nonconformist's rating
With a 5.1 I was not expecting too much. You imagine how shocked I was to see I movie I would give a nine rating. The more I thought about it the more I realized it was the dark nature of the subject matter. Many people don't like movies about real life, choosing escape instead. Or they prefer an assault on the senses. I know my wife would hate the movie, but then she watches "dance moms". No it doesn't have a lot of action or thrills but it caught me totally off guard and left me with some dark thoughts. I won't even begin to describe the movie. I couldn't without giving it away. You know what kind of person you are, and don't pay any attention to the rating number. I think it's a gem.
I didn't laugh one time. Not once. I thought Will Ferrel was kind of funny on SNL But he isn't funny in movies. I wasn't surprised Ed Asner would be in something of such low quality but I was kind of surprised James Caan would. Caan should know better. It tries to be funny but falls flat. It tries to be heart warming but the try is faint and fails. The love element is all but embarrassing for the lady in the movie and unbelievable for the audience. Movies like this aren't supposed to great art but they are supposed to be entertaining on at least a child like level but Elf just can't even manage that. Don't waste the time with this dud.
I've always said I've never seen Russell Crowe in a good movie and this one is no exception. I know people love westerns and I do too but this movie just stinks. First off it has every cliché in the book and it would take days to tell about every stupid action taken by the characters. I could have overlooked some of these faults but it has an ending that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I've seen some dumb endings but this one is a whopper. I defy anyone to explain it.
I cannot believe these high ratings. The quality of movies being made just keeps sinking lower and lower.
I think I'll rent to old one and watch it.
