Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
BoogaBaby Awful, awful ...AWFUL! OMG how long is this movie because it seemed like it was 6 hours long. Started it in daylight it finished in darkness. The main actress looks familiar, I coulda swore I've seen her something. I literally spent the entire movie thinking about where I know her from because that thought was more interesting than anything happening in this "movie". I don't understand what half of these comments are going on about. This film is pure garbage, there are no hidden jewels found here. None, don't listen to any of the other reviews, they smokin the crack...I can't get that 10 hours of my life back but I can stop you from losing yours. This movie made no sense, they swore they were being clever with limited dialogue, they swore they were doing some artsy fartsy you'll have a grand epiphany at the end but omg when the movie just cuts off, find someone to slap. They answered nothing in this film, but to be fair they asked nothing! Her husband gets his brains beat of him and he's left for dead , apparently no reason why, and no one seems to care. She becomes depressed, we all just stare at her for hours while she's staring at nothing for hours. We watch her shop online, make purchases and eat a lot of candy canes and drinks tons of eggnog. We get some excitement with an occasional vomit scene. Usually after she's consumed too much alcohol or drugs which she has been getting loaded since dude died. For some reason, she seems to forget all the alcohol and drugs she's been consuming and thinks her frequent trips to the toilet means she might be pregnant.We never know the answer to that pregnancy test because the movie cuts off but I'm sure the puking is all the hard liquor and cocaine. Listen don't bother with this. I can't even finish my review because I'm so bored.Also, with the cover showing cocaines lines I was expecting more drugs and her getting strung out but she takes like a couple hits, I don't even know how the cover and the name lead you to believe its all about coke but there is not much going on. Even her drug fueled night of fun bored me half to death, such a waste of good coke. Lol j/k
zif ofoz This story just happens to take place during the Christmas season ! ! It is not a Christmas story for family viewing during the holidays - and thank 'Gawd' for that. Forget the reviews that can't seem to grasp this important element of the plot.This is a story that makes a wonderful statement about how Christmas is seen as all happiness and bright lights and celebration. Christmas is something we do - nobody lives the message. People still live their public and private life. People are seldom what they seem to be and that is the story of this film. It is all about Suzanne Barrington's journey in learning this lesson.Suzanne is innocent. She thinks all is well with her marriage and her husband is the wonderful man he is when with her. After the "tragedy" Suzanne discovers all is not happiness and bright lights with her husband. And since she loved him she goes on a journey into his secret life to try to understand the man she was married to. How could he be all sweetness and surprises when with her yet at the same time have a stripper pole dancer drug user as his mistress. The only way Suzanne can gain insight into her husband's mind is to go live his secret life. This she cannot do because she is not him!Suzanne also learns another truth about her sweet as sugar neighbors, and tries to fit in but she cannot! This story is all Suzanne's journey into trying to find her place in life after too many ugly truths fall upon her at a time of year when beauty and hope and false illusion surround all of us.This is fine cinema and fine acting by all ! !
trishdgibson Awful. That's really it. To elaborate: depressing, icky, gross, disgusting, pointless, not fun. A waste of my time. I kept watching because it is labeled "comedy" and I was trying to understand why. Never got there. Nothing funny. I also kept waiting for her to commit suicide. That would have been a relief. 10 lines of text required, so here goes. This review was not intended to contain a spoiler alert but one cannot write 10 lines about it without revealing: that movies containing vomit scenes (more than once, I might add) are automatically NOT FUNNY. There were plenty of revealing sex scenes but they were not enjoyable because the main character was miserable throughout. If this movie were only billed as something other than comedy, it would have had an appropriate audience, and I would not have watched it when looking for a FREAKIN' COMEDY.
Greg I have given a spoiler alert as a safety measure because just about anything about the story in this movie will be a kind of spoiler.First of all, although this is listed as a comedy, it is not. It is a drama, thoughtful and measured and at times sad, with a few funny moments.At the heart of the movie is Anna Margaret Hollyman as Suzanne Barrington, a woman living a low key but happy life, and whose life is completely turned around by a terrible event a month from Christmas. Hollyman is amazing in this role as she barely reacts to all manner of strange situations and actually delivers a great deal in the process. I thought she was absolutely sensational, and I will definitely be seeking out her other movies.All the cast is good, the story - while maybe a bit improbable - is engrossing and the whole production punches well above it's indie weight.Zack Clark has written and directed a great "little" movie here, and I hope he continues in the same vein. And watch out for Anna Margaret Hollyman, she has massive star potential.
