It was ok. I wouldn't say it's this AWESOME movie that everyone else says it is.

[madd74]

Well I am not one of them, but of course, I have not seen it.

[sewcute]

well I am talking about the ones that HAVE seen it

[deceptions82]

I thought it was cute

[sewcute]

I would agree it was cute, but not this awesome movie some said it was.

[deceptions82]

Hm. No one told me it was awesome.
It was definitely not awesome. But maybe 14-16 yr old HS girls might find it to be awesome

I had a variety of people tell me that it was a good movie. From 20 somethings to 40 year olds.

so I am coming up on this subject a little late, but I actually have some thoughts here.

I did like the film and I really like this independent style. Napoleon Dynamite really nailed it and now its getting better attention. But the aspect of independent film that I like is the amateur'ishness of it. When Jennifer Garner is in the movie, it looks like nothing more than a marketing ploy to me.

I'm hoping not too many more big budgets copy this style. If they do, the magic of it will be gone.

[sewcute]

I think genres like this movie is kind of where we are headed to

[madd74]

Yeah, I agree on this one. I mean, I hear a lot about indie movies, they even have a pay channel dedicated to it (which, if you watch, is litered with commercials, a warning on what I am saying is becoming true). If you watch a lot of the movies, they seem to be going from indie to main stream. They are starting to throw some "big" names in there. Take Park, for example, a movie I caught on there. One big name was a Baldwin (I think Alec, maybe Steve, difficult to tell them all apart). Now the movie was good in and of itself, and I do not remember this movie ever hitting the big screen, but there are many reasons for that, I feel.

So, as long as things make money, I think that is all that Big Screen cares about, and that is the way things will go towards.
