Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

emilyharraka This movie is depressing and sucks any kind of positivity out of you. I had nightmares after this movie. It is for anyone who fiends on hurt and human relation decay. The story is heart wrenching and utterly sad. The only reason why I watched it to the end was because I couldn't turn it off halfway through because I had to hope that it would get better. What happened to Helen Hunt? Where did her charisma go? And Eddie Izzard, I know breaking into the movie scene is tough, but ewe, not even funny, not even a little. GROW UP Hollywood. I know the American economy is in the poop right now but do movies really have to be this depressing to reflect it?

Chrysanthepop Richard Levine's 'Every Day' takes a slice of life look at Ned and Jeannie's family life. Their monotonous life is further disrupted when Jeannie's grumpy father, after the death of his wife. Levine tells the story with sincerity but it feels very familiar. It bares some resemblance to movies like 'The Savages' and 'Little Children'. I liked the angle with the teen son who gets lured into sneaking out at night to meet a guy at a disco and yet he's strong-minded enough to refuse drugs. The dynamic between him and his father, especially concerning his homosexuality is portrayed effectively. The struggle between Jeannie and her father is well-depicted. The characters are well-written. The lines are witty and funny but the plot is contrived and very predictable. The Eddie Izzard track felt like an attempt to be quirky and it hardly contributes much to the main story other than providing some comic relief. It's good to see Helen Hunt back. She performs naturally. Brian Dennehy is brilliant and the two child actors are good too. Carla Gugino is spot on. Liev Schreiber and Eddie Izzard are passable.Overall, it may be a typical slice of life family drama but still worth the watch mostly because of the way it portrays certain themes, sharp dialogue and good performances

Tony Heck What if what you thought you were missing in life you already had? A writer for a TV show, Ned (Schreiber) is stuck in a job where his boss demands more and more strange things. His wife Jeannie (Helen Hunt) has just brought her father home to take care of. His son is gay and Ned is trying to avoid admitting it, and his co-worker (Gugino) is another reason his life is spinning out of control. So many movies and TV shows come out that claim to be true to life, or "Reality Shows", they usually turn out to be so over the top they end up borderline spoofing the stars. This is one huge exception. While not being a reality show at all, this is the most true to life movie I have seen in a while. It was depressing in parts, but again because it seemed like they just took a family and watched how they live and made a movie from it, without changing anything. Ned is stuck trying to sort out what his life has become that he finds himself trying to be someone he isn't. This movie is another glaring example of how unless you have a $200 million budget and your movie make $400 million in theaters you will get no recognition or advertising. There are no big name stars in here like Tom Cruise or Katherine Heigle, and because of only casting good actors and relying on script and acting, it gets overlooked. Which is a travesty. I give it an A.Would I watch again? - Yes I would, but again it would lose some of the effect.

John Raymond Peterson I was attracted to this film by the talented, no, the very talented cast. The lead roles and sporting roles were played superbly. It is not too sad but as sad as life generally has in store for all of us at some point, or in store for people close to us, close enough. The realism delivered by Brian Dennehy and Helen Hunt is as good as and better than any performances by other Oscar winners of this year and past. Liev Schreiber took on a most difficult role to play from beginning to end given the changes in the story's context that pertained to his character. He manages to stay the course, making the right moves so subtly that you have no reservation and no question about what feelings he conveys or even why the character is experiencing such feelings. Think about it. He uses very few words, his body language and facial expression never exaggerating the emotion but letting you know exactly what it is and what prompted it. His character is not transformed, it merely experiences what life has thrown in his path; his character proves to be a rock, not a saint. Ezra Miller and Skyler Fortgang play Hunt and Schreiber's sons and acquit themselves as well as the director could surely have hoped for, no less. They also make you believe what experience their characters are going through; the performances are not overdone, they are on the mark. We understand exactly what they feel. The sultry Carla Gugino plays her role very well; you don't hate her flawed character, you understand it and don't feel compelled to judge. I will now use a famous quote which I hope summarizes the parable I saw in the film, which is: Life unfolds as it should. I will recommend it to movie lovers who seek more from movies than the average audience. More of my friends will disagree than agree, but then again it takes a while to develop a taste refined enough for this genre of drama and this quality performance.
