Pretty Broken

I go by these reviews and sat through an hour of this empty movie!! Not sure how they gave it 5 stars on Amazon?? I watch alot of movies and though the actors were doing their best...the story weaved in and out of despair for the missing father and made no sense to the story line!! And the lead young daughter needed a hair do!!!!! Her hair drove me crazy trying to watch and get the movie!! Not one I wanted to finish watching either!!

For once I don't agree with my wife about the rating of a movie. Most of the time we have the same taste and ratings but in this case I liked it more than my wife. Pretty Broken is a low budget movie, so no spectacular scenes or big names in this movie, but instead actors that did a pretty good job to make Pretty Bones worth watching once. Not that I will watch it again in the future but I certainly didn't regret watching it this time. Some reviewers scored it a ten, and that's ridiculous, as are the reviewers that scored it the lowest possible score. Pretty Broken is easy to watch, nothing difficult to understand, a story that is entertaining, maybe not with alot of action but that's not what you expect when watching a movie in this genre.

Who is laying reviewers to leave anything more than 1 out of 10. Slow, poor cinematography, zero humour and on and on. Just terrible.

I see a lot of low budget indies, so I have dubious expectations most of the time, going off mostly the trailer but sometimes not even that. In this case, I had not seen the trailer prior to watching the film. That said, I loved it! Really well done. I'm sure it was low budget since there were no real names in the cast, but it looked expensive. The script is very strong. The characters all felt like real people and the acting was terrific. Jillian was awesome, Tyler was awesome, Stacy was awesome. The music was really good. I liked the soundtrack a lot. And the sound itself was top notch. That's what made it feel big budget. But it was also shot well, felt like a confident film of an assured filmmaker. It was also funny and touching. I thought Brett and the team did a tremendous job. It really exceeded my expectations. There were some minor logic questions that made me raise an eyebrow, but nothing to stifle the enjoyment of the film. This would've been a mainstream movie if it had a movie star cast and in the heyday of Sundance (back when they accepted actually independent films), it would've been a Sundance film that people would've taken notice of. I'll be interested to see if this film catches on. I look forward to seeing the filmmaker's other films.

No real actors but they still did a great job. the story line was unique and heart warming. If you went into this expecting a comedy like some reviewers obviously did then you will be dissapointed. If you go into this with an open mind and don't give up after 30 minutes you will be left with a pretty impressive movie with amazing cinematography and a heartwarming finish that will leave you wanting to call mom and dad.
