Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Animenter There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

gogoschka-1 Igby caught me by surprise; I hadn't heard much of the film before seeing it and rented it on a hunch. What a beautiful, weird, sad, funny coming-of-age story and what a cast. The performances throughout are amazing. I absolutely adore this film. 8 stars out of 10In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495

mikasparky Professional, capable actors, quality camera work, great lighting, superb scenery and sets....all that cannot rescue what is the cruddiest premise for a film I've ever seen. The plot is stupid. It's not believable. I can only surmise that the actors in this film either needed the money or owed someone a favor--they HAD to know that this was a dog of a script; I can't imagine this looking any better on the printed page than it does with the words issuing from the actors' mouth. The actors did the best they could--Sarandon is unlikable (her part calls for that), Goldblum is is suitably callous and cretinous, but the thing just doesn't work. There's no polite way to say it--this film stinks on ice. I would not advise anyone save my worst enemy to watch this hot mess. It's awful. I offer two stars in recognition of the technical work; the camera work, the lighting, the set decoration, even the wardrobes are quite good, and of course, the people who did the continuity work, etc., did a fine job. But the script? The script is the latticework upon which the film hangs, and the script was a pile of junk.

ThatDoesntMatter This film did not give me anything but boredom. It is dysfunctional, dispassionate, heartless and cold. if there are people who talk like that in real life I never want to meet them. I was not shocked or amused in any way.The only time I was moved to anything was a slight smile when DH beat up Igby. Everything else was utterly boring, like the boring lives they lead and the boring way they talk and that hypocritical moralistic Hollywood twist of oh I love my mother even though she is a bitch from hell (xcuse me to all bitches). That actually made me angry.There is no character development in any way, I did not connect to anyone (well maybe Bill Pullman...;-)). It is one short sequence of dispassionate dialog after the other, supposed to be witty (I guess). I THINK it is meant to be sarcastic and dry, I just did not get it (my bad I conclude in all humility).All those good actors...man. I could sometimes glimpse a funny and deep film in there somewhere, but the execution just left an empty, depressing work.I was not entertained or enlightened at all. Badly done.

Jordan Paunov After seeing this movie, by total accident with a friend of mine, and we were literally BLOWN AWAY by it, i have to say that i thought of Zach Braff's "Garden State" and thinking - these are the two movies that define our generation. These are the films that represent the smart people/youths of today's social overview. One of the normal kid and the other of he slightly intellectual, rebellious type, but ultimately, these are the two films that define the post grunge generation (referred to as "Generation Y").These two movies are what "My Own Private Idaho", "Drugstore Cowboy", "Fight Club", "Singles", "Se7en", "Arizona Dream" and many more were to the 90's - showing most importantly that the "youths of today" aren't all hopeless. There are still those smart kids. Thank god.Oh, and by the way - post-grunge-smart kids still worship Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice In Chains and all 90's music. Grunge ain't dead. It's a state of mind.
