This definitely wasn’t the best movie, but I found myself laughing hysterically at some points. I was expecting not to like this, so perhaps that is why I was pleasantly surprised.

It was okay. There were certainly some cute parts and the whole thing looked and sounded amazing. There was no decent plot, nor any good dialog. The whole thing was preachy and a bit pointless. I was disappointed.

Easily the best movie of 2006. Imaginitive and unique, this movie set during the Prohibition in Idlewild, GA includes gangsters, songs and tons of fantasy. The music is addictive. The story is at times funny, angering, sad and horrifying. I hope it collects quite a few Oscars this year; it deserves them!

Grammar nuts: rest easy! Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) is well aware of the correct spelling of happiness, which becomes apparent in the first few minutes of the film.

This film follows the life of Chris Gardner through a period where he’s struggling to get by after investing in a bogus business idea. His marriage is falling apart and while working his ass off, he’s doing his very best to be a positive and active figure in his five year old son Christopher’s life.

There’s nothing happy or reassuring about this film. It is very much the pursuit of happiness. There are parts you just don’t think you’ll be able to bear; it’s heart wrenching. You might want to wait until it comes out on DVD, if only to sob and wail in the privacy of your own home with plenty of Kleenex, but you must see this movie.

Hopefully this one won’t be ignored come Oscar time.

It wasn’t the worst movie ever, but it was really really… strange. I didn’t really connect to any of the characters and the plots bored me. Mostly though, the characters were just soulless.

First things first: these spin offs will never be as good as the original American Pie trilogy. That being said, the spin offs, even though they are direct-to-DVD are still pretty good quality movies. They’re smart and funny and even romantic. Band Camp was better, but this one was still better than expected.

Not for the prudish.

It is a cute family friendly movie. Definitely nothing very in-depth.

I thought for sure this would be a hit with the number of huge celebrities in it. I was bored out of my skull and a little confused by the irrelevance and absurdity of most of the movie.

Trippy, man! An interesting way to capture why drugs worked so well for the hippies in the 60s and just got worse and worse after the decade was done.

Heartbreaking.
