I tried to get through Somebody That I Use Know, but it was a struggle. Actually, I gave up after an hour and fifteen minutes. I am certain I saw enough to know I did not care for it. No spoilers here. I won't rehash what other reviewers have correctly pointed out about this film's abundant weak points. For me, the worst part was not being able to appreciate any of the relationships portrayed in this saga. On a more positive note, the locations were really beautiful Also, I can honestly say that the only two characters with legitimate chemistry were Alison Brie and Danny Pudi (real life friends from their years on Community).

I recently saw this movie for the first time. I love Sally Field and Ed Harris, so I thought, why not. I was completely sucked in. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I did not try to guess how it would end. The conclusion came as a complete surprise. I liked watching the female lead character getting stronger after going through a horrible situation.

It also made me think about how, as a woman, I need to be more aware of myself and my surroundings. All drama, music and pretty cinematography set aside, this movie relayed a message to me.

My idea of a good movie is one you still want to think about for days or weeks after you've seen it. This was a good movie.

I don't have Showtime, but I'm lucky enough to have cable. I just caught a marathon of the Chris Isaak show on VH1. What a treat. I found the show to be funny, down to earth, reverent (to rock & roll) and insightful. The blend of quirkiness, music and backstage antics will be enough for me to tune in regularly.
