Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Silas Parker (James Franco) is a petty criminal on parole. He can't leave the state, but his newly wed wife Camille Foster (Sienna Miller) insists on going to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. Lucky for her, his parole officer (Scott Glenn) is her uncle. When they get into an accident on the road, the movie goes in a strange direction.Silas is a moody guy frustrated with hyper-talkative Camille. He doesn't necessarily want to marry her, but her uncle wouldn't be too happy. They're just not a likable couple. Their fights do wear on the audience. She's hopelessly manic and romantic.This is a movie where the story is trying to push it into quirkiness, and most of times it fails. Sienna Miller is pushing her comfort zone with this talkative wacky character. She doesn't always pull it off. James Franco needs to be more desperate. He could never get into that character.
I am giving this two stars for the two lead actors, James Franco and Sienna Miller. One star for each who had to give their time to this ridiculous script. Here is my thought on how the writer came up with this script. Drop Acid>Go To Daughters Room>Play with Strawberry Patch Dolls (for "strawberry festival and wig reference") and Care Bears (for "rainbow over Niagra Falls reference"). >Drop More Acid>Put in Wizard of Oz Video (for "horse of a different color reference".) Rip out tape and puts in his old Kung Fu VideoS (for "David Carradine Asian and Otherworldly Wisdom reference".) >Drop more acid fall back on bean bag and dream a Shakespeare dream of Romeo and Juliet.Give me a break I could go on about this horrible movie, but I am even more bored writing this than I was watching it. O I forgot to mention the ("cinderalla reference") when Sienna glows in the grass and rises from her deep sleep thanks to the help of her prince. To the writer, STOP DOING DRUGS AND GET OUT OF YOUR DAUGHTERS BEDROOM. Please stop writing failure Folk Tales.I love you James and Sienna but please be more discerning next time.
What a truly moronic movie, all I can say is the writer must be very fond of magic mushrooms and LSD because this must be the result of one of his 'trips'.You follow the whole movie thinking alright this is very weird but hey I'm sure at the end there will be a perfectly good explanation for all of this... Only to be disappointed to find erm no there's no explanation at all and the twist at the end makes it even more confusing. At the end of the movie you'll probably have the same facial expression as if you were standing in a Que paying for you groceries and the merchant told you, that'll be 11.95 please and proceeded to elbow you in the balls for no apparent reason. There are so many factors in this movie that go unexplained and I think it leaves it to the imagination of the viewer in an entirely bizarre way. Don't get me wrong I like weird movies, 'The Cell' could easily be described as weird and twisted but in my eyes it's a brilliant movie (despite casting J-Lo who I dislike to the maximum even that didn't manage to sway my opinion). This isn't one of those movies, and I think you should take in to consideration the characters of those who praise this movie. I can tell you they are probably the sort of people that would go to an art exhibition, see a splat of pigeon excrement on a white board and say "Oooooh what a masterpiece, the artist has truly found a unique way to portray eternity" when in actual fact all it is, is bird excrement on a board.Keep that last bit in mind when watching this movie, Thanks for reading!
Boy, is this one different movie. It totally bombed on previews and pretty much went straight to DVD, and no one's heard much of it since. A pity, because it's not THAT bad, even if it's entire premise is completely absurd. Bad-boy James Franco marries Sienna Miller, the niece of his parole officer, in order to get of the States. Franco can barely stand Camille ("Sometimes I just want to punch her in the head!"), who is madly in love with her "Tiger", blind to his faults and heartbroken when he leaves her at a gas station on their honeymoon motorcycle trip (she's riding sidecar). But then Camille dies. And becomes "undead"! Yes, that is where the film becomes ridiculous, with Miller walking around undead but actually in the process of dying (she starts to physically decay). I'm confused too. Franco falls in love with Miller, amidst thefts, blue horses and a cross-country chase for Franco, who is mistakenly thought to have murdered his wife. But somehow, amidst all the crazy, inane happenings, "Camille" becomes moving and memorable. Miller's love is so strong that it can't be stopped even in death, and it's really just a different kind of love story. Franco hates the movie (he blasted it in an interview) but he's pretty good in it, as is Miller, who consistently does excellent work but never gets noticed for it (see her wonderful work in "The Edge of Love" for instance). And they have some nice chemistry together. Not a good film by any means, but kind of sweet in it's own odd way.
