I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Best movie ever!
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
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.
It made me laugh right away. It is great film about the strange way life happens. Maybe it hit a cord with me. I think everyone should give this film a chance. You will find something in it that relates to you."I never wanted to be called a good loser,Show me a good loser and I'll just show you a loser"This was a good comedy, that did not have to resort to gross out gags.Directors today just do not take the time to really craft a movie.The darts, Moira Kelly even makes an appearance! It was great to see them together all these years after the Cutting Edge! John C. McGinley's has always been funny but he shines in this film!I say thank you DB Sweeney, the cast and the crew!
One of the best "guy" stories ever. Amid really waking up to the disappointments of life after high school, the three guys recognize the strength and depth of the bonds of friendship along their journey. As a female on the edge of 40 I thought it was very realistic and heartfelt. I loved the humor along the journey. I really loved the crocodile scenes. I felt like the car scene represented a turning point in the movie. Ed Harris was a great addition. I think D.B. Sweeney is a terrific actor, producer and director. I felt like I was a passenger...eagerly awaiting the next moment instead of the destination. Thanks for the wonderful ride.
Now that's it's 2008, who really has a care in the world about a guy like DB Sweeney, even back then he wasn't a big deal.Two Tickets to Paradise is an outlined story that's well and true where three friends hit the road under each of their personal circumstances. Again, a proved plot. The problem with this film, other than it's 'so bad it's compelling' title, is the script.Cliché after cliché three guys do the same things you've seen in every other road movie... and blow up vanna white's house.John C. McGinley's acting job is superb, especially compared to that of the late DB Sweeney's. (His career is dead, hence the late. though i hear he's moving to TV, good for him). Also, John C likely has the least awful character in the film.The score is so generic it actually feels like you're watching a third rate film from 1993, or Jeff Anderson's movie Now You Know (also set me back a few years, but at least that was more entertaining.) I mean, yah, i guess i enjoyed parts of it. But, the nerdy guy is annoying, DB tries to be this cool failed guitar player (with some rough influences, like some of the worst of classic rock) who has some strange relationship with a stripper, and John C is a gambler who's wife and kid leave him after the death of his father as well as a visit from one of his bookie's henchmen.I keep thinking up ways to make this movie better. But i think burning the script would have been a healthy start.But, as i've hinted this whole time, it's not the worst movie ever. And any chance i have to see McGinley in a starring role, i'll take it. Hopefully he starts getting some better projects.
After meeting DB during the Santa Fe Film Festival I wanted to check out his movie. I had already planned to go to the film but a few changes happened at the first showing. I promised him I would definitely go to the 2nd and I am glad I did. It had great humor, and a heart. It took me back to the times I spend with my childhood friends which have been friends for over 30 years. The trials we had through the years keeping our friendships together and how we made it through the roughest spots and remained friends. I thank you "DB" for making this film and your kindness in talking to me at the Santa Fe Film Festival. I am looking forward to your next project. Please contact me when you release this film I would like to purchase a copy for my friends in Oklahoma. Continued success in your career and life. The film also included great cinema photography, great acting, and surprises which I will not tell here you will have to see it when it comes to your town :) Thank you for the opportunity to see this great film.
