Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Amy Adler How do you review a film you haven't watched? By saying, after a mere ten minutes, its obvious this film has a repulsive quality which negates any joys. In the first few minutes, a young man, Jeff (Bradley Cooper, before he hit it big) is playing jazz and R & B tunes on a VERY minor FM channel. What he plays is very fine. But, soon after, a young beautiful woman and man are making love, explicitly and talking about sex as well. After watching this scene, the film switches to an upscale restaurant, where Jeff and the young woman are employed. As they discuss a customer, its obvious that the lady, again, has been using sex to get what she wants. At that moment, off went the film. It was NOT for me, although I have watched films of an R rated nature. Perhaps even this small movie had some good points but, alas, its not worth the wait for better morals and happenings. My advice is just skip it. As I checked it out of a library, I feel certain the staff selected it for Cooper's inclusion, probably when re-released. What a tragedy, as there are certainly better, more tasteful flicks on the same subject, somewhere.
maixiu I've heard of TV sitcoms about "nothing" but never a movie. If I managed to make sense of the ending, the movie was a young woman whose parents had a dysfunctional relationship, thus she herself is unable to commit to a relationship. However, even with such a thin premise, the movie is astoundingly devoid of anything that would draw a viewer in. The acting is cringe-worthy, led by Coleen Porch as Kenna. Just because you have a pout that resembles Angelina Jolie doesn't mean you don't need to emote. She displays one expression the entire movie, befuddled amusement.There's some decent cinematography but the direction is abysmal. It's as if Coleman Francis was given the script to Hobgoblins. In fact, there's a nightclub scene that nearly plumbs the same depths as the similar scene in Hobgoblins. Is it really possible to speak to the club DJ, across the room, using your indoor voice, while in a "hopping" club? Avoid this turkey at all costs.
wildlifeebs Indescribably bad. Just don't bother. Redbox just started carrying this, so I thought I'd try it - Bradley Cooper, couldn't be all bad right? Wrong. Seriously, just awful. Wish I'd read these reviews before I rented it. Couldn't make it all the way through. Not sure what anyone involved with this movie was thinking:) Wish I could rate it a "0". The acting, the camera shots, everything was just a mess. It looks like it was filmed with a cell phone camcorder:) I was shocked to see it was from 2002 - would appear as though it was filmed before anyone knew what film was! I actually signed up for an IMDb account just to give this review because I'd hate for anyone else to mistakenly be subjected to this film.
Dave Stewart We couldn't even make it through the first 15 minutes of this pile of sophomoric dung. I've seen better acting and more compelling story lines in bad porn. Don't let the crooks that released this on video get another dollar from you simply because it has Bradley Cooper in it eight years before he got lucky and was cast in Hangover. Bradley cooper is a stiff, unskilled, dope in this movie. His acting is pathetic and yet still better than the others in the movie. This is simply something someone found lost on the floor amidst a pile of bad Pauly Shore movies for the last 9 years. Their greed coaxed them into releasing it on video with the hopes of suckering in a bunch of people to unknowingly fork over a couple bucks to taint their DVD players with this festering pus-filled boil of shame. I was hoodwinked. I hope you read this review before you're hoodwinked too.
