I love quality and campy films with a significant and not-so-significant messages. To make my "faves" list, they gotta leave me with SOMETHING!

  • No "Love" here... just "DISASTER!"

    Ugh. I had the misfortune of renting this DVD and couldn't even get through more than the first 20 minutes of it before deciding it was an utter piece of crap, turning it off, and immediately ejecting it from my player. And I am usually the type of person who always finishes watching a movie. But with this one, I just couldn't bear to give it one more second of my time. I first became suspect that this film was going to be tedious when these words that described the main character--Emily Jackson, portrayed by Brittany Murphy (preciously nicknamed "Jacks")--came on the screen in the very beginning: "Jacks works at U.K. Vogue, and though technically British, speaks in a cross between an English and American accent that suggests a childhood spent in America." What was this, I wondered--some sort of disclaimer?!?!? I bet Keanu Reeves wished he'd had this sort of statement to excuse his awful performance as an Englishman in 1992's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' or better yet... when Kevin Costner sadly attempted his infamous now-you-hear-it-now-you-don't British accent in 1991's 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.' I couldn't help but be wary and with good reason: her hybrid accent sucked anyway. Anyway, like I said--I couldn't even get through the first 20 minutes. It was absolutely excruciating to watch Ms. Murphy's blatant ripoff of Audrey Hepburn-as-Holly Golightly in the modern world. It's been sooooo DONE before, Sweetie. And done way better, for that matter (see Parker Posey in 1995's 'Party Girl' for a way superior and much more likable performance). And the plot? Merely seeming like just another version of Jane Austen's 'Emma.' Done, done, done. Tired, tired, tired. Plus, she is just trying waaaaaay too hard. Already, the dialogue lacked any true wit or originality and I didn't care one bit about the one-dimensional and dull characters. Plus, if I had to watch Brittany screw up her dumb-looking face into one more unattractive facial expression in her pathetic attempt to adorably(?!?!) EMOTE, I was going to roll my eyes up into the back of my head so far that I was afraid they wouldn't come back down to their normal position. Please do yourself a huge favor: avoid this waste of time at all costs. No "Love" here, folks... merely one big "DISASTER."

  • Non-plausibility made for a poor "sequel"

    I too watched this lame movie today and was sooooo amazed that whoever made this piece of crap actually had the gall to expect that the fans of the original movie could get past the fact that the girl in this movie was waaaay too old to be the daughter of Doug and Kate. And although it would be way too much to hope that D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly could reprise their original roles, the actors that DID end up portraying them in this movie look WAY TOO OLD as well! 14 years wouldn't age the characters THAT much!?!?! Thanks SO MUCH to the IMDb poster "coulombe" for your comment that describes in specific detail the glaring chronological facts vs. discrepanices of this poor flick. I couldn't believe that his/her comment and my comment seem to so far be the ONLY user comments that point out these gross chronological errors (in fact, "coulombe" should just copy and paste his/her whole comment into the "Goofs" section of this movie... if he/she doesn't, I'm thinking of doing so!!!). I can't believe anyone who would applaud this piece of trash that tries to purport itself as great family fare. And the review of poster "Lu-21" from the Philappines sounds like he/she got paid by the movie's producers to write all the positive stuff he/she did. I just don't get how someone could be so duped otherwise. On top of the movie's storyline being a poor copy of the original's plot, I just can't stomach the absurd suspension of disbelief that these types of movie makers expect us to buy just because they want to capitalize with these inferior "sequels." It insults the integrity of the viewer. I guess the movie's makers were simply hoping that any fans of the original movie wouldn't tune in and that they could capture an audience of teenage girls who wouldn't know any better. Well, I for one, am disgusted. This movie is hardly a "companion piece"--it should just be tossed into the bin of other straight-to-video or made-for-TV sequels to be FORGOTTEN. It's unfortunate too... I agree with "coulombe" in his/her observation that it would have been a way more buy-able story premise if portrayed at the next Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Sad, sad, sad! Dumb, dumb, DUMB! Don't waste your time!!!

  • These young actors hold a lot of promise...

    I rented this movie after recently seeing Victor Rasuk brilliantly portray the famously brash and ego-driven skateboarder, Tony Alva, in the very entertaining 'Lords of Dogtown.' I was so taken with his performance as well as those of the other young male actors in that film, that I've embarked on a mission to watch previous films they have starred in. I saw Gus Van Sant's 'Elephant' for John Robinson and next on the list is Emile Hirsch in 'The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.' I am convinced that as these young men get older, they will be INCREDIBLE actors. I see in them a potential similar to that of a forever young River Phoenix who, tragically, never got to fulfill that full potential.

    I am, so far, most impressed with Vistor Rasuk's acting. I think he's really genuine and that quality truly shines in his performance in 'Raising Victor Vargas.' In fact, the intense chemistry between Rasuk and the other players (including what I assume is his own real-life brother, Silvestre Rasuk, playing his brother Nino in the film since they share the same last name and look SO MUCH alike!) is what really made this film so enjoyable for me. I loved the progression of his character--all swaggering in the beginning and then towards the end, his vulnerability is gradually and touchingly revealed to the audience. Also, I thought the interaction between him and the female object of his romantic pursuit, played by Judy Marte (who, like Rasuk, has the same first name of her character), was very convincing, endearing, and sometimes adorably comical. I was totally rooting for these two characters to get together! Her resistance and his persistence is very fun to watch unfold.

    I watched the movie with a girlfriend who was getting so disgusted with all of Victor's "playah"-type come-on's and gestures. "Ewwwww! I've known guys like him! They're so GROSS!" she cried out at one point. Now, I personally didn't perceive the character of Victor as being "gross." I thought he ACTED like a jerk sometimes, but he wasn't A JERK himself... DEFINITELY not like those creeps who would shout obscene cat-calls at and accost poor Judy on the street. I replied to my friend: "I don't think Victor's 'gross'... he's just troubled." He's dealing with many pressures as a young Latin male in today's world: feeling compelled to play that obnoxious "macho" role that, due to heavy social stigma, he believes will validate his manhood; dealing with a challenging home life/living situation/family relationships; and heavy guilt over his sexual exploits that stems from a strict Catholic upbringing, to name a few. Throughout the film, he is battling all these issues in a fight to just be HIMSELF and be true to his feelings.

    You actually get the sense that everyone--not just Victor--is playing a certain "role" in the story... putting up some kind of front with their personality and behavior in order to protect themselves and cling to some sense of what they think is normal. Judy pretends to be tough and man-hating on the outside when she really just wants to meet a boy who understands and respects her. Victor's little sister--Vicki--puts up a tough front, being hostile and teasing with Victor, when she really just wants to be loved romantically and escapes her pain by hanging out on the couch all day watching bad TV. Victor's younger brother Nino puts on a show for his grandmother in being the good little Catholic boy, playing beautiful musical ditties on the piano in order to appease her while he is actually deeply ashamed on because he's started to secretly masturbate in the bathroom on a regular basis... a perfectly NORMAL thing for pubescent young men to do. The grandmother, as well-intentioned as she is, hides behind her devout Catholic faith in order to mask any true understanding and acceptance of REAL emotional and physical changes taking place with her teenage grandchildren. They're growing up fast in a gritty environment, discovering their sexuality, dealing with immense peer pressure, etc. Seeing all three of the kids forced to share one bedroom really makes you feel sorry for them. It's like they have nothing that is truly their OWN yet.

    Even Judy's best friend, Melonie, has a psychological wall of resistance in place with Victor's friend who romantically pursues HER. She doesn't trust him from the very beginning but slowly, in spite of herself, she starts warming up to him.

    In my view, this film is all about the stripping away of layers... disarming the defensive mechanisms that we all have in place as human beings so that we can get in touch with our own TRUE self or that of someone else. The director has done a poignant job of depicting these kids in an unfiltered yet beautiful light and in turn, these promising young actors pull it off with amazing results. Especially Mr. Rasuk. I hope to see him in many more films. I don't really understand all the harsh criticisms people have of this movie--I thought it was a beautifully simple story with life lessons that can be understood and appreciated across ethnic, racial, and cultural lines. To me, a VERY meaningful film!
