Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The_Wood Jeremy Davis is the most UNINTERESTING & BORING actor on the face of this planet. With the exception to Saving Private Ryan, every film this creep is in, is ruined by his annoying acting style.This film is a BORING and PRETENTIOUS look at a young youth who is having a hard time finding his way in life. I was really disappointed to see that Mark Pellington directed this film, considering Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies are bona fide masterpieces.Don't waste your time on this heep, and don't let the names Ben Affleck, Rachel Wieze, and Rose McGowan attract you to this film -- because it's all Jermey Davis -- on slow-drive.

nonconformistx7 Going All the Way is a great film, well, at least it was for me. For anyone who is aware of the sexual repression and confusion that can come from parents and religion should see this film. It moves slow at times, but this is more of an artistic film than a comedy so that is understandable. The underlying themes of escaping what you realize has been holding you back, searching for a point in life, and questioning one's beliefs makes this film an immidiate favorite of mine. If you're looking for a movie with typical Ben Affleck, see Dogma. If you're searching for something with some depth that is up for some interpretation, see Going All the Way.Additionally, if you have seen this already and enjoyed it, I also reccomend The Virgin Suicides.

HBOMB There were two things that shocked me about this mostly average film. First, Jeremy Davies gives almost the exact same performance as he gave in Saving Private Ryan, the tics, the mannerisms, the speech patterns, it's all there. Second, his character, an awkward, nerdy photographer home from WWII bags both Amy Locane AND Rose McGowan! Huh? Unbelievable but true.As to the film itself, my main problem with it lay with the friendship at the center. Why does Ben Affleck's character, an outgoing, popular vet also returning from WWII, want to hang out with Davies' character when they are clearly opposites? It's never explained. Also lacking is the plot. There is none. The film simply follows those two characters around on their various exploits but there's never any kind of narrative driving the "story" from scene to scene.All in all, the film is interesting only to see some early work by actors who have gone on to become more popular today - Affleck, Davies and McGowan.

donnuyen i enjoyed this on a personal level. it is the story of sonny, a introverted and nervous photographer, and gunner, a inquisitive jock type. Both seem to want what the other has, but i wouldn't call it symbiotic because they genuinely enjoy each other's company. It is set in a sort of catcher in the rye(which i never liked because it didn't have a real purpose) sort of tone, of alienation and trying to find yourself when youre a middle class white bread kid in the constricted 50's. The only thing i found to dislike was the MTV style directing, which was overused (but still managed to capture a tone for the most part). I would suggest this.
