Am I Missing Something?

A Major Disappointment

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I was expecting some happy, feel good type of movie.If that's what you're expecting as well then forget about it.This movie (At times) was disturbing & tough to watch.I was thinking about turning it off at the beginning (For some reason I just could not get into it) but I stuck around.In some ways, I'm glad I stuck around & in some ways, I wish I would've just turned it off when I was going to.I'm glad I stuck around to see how it turned out in the end especially after reading it was based on a true story.I wish I would've turned it off when I was going to because some scenes were disturbing & tough to watch especially knowing it was based on a true story.Hick is a movie that I'd only watch once.Not only because of how real it was but because it's a movie worth watching once but not more than once

This was an excellent film because, the characters were well done, actors very committed, the film itself never stepped out of context. It was impeccably directed, and I just want to point out, this is a soft version of reality. Most teenagers don't make it out, and I will be honest it's a good thing the poor girl never made it to Las Vegas, this town is infamous for chewing up girls and spitting them out in the desert somewhere to be forgotten. These critics don't know crap about stories like this because the hardest thing they ever dealt with was being the fat kid in gym class who didn't want to shower in front of peers. Or the worst of there struggles, they are secretly gay, but I guarantee you they have never found themselves as a teen, walking down any dark roads alone, or having to rely on street smarts just to be sure they got to see the sunrise that morning. So if you want to know what real people think, I'm one of the most critical, skeptical people when it comes to films. To be quite honest I hate watching movies these days, and I refuse to ever go to the theater. Nine times out of ten you walk away wondering if you just wiped your ass with $20.00. My last statement, if you like movies that are more realistic, yet has its funny moments, you may want to watch this. If your into superhero films like green lantern or iron man or prefer movies like CatFish, crap only critics like, than you may want to skip it. If you have any trouble believing this, I advise you not to just watch the news, but check out your local coroners missing people or unidentified bodies, the reality is it could of ended a lot worse, as it often does.

I like highbrow drama as much as the next person, but at the 1 hour mark, nothing much had still happened in this movie.Blake Lively looked confused and not much vested in her role. It's likely she signed on to do this film with expectations, but once it was underway, she lost interest. I love Chloe and probably only made it to 1 hour because she was interesting to watch, but again, nothing interesting happened.Eddie Redmayne is a great actor but even he couldn't save this limp "story". Even after the "murder scene", I was bored and ended up turning it off.What a waste of actors, money, and film.

Chloe Moretz is an absolute pleasure to watch. She is highly expressive and - there's no other word - cute. Her smile - so rare in this picture - when she is playing categories is almost heartbreaking. You suddenly glimpse the child. Eton College has produced 19 British Prime Ministers, including the current one, Damian Lewis, Dominic West and Tom Hiddlestone. And Eddie Redmayne. It is very likely the grandest school in the world. You cannot get more aristocratic. Seems however that the sons of the British rich do very good Americans. Redmayne is astonishingly good in this movie - almost wasted. Because it is not a great film - perhaps a little nasty in fact - though thoughtful in its way. Soundtrack was great. Whomsoever was responsible was obviously a Dylan aficionado, with a pretty good knowledge of country. Patsy Kline has an appropriate melancholy to her voice, and Dylan is all Hibbing, Minnesota, pretty darn hick itself as far as I understand. In the end, though, Hick is not cinematic enough. Would do very well on late night TV (which is how I caught it).
