Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

elainegrant This movie is akin to watching paint dry. We kept waiting for something, anything to happen! LA did look very nice but that wasn't enough to carry this sad, hopeless film. The ending was totally nonsensical and made me mad that I just wasted 90 minutes of my life. Would have been infinitely better had it ended with him picking up his daughter from camp and making a life with her. But I guess no one wanted this loving, beautiful young girl! Instead we get the lead character leaving his car by the side of the road and walking off into the desert. Ridiculous way to end a movie. This could have been a good movie but instead it just sucked!

M MALIK This is it Sophia Coppola has lost it she tries too hard to get into art genre its not everyones game its a gift she is no roman Polanski so why bother but i have to say her lost in translation 2003 was much better then this any day.Why Sophia Coppola never gives chance to Nicolas Cage in her movies is beyond me they are cousins & family plus Cage is a top class legend actor instead Sophia just writes lame scripts only for gaining praise from critics its been so many years she directs same type of films the characters in her films are shown as extremely tragic ones trying to gain sympathy every time.The Plot:a confused Hollywood actor goes to a hotel just to get drunk,get laid with women but suddenly his daughter arrives there too and things go more awkward.Where is the story just what were these guys thinking the hotel was bad,the strippers appear doing weird dance Johnnny Marco actually lets a male massage man enter the room just when he is undressing john gets up & says this is not for me i mean wow i bet the audience just clapped at this scene at least he realized he quick he was in trouble.The big question is why is he keeping his daughter in same kinky hotel filled with filthy environment john simply does not care because he himself is a person with no morals,manners or shame left.The pace is slow affecting viewers attention one cool thing this project has is the black Ferrari which john drives & wastes not only fuel but his time & also of the audience members who paid big money for this film having some expectations or hoping they might get entertain but nothing interesting happens from start to finish.I will tell two films that are amazing then this movie first one is Leaving Las Vegas 1995 & second is Flashbacks Of A Fool 2008 starting Daniel Craig i have seen both of them those are classics compared to this junk.The Cast:Stephen Dorff is a good actor but he must not be happy after he saw this attached to his filmography the rest cast fails to impress but what the hell was Benicio Del Toro doing here along with other famous celebrities including Michelle Monaghan.Overall Somewhere 2010 is the most empty film from Sophia Coppola i hope she would not make this mistake again my rating is 2/10.Skipp It

pjk84 Well, the title isn't exactly true. You see, I did try. I got around halfway through before "giving up", but I still left the film running on the background while I went surfing the net, and glanced it every so often till the end.It's not like I have the shortest attention span, and couldn't stand watching a slow movie. Not at all, but the slowness still has to have a purpose, and the film must lead to somewhere - Somewhere didn't.I also couldn't find any underlying message or meaning to the film whatsoever. It's shot OK, and has some nice scenery, but nothing of particular interest, and nothing that would set it apart from other modern films (except perhaps no CGI, if that should be a merit).In essence, Somewhere is an exercise in boredom. Just because the main character is bored and without purpose, doesn't mean the audience should feel that way too. For someone with a wildly hectic lifestyle, something like this might be a welcome break, but my life is boring enough as it is.Somewhere did not entertain. 2.5/10

Lilian Larwood (lilian-larwood) I figured that 2 is a funny number to rate a film on IMDb. It ain't the worst thing ever however clearly not the best thing ever. But I don't think that all films should be rated 1 for being truly awful because at least they tried to make something that looks like they went a long way for it. At least that's what I thought about for most films. But again, that is obviously a matter of opinion HOWEVER in Sofia Coppola's 'Somewhere' it is the closest thing I could think of for hating a film which is a rare feeling for me. The laziness of making a film just because her father's got millions astounds me. If she didn't have money (and I mean NOTHING out of it) then the quality would've been the exact same thing.Not only that but I felt that it was painfully boring! My god, the sheer amount of pills I had to take to keep awake has become somewhat routine for me during that hour and a half of nothingness. The only thing I think this film is decent enough for my life is simply using it to GO TO SLEEP. Like play it just before sleepy-time and I would get the best sleep ever! Don't get me started on the characters (but I'm going to anyway). The character of Johnny Marco was dry, dull, boring and was just... nothing to the story. I understand that it was about a Hollywood star with no life (at least that's what I thought it was about) but nobody seemed to care! I felt nothing for the character, no sympathy, no heart-felt moments for him, nothing! The only character with energy was Chris Pontius's character which was great improvising by the way with Cleo as apparently he's good with kids in real life.But going back to my title - how did Sofia Coppola get a budget for making nothing!? Because her dad's super successful and famous. I really don't think that some Coppola's should be in the film-making industry, at least not for Sofia's in that way. Only Francis Ford-Coppola and his many years of realising that he's awesome for making The Godfather etc. Sofia went "I wanna make films" and we're going "Pfft! Sure you can!" (sarcastically). Don't get me wrong I quite liked 'Lost in Translation' as I thought it was sweet and pretty but again, typical Sofia with her dry narrative 'skills'.She had pretty much everything to make this film: Great actors, producers with cash - lots of it, locations, music choice. However he messed it all up with her unimaginative mind and writing on the script which might as well be scwiggly lines. No point whatsoever! A very empty film with a weird beginning, a boring middle and an unsatisfying ending. Either watch it for A: Cause you need to get to sleep, or B: Because you wanna slit your wrists with a blade cause you hate life but you just need that extra push to make you snap and finally do it.
