another funny concept, and hopefully be allowed to fill in the rest of the screenplay herself. She's funny enough, and she deserves better than this half-baked comedy that would accept Stiffler's brother with open arms.

torzi_bom Reading some of the comments on the message boards here I was expecting this movie to be a complete letdown - but when I watched it I could not stop laughing! It has officially become my new favourite movie.I don't know what all the hate here is about, maybe it's because a movie of this kind has never really been around before. I am at a loss to name another completely female driven comedy. Plenty of comedies will have one or two actresses in the lead, but there will be a lot of supporting male characters. This one was almost ALL women - with the exception of Seth Meyers, Justin Hartley and the brief appearance of Will Arnett - and it worked. All of the actresses delivered very funny performances (especially Missi Pyle) from a quirky and lovable script.The charm of this film, to me, seems to be in its subtle feminist message: accepting who you are, female success in the public sphere, the strength of female friendships and breaking gender roles. Light-hearted though it is, each of the lead characters face a challenge as their attempts to be more 'fun' conflict with their feminist values and who they knew themselves to be.Missi Pyle proposed that this film missed a theatrical release because of its all-female cast and lack of a big-name actor to get the studios behind it, and I have to agree. Everyone I've recommended this film to has loved it and I think it's a shame that a comedy celebrating female dorkiness hasn't been widely accepted and successful.I highly recommend this film to anyone with an open mind or a love of female-centred comedy.
