    Cute little movie

    I found "Suddenly Unexpected" a cute little movie. It is very good for a low budget independent movie. I liked both of the lead actors and thought they worked well together. The movie was a little slow at first but once they got in the truck with the old man it was very funny.

    I wouldn't call this the worst movie ever, oh wait, yes, I would....

    This year the Bennifer flop "Gigli" was panned unmercifully by critics. Perhaps some of that criticism should have been given to this disaster of a movie. Read the plot summary? Seen a picture of two missionaries, an old man and a dog? Then you've seen the movie. Save your seven dollars and seventy minutes of your time. Fifteen minutes into the film I had to ask myself "Am I really watching this? Is this as awful as I think it is?" And the answer is yes, a thousand times, yes! Half way through it seemed like some bad documentary. Because they were definitely making it up as they went along. I think the plot summary for the movie was the script. Horrible acting, bad cinematography, awful editing and writing. Seeing this movie was like going through a great personal tragedy and coming out on top; every other movie seems to be just a little bit better than this one. And I saw Rugrats Go Wild! The best part of the movie was the end, after the credits, when we went out for ice cream.
