The Worst Film Ever

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The trailer is rather heavy, but be warned the actual movie is totally different!I really love some of director Jason Reitmans work, but this movie was forced upon Reitman by the hollywood studios, after his last movie flopped. Reitman had little control over the end product. His talent still shines through, but the end product is a boring mess, because the studios began interferring with the creative process in order to sell this depressing story at the box office. It failed miserably anyway...The problem is that this movie starts out pretty good. When I started watching it, I really was into it. Because of the great actors in it, I got seduced in watching it anyway, thinking it would be another great Reitman movie. WRONG. This is one of those movies that slowly grinds to a halt. The story is just a mess. There are way to many different characters. The movie lasts for 2 hours! Probably it is trying to be true to the story of the original book, but films that literally copy the storyline of books are often complete failures at the box office.The Internet in itself is neither good nor bad, it's how it's used that matters. Reitman tries to tackle the matter of how technology is retarding the way we relate to one another. For those who just came out of a cave and have never heard of the internet, yes for those ex-cave dwellers this would be the ideal movie! For anyone else this movie wil work better than a sleeping pill, because it is mindnumbingly boring and pointless.

If you like witty comedy or action movie violence look away. But if you like hard hitting drama with brilliant story telling fantastic acting and a serious and relevant plot then Men, Women and Children is perfect. M,W&C is a modern classic that forces the watcher to see the real world impact of sex, high school gossip and the internet. From porn addiction and peer pressure to the video game phenomenon that effects the vast majority of the western world's young adults this film not only shows the struggle of the parents but also an incitefull view at the teenage aspects of life

It's rare that anyone can make you care about all the characters in a particular movie, but this cast and crew did exactly that. An awesome script handled with precision by actors who know their craft and directed by someone who obviously understood the material much better than most.I really am amazed that this movie kept me totally engaged the entire time. The pacing was perfect. I felt so strongly for the characters, each and every one of them, and they pretty much all broke my heart.How the Internet affects us and how that affects our personal and intimate relationships is a pretty big deal, and this movie forces us to take a long hard look at this brave new world.This is truly a "Must See" movie.

Jason Reitman's take on the "online world". The entire movie revolves around teenagers and grownups communicating using the internet (especially using their mobiles, but not just). It's like "Magnolia" in the digital age. At times it feels like a script by a grandpa trying to be "hip" and current with today's online world. At other times it feels like a mirror of today's society and how people (dis)communicate through apps, texting, gaming and websites (social, dating, pornography). It seems there isn't a single social app or website the movie doesn't include.All in all, this movie is so-so. I think the it's intended more for teenagers.Good stuff: 1. Good acting by the entire cast, including usually-bad actors like Adam Sandler and Jennifer Garner. 2. The ending is good.
