I am a Chespirito's fan from 1980's, and wanted to see this production with expectation. The cast is amazing, some characters are very similar to actual actors (Clotilde and Villagrán mainly).
The problem is the script and direction. In some scenes you can tell the lack of production, not carefully filming. They could do it better overall in El Chavo del 8 sketches that every fan knows very well.
Florinda Meza (Margarita/Maggie) and other "villain" characters looks a little forced, you cannot tell they were like personification.
Son, summarly this is a nice production with big flaws. Meanwhile many fans looks for more information on web.

The story revolves around a mentally troubled character with a low level of intelligence. It is not clear whether his experience in Vietnam has much or little to do with it, but suffering from insomnia one might think so.
In any case, a couple of nightmare-like images could make this issue clear. The scenes of him trying to conquer a beautiful woman are very uncomfortable to watch (maybe that's the idea) but at least to me it seemed incongruous with many of the later actions of the protagonist.
I give them credit for the images in certain scenes, for the crudeness of the environment in which the plot develops, but at least to me they seemed like simple accessories to an extremely flat story, with very slow attempts at twists that lose effect on the viewer.
In short, it is a very overrated work. Excellent performance by De Niro.

It starts as drama, very interesting movie, with good acting, and semi original dialogues. You can not tell it is a terror movie in the first hour, asking yourself if the argument description was correct. Suddenly paranormal event occured now and then, inmersing you in a quite intriguing story. But, then it starts what we have been seeing for decades. Same exorcising stuff, with the same CGI of other cheap movies...
At the end you thank this same old thing lasts less than half hour.
The most interesting thing about this story is what you can google next day about real Latoya Ammons family !!!

It is not the best movie of the year, but you can enjoy 2 hours of a interenting thriller/action movie. It touches somehow your most inner feelings about love between two young adults.
It is notorious the german touch in action scenes (not so Hollywood, which I appreriate).
Nice acting, not the best, let's say: according to a sunday movie.
I like the ending, not so expecting, and giving the feeling it could be a second part without so much effort.
If you want a simple, well structured action movie, this is it. This is why you cannot despise every Netflix movie. After all they can invest in foreign nice movies...

It is a very good quality movie, since it was made in Argentina with some spanish investment, I was very impressed with acting, editing and camera managing. Thus, I am glad to offer 7 stars out of 10.
You can imagine some aspects of the story right from the begining (love, frienship, rivality, etc), but you cannot tell what the end is going to be. And that is most precious thing about the movie: it's a twist that you cannot expect. But one that you can totally justify according to characters.
But, it is not one of the top ten movies made in Latin America, at most is in top 20 maybe.
Nevertheless, you have to see it. Enjoy !

I am giving 4 stars cause make laugh real hard for 5 min... and that's it.
Not so much to say. Just another lousy movie. Weak jokes, real simply script (not saying as a positive thing).
Exagerated acting. Real akward moments.
Well, if you are a easy-laugh person, maybe this is your kind of movie.
You can easily guess what is the end of the story. It is nice to see Sandra Oh in a role. Farrel is not of my favorites, but that's ok with his character. Awkwafina some kind of irritaring most of scenes.
Well, not so much to say, I repeat. Don't waste your time and money, there are more comedies to see.

Surprisingly good. Not the best, just a pleasant, well telled movie/documentary.
What I most enjoyed is that It is not a pretentious film. Evenly, they make fun of themselves.. You can enjoy flashbacks of that years, with good music and events around the story.
About acting, those guys made a good job. They are carismatic. And you can tell real Milli Vanilli reacted the same way to all voragine they caused.
At the end you can relate with this guys, figuring what you could react to all proposals ther received. And comparing to current music with all the tecnology helping them.
As they said back days: They made a pact with the devil.

At first this movie caught your interest. Something new about it, maybe!
But no! Just another movie about some crazy lady that likes to "solve" justice by herself.
Questionable acting. Poor character development. Ok with outfits, just saying something nice.
I couldnt finish it.
Overall, is nice to see Katie Holmes acting. She is refreshing no matter age. And about romantic scenes, they look completely akward. Yes, maybe is intentional, but you can tell that, because of the poor directing.
So, if you want to see a B-movie, this is your choise. Not expect more than that. You could forget about it 5 min after the end.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some aspects about this movie, but there are many thing to say about it.
First of all, acting was the best part of it. Lupita is a really good actress. The other guy did it good as well. CGI good enough.
The problem here is a narrative matter.
You can understand that keeping quiet is most valuable thing for the story, but not the only one. If this is "Day one" why don't spend some time explaining how aliens came from outterspace. What goverment and people do about it... They landed in spaceships? Are there some brains directing those horrible monsters? (they look like alien savage animals with no other mission besides destroy the humanity.
So, producers lost this chance to build a solid trama around it.

My gosh.... you build a nice plot, with very known and respectful cast, nice acting, escenic, etc... but you forget to finish it nicely... Why in the world you would think that is a good endind... Maybe they invest all the money (and brains) thinking about catching people interest in the story...
In the middle of the movie, you would think this a very interesting story, with many possibilities, you do not know for sure whats is going on out there, in cities, and in the whole country... very intriguing...
But, of course, writters were only paid to write it to that point... and then only a mediocre ending is ahead.
Where to start. At the begining you have a reasonable expectation of tension and some interesting story... But everything falls apart at first 60min of movie... Questionable acting, pretty obscure scenening... Not so much to say.
Maybe Nicolas Cage only asks for a good money when he select his movies... But for decades this actor only participate in very poor movies.
At the end of this movie, you only have questions, and you can count at leat 10 holes in script (why this and why that) Do not waste your time. There are a lot of post apocaliptic movie around instead of this one.... Thanks for this opp.

A pretty boring, unnecessarily slow movie. Acting was ok. Some dialogs maybe interesting... but at the end is forgettable movie. Adam Sandler is not a great actor, and you can find some other movies of him to spend a funny time. Space spider is ridiculous, and sometimes you can remember "Castaway" similarities, but nothing more than a rugged copy of that.... You can relate with the love story, but there is no explanation of the feelings they are going through. Actress did a good job, and Raj (from The Big Bang Theory) is something new for some of us, very refreshing for his career. Well, in summary: don't waste your time.
Not so much to say... An Sunday movie, with 4 o 5 funny scenes that repeat them selves over and over ... Ok acting and editing....but, for an Oscar reward.... No, man, noooo!
They took ideas from Ratatouille (more evident) and the matrix (not so evident) ir order to stuff more than 2 hours of unnecessary time.... Maybe a 1.5hrs movie tops.... This is an evidence of how low cinema has fall this time .. I hope more profound movies in near future to be at least considered for an Academy Award...
It is nice to see Jamie Lee Curtis in a funny role... But not so much to say about this... Please Hollywood make better movies.

I thought first 2 seasons were very pleasent to see, refreshing, intrigued. but everything falls apart in 3rd season (a lot of stuff was innecesary).
But, eventhou it's a great series to see.
Story sinks after 1 hour.... Not sure what is the conclusion of this movie.
But it keeps you interest for a while....
I will prevent you of seeing this movie in other times, but now we have a few choises
It is a sin to use "Freud" name for this awful series.
It is not a Freud semblance at all. maybe a boring thiller or horror movie...
It's a well built simple story. Nice twist at the end.
You end this film thinking that you have seen the same story over and over again for decades... Dont waste your time.
The only problem with this movie is the title, because it could make some people think about other "invisible man" stories , but this is not the case.
A "must see" movie
Making laugh is not an easy art, even though you have an excellent cast, director and scenography, as you can tell after seeing this not-funny comedy.
I'm surprised by this movie, since I didn't have high expectations.
Finale a little bit anticipated
If you want to film a comedy about something traumatic as II World War was you need a very bold and smart screenplay. None of these you have in Jojo Rabbit, if you take a movie as Life is beautiful, where you have everything.
BTW, main actor kid is adorable.
For a boring sunday, enjoyable, but "no taking serously" movie.
looking Adam Sandler in suspence and dramatic role is a plus. I personally like the ending, very original and somehow unexpecte.
Take a look.
Not so much to say: this movie is an excuse to tell an empty story.
Yes, Brad Pitt make a good performance in a poorly demanding roll.
2.5 hours of good acting and that is it
