romained-49721 It really got me thinking about how i handle a lot stuff in my life, it was just amazing...
Mihai Toma Jamie is a notorious playboy who doesn't care about anyone but himself. To him, life is a game, until one day when he gets fired as a result of his "actions". He gets another job as a drug representative and meets a lovely girl called Maggie which suffers from Parkinson's. They quickly form a relationship which starts only as "sex friends" but evolves over time, each of them falling in love with each other. In order to maintain their relation or even transform it into something more formal, they have to overcome a series of impediments, from her disease to his life style.It's a very interesting and romantic story but a bit too predictable for my taste and not as well composed as I hoped. It has a lot of moments when you simply cannot stop laughing, an aspect which I liked a lot, but it could have been a bit more polished. Overall, I think it's a good movie!
POGO (PogoNeo) It is sad day for fans of Jake Gylenhall: to see such a good actor in a typical Hollywood syphilitic piece of "cinema"This picture is full of clichés with addition of old and low jokes. Let us be honest here: it is simply quite vulgar. And while being vulgar does not automatically mean that a comedy has to be bad, in this case all this vulgarity serves as a cheap paint over a poor executed material. Because the subject (the attempt of turning cinema goers attention to a dreadful disease of Parkinson) is made in such a way, that doctor James Parkinson must be now turning in his graveDo not waste time on this "romantic" "comedy". This picture has very little romance; this picture is almost completely not funny. This picture is simply boringOne would have to be a complete simpleton to enjoy this thing (that should not be called "movie" nor a "piece of cinema")
hjames-97822 I won't take up a lot of your time here. The script is the biggest problem here. It is mediocre at best. It tried to cover way, way too much ground. From their relationship to the state of big pharmacy in America to dealing with a major disease, the focus gets spread way too wide here.In another time this would have been a Rock Hudson/Doris Day film, except they would have kept their cloths on. It's fluff, not great movie making. For my part, in this film, I found most of the nudity and sex (this routine Hollywood simulated sex has become boring, at least for me) was written in for marketing purposes. More on that to follow.I have nothing against any of this, I just thought it was raunchy and mostly out of place. I think every director and writer have a professional obligation to take their storyboard scene by scene and question themselves as to whether or not what they want to film is A) in good taste and B) something they really--need--to ask their actors both male and female to do. That includes nudity, simulated sex, dangerous car chases, jumping out of planes, etc. You owe it to your people to ask "Is there any other way to shoot this scene that will do the job?" One of Jake Gyllenhaal's finest roles was that in Brokeback Mountain. Of course the film had some very graphic scenes, that was in my opinion quite different. First, the screenplay came from two of the finest writers and authors of our generation. It was IMHO a masterpiece when it hit the directors desk. Second that script and those actors (all of them) were in the hands of a genius director who gave us a frame-able painting with every shot. Nude or not.Frankly I have a personal list of actors whom I would respectfully say may keep their cloths on for the foreseeable future. Whatever they have to show has already been seen, ad nauseum. Both these leads have made my list.One last note. Your first clue that sex and or graphic nude scenes have been deliberately added by the producers and or directors is what you see coming out of the studio PR and marketing machine. Watch the trailers. And specifically watch the interviews the actors are contracted to give with the media. The PR folks are looking to fill seats and they will prepare media relations kits that literally coach interviewers on what to ask and appropriate clips will be provided. When you see (as is the case here) interview after interview after interview that has the actors spending 75% of the time answering questions about nudity with other actors and giggling about what to say (without saying too much) I guarantee you, you've been played.
