Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

capone666 The Other SisterYou know that you are the black sheep of your family when you have to spend the entire family reunion locked in the attic.Thankfully, modern laws forbid the parents in this romantic-comedy from confining their disabled daughter.Returning home to her ashamed parents (Diane Keaton, Tom Skerritt) after an extended stint at a special needs boarding school, Carla (Juliette Lewis) has a hard time adhering to her stern mother's house rules - so she leaves.Eventually she starts dating a mentally disabled boy, Daniel (Giovanni Ribisi), causing even more tension between her and her mother. Their subsequent wedding is the final straw and Carla's mother refuses to attend the nuptials.Slapped together by sentimental schlockmeister Garry Marshall, this awkward attempt at constructing a developmentally disabled love story panders to base emotions. Meanwhile, Lewis and Ribisi's performances are profoundly poisonous.Besides, if retarded people can get married why can't the mentally disabled?Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

inspectors71 Whatever wisdom I have tells me to learn from the tribulations of others and to accept that, for the most part, nothing that's happened to me can compare with the worst that nature can throw at my fellow man. I am fortunate to be healthy, to have a loving wife, and an almost normal middle schooler (who would accuse any kid in 8th grade of being normal?). My child has a full set of working brain cells and, even though I work with a number of cognitively delayed children in a high school, I don't know what it's like to try to raise a child who will never come up to the intellectual equal of the middle of the Bell Curve.With this in mind, I entered into the contract of watching Gary Marshall's The Other Sister, hoping that I'd learn something about mentally retarded children and their desire to be independent, to be considered self-actualized, to be free.What I got were fine performances by Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi, and just another story of the trials and tribulations of the UMC. The second I saw the poshness of the Tate's digs, my defensive distrust of what I was seeing kicked into high gear.Why couldn't Gary Marshall have told the story of a middle class family, struggling with money the way their daughter struggles with the subtleties, the nuances of human intellect? Tom Skerritt would have been a high school math teacher and Diane Keaton would have been something other than Diane Keaton. The story would have been shot in Pocatello, Idaho instead of San Francisco. There would have been no Poppy Montgomery (looking luscious as usual) and no lesbian subplot to give the whole thing a patina of Family Stone gracious living. It would be smelly work shirts and dirty fingernails, and trying to get Carla a place to live within the family budget. Now that would have been a movie!

Derek McCallan Directed by Garry Marshall, "The Other Sister" is supposed to be a romantic comedy about two mentally challenged people that meet and fall in love. Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis), after being put away for a few years, returns home from a private boarding school to her wealthy family in the Bay area. While dealing with an overprotective and overbearing mother (Diane Keaton), Carla enrolls in the local community college, meets Danny (Giovanni Ribisi), falls in love, and decides to move out on her own. It seems that "The Other Sister" goes out of it's way to make retarded people look cute and act funny. Giovanni Ribisi is pretty good with his role but what is up with Juliette Lewis? I thought she was amazing as the dim-witted and simple-minded Adele in 1993's "Kalifornia". I just thought the performance was a little over the top. All in all, you have a movie with a really great cast that just sinks a little below average. A little preachy and glossy, it would have been better if it hadn't tried to be so damn cute and overdo itself. At just a over two hours running length, it could have used a little trim job as well.But hey, there's a lot worse movies out there that you could rent.Juliette Lewis has interesting cameos in "Romeo is Bleeding" (great movie) and "Strange Days" (not so great a movie).

razzardi i know a one is a little low.. but now exactly for this movie... i am not under rating it in the least, it was horrible, i did not believe for one minute on any of it, th plot was week, and there wasn't anything to it... it was the biggest waste of life..who wants to see a movie with poor acting, no plot as well as nothing good about it? i totally do not recommend this to anyone.. not even if you are bored.. if you want to watch a good movie about the mentally retarded watch I Am Sam.. i great movie with good acting but i tell you folks Do Not watch this.. i warn you it will most likely anger you...like it had angered me, well thats all i had to say.
