Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Willow Desert At the video store, this DVD caught my eye immediately because of my longtime girl crush Milla Jovovich on the front cover. I grabbed it straight off the shelf, without hesitation. I knew it would more than likely be a dud film, but I just love to watch Milla and was excited that this film could possibly, maybe, turn out to be an 'okay' film.Well, this film is a complete dud. I cringed the whole way through. The mundane story line had potential, but the script and direction was just terrible. I did not know if this was supposed to be a comedy film or a drama. Either way, it failed in every possible category.The character of Olive (Milla Jovovich), was so over the top and one dimensional. Olive, the stereotypical beautiful Russian single mother con, was a character that was over exaggerated and incredibly annoying. It is not even worth going into any more detail about the characters in this film because it all just sucked. It would be as pointless as analyzing your own vomit after vomiting. The only emotion that this film evoked for me, was sadness over why Milla Jovovich played such a crap character in such a crap film. Milla completely over acted in this film, but that was really the only thing that added slight intrigue. Along with her wardrobe.If you like Milla, then watch it for the sake of seeing Millas beauty on screen. Otherwise, do not bother with this film ... unless you want to spend an hour or so baffled at how anyone could write such a terrible script.Bringing up Bobby - The kind of film that my thirteen year old self would have written back in the day. Pretty clothes, pretty leading lady and pretty ridiculous.
riveravaldez I couldn't believe it, so I eat it all up till the end and yes, that's the message. So, the story go something like this: If you're a single, poor mother with problems and a kid, your only choice, the only thing that can fix your life and your son's life is to find a marriage of rich people who want to take it out from you, because, you know, the only thing that matters is money, so, as the real value of the people is about how rich they are -because, remember, the only thing that matters is money and the life that money can buy you-, no low-social-economical-extraction people can fight or find any solution, that means, if you're poor, you lose, and the rich people are the best, because -please don't forget this-, money is the only issue that matters. C'mon! What's the problem with you, Famke! Better keep acting -or whatever. Gee!
ultrasahand As a fan of Milla Jovovich and Marcia Cross(Desperate Housewives) I picked out this film and as I started watching got amazed by the act which really attached me. Milla playing as a con artist trying make the ends meet. i watched through almost the end and waited for an accident or something so it get's interesting and when I saw the cast and crew names at the end It just hits me that I just wasted and an hour and half of my life . My apologies to fans if they got offended by my review I'm really angry with how the movie ends or maybe it's me cause when I see Milla I'm also waiting for a zombie to pop up :D BTW ... Directer done an amazing job !!!
timmy-240-688140 I specially register myself at IMDb just to write review on this movie. I happen to watch this movie by random and I found it is a nice movie. A very touching movie showing the greatest love from a mother to a son. I was shocked too when coming to know this movie took 20 days to complete shooting. However, it came out as a good movie. I think is quite a low budget movie but the story line is great compare to many other movie. This is a movie of a single mother with her lovely son. It is reality to see many single mother today having hard time trying to give the best to their child. So whoever is raised by single parent, please watch this movie and show your appreciation to them. I love how Milla act in this movie. Spencer List did a cool acting too! Great movie after all...
