Alright Now

I don't know what people expected but I really don't understand why there is so much hate towards this movie. It was exactly what I wanted it to be. The lead character Joanne is an extraverted, outspoken person who says and does whatever she wants. She makes people uncomfortable trom time to time and that's what makes her real. She doesn't have her life even remotely figured out. The movie shows life exactly as it is. Improvisation is the point of the whole thing. There are no great lines, suprising twists or love at first sight. It's everyday events that lead to people forming bonds with each other . I think the movie is great and you should give it a try.

So hard to relate and therefore unable to say I actually enjoyed the movie. 2 minutes in I thought what the heck go and have a beer and a steak and enjoy the evening, but no I last the 95 minutes. Damn

I was expecting very little from this movie. From the Blu-ray cover, I thought I'd make it through 10 minutes before turning it off. The first few "documentary" style minutes were not very good. But, once it got down to the narrative, this was a thoroughly entertaining love story.

To appreciate this, you need to be able to watch very low budget, almost home made quality movies. The acting and characters made up for the unpleasing visual aesthetic. This is from the UK, so it's character driven, not standard 3-Act-Structure.

For what it is, it's damn entertaining. I know I'll watch again, actually quite a few more times.

It's a keeper.

What happens when you mix a mediocre script with a bad director? Actors will suffer for life. Coby will have to cover this shameful tattoo of a film all her career. I don't know much about the editor who will be another innocent casualty of sorry filmmaking. Above and beyond the script lacks enough dialogue to fill up a commercial or a 4 minutes trailer. Jesus, Paul and all the prophets tricks couldn't have saved the day. Oh and the music section : what up with that. I am now very curious to watch more by the same director to see how he has managed to get this monstrosity financed. I should have known better when I saw the 4.1 rating which is uber generous.

This is an improvisational piece filmed in five days by Jamie Adams. Cobie Smulders plays Joanne, a 90's rock musician who enrolls in college after her band breaks up.Then fate brings her together with super sexy Peter (Richard Elis). This is a story about a girl who thinks she is everything and a man who lacks confidence coming together and finding love. Don't watch and expect a big production, this movie is like reality; stumbling people, clumsy, awkward and chaotic. All the things people criticized this movie for are actually the things that make this movie stand out and make it real. Cobie did a great job playing the rock musician. If you think she was loud and over the top, that was probably what she was aiming for, but all credits for making this movie great go to Richard for bringing sweetness and sensitivity.
