The movie is awesome. An inspiring movie. From the start to end, you can relate yourself to the lead character. Mr. Ben has done a very good thing by giving us this movie.Everyone wants to escape their boring life and for a guy who has taken his job seriously and with love, the pursuit for the cover is perfectly justified. I am going for a job, boring of course. I wanted to be an actor. Now I have started pushing towards the thing I love. Loved the movie.
You know those wallpapers on windows XP, pretty cool, right? Imagine if you had the chance of taking a picture in one of these places, that would be extra cool, wouldn't it?That is the foundation on which this movie was built.The only thing that people seem to agree on after watching the movie was it's amazing cinematography (shoot, that was a hard word to spell). Problem is that the director and the cinematographer tricked us into thinking that by doing the thing I said in the 1st paragraph.Wanna know how to figure out whether you're being tricked or not? check out the most boring scenes in the movie (ex: shot - reverse shot scenes) and see if you still think it's great.The music choices in this movie were really cheesy, I mean come on you can't use "Space Oddity" by Bowie and expect me not to get goosebumps, I hear someone saying "then how is it cheesy?" I never said the music itself was cheesy, I said the music CHOICES were, although all the other tracks here were.Every character in this movie were super-duper cliched except Sean Penn's character... he was entertaining (shame he's in the movie for like 5 minutes).Acting? Can someone stop Ben Stiller from trying, cuz I'm starting to doubt he even does anymore, I'm sure that he's a funny guy in real life, but here his delivery is really off, and since he's the director on this one, the 'visual comedy' wasn't really comedic at all.Anyway if you watched the trailer and thought "hmmm, I might enjoy that" then go watch it, just remember that this is 114 minutes you're never getting back.
A most beautiful movie we have now seen 4 times. Stunning cinematography, beautiful story, meaning, script and message. Wonderful acting and plenty of light humorous moments. Just a beautiful, uplifting, hugely entertaining movie.
Brilliantly shot, bridges the gap perfectly between the reel and real lives of our lives! This definitely is a surprise package, has a refreshing soundtrack to go with some impeccable cinematography! Im surely seeing Ben Stiller in new light hereon! Just sit back and feel refreshed! I'm surprised and really don't care about the low IMDb / Rotten tomatoes ratings!
