Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Wuchak Based on the best-selling 1992 memoir of Beverly Donofrio, "Riding in Cars with Boys" (2001) stars Drew Barrymore as 15 year-old Beverly who gets knocked-up in 1965 and marries the likable loser father (Steve Zahn). Can she turn a bad situation around to the good in the years to come? There are too many slow stretches in this amiable drama and it's a bit too long, but it won me over from numerous angles: Drew's charisma, James Wood as her cop father, Lorraine Bracco as the mother, Brittany Murphy as her best friend, the quality New Jersey/New York locations (note the ending), the realistic struggle of living with an alcoholic/addict, the heaviness of the proceedings lightened up by sporadic humor and the focus on perseverance with a good attitude to turn a negative situation around to the positive.Sara Gilbert plays a peripheral character, a friend of Beverly's, revealing that she's actually attractive in a roundish (not fat) way. Adam Garcia is notable as Beverly's adult son.The film runs 132 minutes.GRADE: B-

SnoopyStyle Penny Marshall directs this life long story. Beverly Donofrio (Drew Barrymore) is a teen mom and an aspiring writing. She is forced to marry the father Ray Hasek (Steve Zahn). Only her marriage is a complete failure, and she views it responsible for her failed educational aspirations.This is light hearted treatment of this bombastic woman. And that might be some of the problems. Penny Marshall's light touch may be much better with something whimsical. This seems to be a story yearning to be tougher and grittier especially the drugs storyline.Drew Barrymore is in her mid 20s here, and that's the performance she gives best here. She seems strange and ill fitting as a teen. Brittany Murphy plays her best friend, and she seems to be a better fit as a teen.

lmcmackin1 This movie title was not the best because you judge it because of the title, or at least I did. My daughter wanted me to buy this movie for her for Xmas. I told her she was crazy. What mother wants to get a movie for their daughter that would be a mother's nightmare. My daughter ask me to trust her and get the movie. I did. We watched it together. It did not take long for me to relate to this movie on several areas.The Dad asking his daughter what she wanted for Xmas and then listen and not get her a bra was so sad. You could see he lost her for many years after that. The movie was filled with humor and very touching scenes. When the Dad has to leave his son was so sad. I cried. I love this movie. I own it. It is not giving up on your dreams and the struggle with relationships. We all can relate somewhere. I watch this movie when I miss my daughter. I learned to trust her a lot more after this movie. She wanted the book too. I had no problem with it. I recommend this movie to anyone. It is a real gem.

Francisco Mejía I did like this movie.Is not the huge deal, but it has a strong message and it is very poignant; in many parts of the world is pretty usual to find situations like this, a single parent fighting to give a better life for a son.For me is a movie that in like 3 parts of the plot gets boring, but the moment that it ends made me think a lot. I had the chance to be raised by my two parents, but the film make me become aware of the effort of them to give me all I need. (I feel pretty corny writing this)The work of Drew Barrymore is excellent, the character is pretty good designed and real, I am not a fan of Steve Zhan but he did great. I just don't get why the score (6.1) is too slow for this movie.
