It wasn’t the greatest comedy I’ve ever seen, but it had its hilarious moments. It also had its awkward moments and was way too long. That may have been because I was tired and not feeling great, but hey, in that case it should have cheered me up. All in all, it was worth a free ticket.

After all the hype, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to expectations – but I was not disappointed! I laughed the whole way through and loved the characters, as well as the orange-ness of the movie. I know next to nothing about cinematography, but something about the look and feel of it (the mis en scène, I suppose) was just delightful.

I don’t usually go for action-thrillers like this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. Denzel was kickass as usual (even if the whole driving in two different times thing was a pretty terrible idea) and it wasn’t too gory for my weak stomach. I thought that the plot (while certainly full of suspense) would be predictable, but then it kept on proving me wrong. I didn’t even mind watching it again the next night (in different company).

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I’m not a huge indie fan but I found myself humming along. Short and sweet. I think my favorite song was “Headlights Look Like Diamonds.”

First off, Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott are two of my favorite Broadway stars. Their voices are incredible without being over the top and they blend beautifully. Second, the music itself is fantastic – every single song got me humming along. I would name my favorites, but I would end up naming nearly all of them! And finally, the story is incredibly moving, and the unique structure (with Jamie moving forward in time and Cathy moving backward) works perfectly. I’ve never seen the show, but if the soundtrack gets me choked up, it’s got to be good.

It wasn’t perfect – certain plot threads seemed unnecessary and it could have been streamlined a bit – but overall this movie blew my mind. It incorporated my greatest fear (an infinitely large waterfall – I was literally clutching the edges of my chair), was epic in all senses of the word, and caused me to become totally absorbed in the film – perched on the edge of my seat, mouth half-open, holding my breath, the whole lot. Also, I loved the fact that I was always maddeningly questioning my character loyalties – who should I root for? Other pros included beautiful people, some really great actors, intense special effects, and Keith Richards (I knew he was in it but I still laughed aloud when he appeared). And I actually enjoyed the trippy hilarity of Jack’s schizophrenia. It ended well – all the threads were tied up but it was still bittersweet. After seeing the previous entry, though, I wish I’d stayed till the end of the credits. Darn!

It’s a real shame that this show was cancelled, because it’s just so good! On the other hand, the last episode completely blew my mind. They couldn’t have ended it better.

This one did not have me dying with laughter as the first two did. It was worth the free ticket I happened to have. I guess it started slow. I’m a huge Shrek fan so I still enjoyed it, but critically I’d say it was just okay. Some great moments but not nearly enough.

Brilliant. Beyond words. Started the third season as soon as this one was finished!

This happened to be on TV, and though I missed the beginning I instantly found myself totally absorbed in the story and characters. I’ve never had much of an interest in watching this but I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
