This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Quick warning for people who read the book. It wont be that accurate. When i read the book i loved the story and the humble amount of lgbt representation. I'm not saying that every movie these days should include something queer, i am saying that the book did involve a bit more dept of Carrie's sexuality and that this element in the story was very enjoyable and relatable for me to read. The movie also cuts off some characters i personally thought of as good additions to the story and as people that shaped Carrie more as a person.Some other things that kind of bothered me was that Harisson in the book i read was portrayed as an older man in his 40s and in the movie he looked like a 25 year old cutie. The list was also not quite accurate but i didn't mind that too much since these points did make the movie itself more enjoyable and more fitting for the movie industry. The thing that bothered me most was the ending. It ended on such a romantic note while i wished it would've ended a bit more similair to the book since that ending gave me more satisfaction that our loved Carrie would finally be a bit more at peace and satisfied with her life. Besides all the bringdowns the movie on is own is a highly enjoyable screenplay to spend your time on. With some relatable moments, quite amazing acting if i may say so myself and overall, a good plot and story.I recommend you watch it since i would never say it was a waste of my time. It was a good movie, yet dissapointing for someone who loved the book so much like me.

An honest try at portraying the struggle for relationship across generational lines. A lighthearted look at the downsides of being super smart. Supergeeks need love! While the performances are solid, it is hard to imagine the 'plot,' i.e., (spoiler, please read no further if you are spoiler averse) a faculty liaison with a sixteen year old. Jeez! Pretty Little Liars was more than enough in that vein. More to the point, how could someone this geeky get this much action with no awkwardness at all? I am a huge fan of both Gabriel Byrne and Nathan Lane but there were moments when I felt they were phoning it in, although phoning it in for these two remains excellent.A feel good movie with a lot to say about how confusing love is, but, oh, how necessary.

This movie was good to me because I cared what happened to the main character, Carrie. And, this is usually a sign that a film was well written and acted. However...the young male actors in this film, and a plethora of other ones, these days, continue to believe that they do not have to make themselves clear. That is, they are sloppy about pronunciation and enunciation. English (and in this one, Irish) actors and stage players seem to understand the concept of speaking slowly and clearly so that the audience does not have to guess at the dialogue.Where is the training of actors in this regard? Do young people think it is "in" or cool to speak as though they had a mouth full of rocks?Respectfully,

I saw this movie at the Arclight in Chicago last week, knowing nothing about it. I found it to be charming, intelligent, observant and very layered. Bel Powley seems like a force to be reckoned with, and there wasn't a weak link in the cast. I recommended this film to my 62 year old parents, and my 17 year old twins, and everyone loved it. We've now bought the film On Demand as well. Go see it!
