I just watched this film, and I came on here to see if I'd missed something that I really should have paid attention to! I really cant help but think 'Geez, that's an hour and 40 minutes of my life that I'll never get back!'

I must admit that I think the acting was great, Juliana Moore was amazing and so was Noah Wyle, but what was the point of the sister and the other brother? What was going on with the brothers blonde girlfriend? she was perky and had some personality but it went nowhere... the story was just so slow and - how do I put this? non descript!

If you want to see a film with a dysfunctional family, inappropriate relationships, humour and an answer to the questions posed during the movie, then watch The Family Stone...now THAT'S a movie worth seeing.

Yeah, actually I ended up enjoying the film...but I just couldn't believe how bad the script and some of the acting was.

How can I put this?........Miami Vice is basically a watered down version of Bad Boys. It's Bad Boys without the humour, class script, top notch special effects and quality acting. In fact, Miami Vice doesn't even match up to the original TV series...I'd go as far as saying that the TV series had better effects, better acting and sharper scripts...with a sense of humour too.

Colin Farrell is a handsome guy, there's no doubt there, but in the film, his acting was very patchy, and the script didn't help - the dodgy lines came thick and fast though, which help me get over the hurdles! Jamie Foxx didn't have any decent lines either, I was expecting at least some dry wit or some good put downs...but this film had none of that, there was no soul.

But somehow, I ended up enjoying it, and I'll go and see a sequel if it happens. But If it goes ahead then I just hope that the director takes on the project, keeping in mind that he needs to engage a good screenwriter...and someone with a sense of humour!
