I liked this movie okay while watching, though it was a little long. The next day I was less enthralled with it. Only my great appreciation for Richard Jenkins inspires the remaining amount of “like.”
I get the point of this move, but man was it long, drawn out and boring. Meryl Streep did her acting thing which was good, but ultimately, this movie was just not that interesting. Sam Neil and Sting briefly (and boringly) appear and if it weren’t for Tracy Ullman I’m not sure I would have made it through the whole thing.
I got this because John Hughes wrote this and I hoped it would be good. Instead, it was incredibly predictable and mediocre. Amy Sedaris was in it, though, which was fun.
Actually watched on 7/18/10, but somehow missed being chronicled in order.
We watched this so Matt could enjoy the perfection of this movie. I was again bedazzled by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and the best ever use of a song I don’t like. It lost nothing in a second viewing, and if you haven’t watched it yet, please do.
