Reviews

haider ejaz (hyder_sagg2003) The movie is very nice and has a nice story line... Drew Barrymore and Brittany Murphy (RIP) are good and i m reviewing this movie because Brittany Murphy just Died. Thats very sad lets come back to the review...The story is nice, but needed a good director for a emotional and sensitive direction ...Penny Marshall failed to do it (Direction was OK though).I don't think that any body will rate it less than 7....Nice movie with a lot of flaws. but sweet and sad ending.Generous rating 9/10.

deerhunter-11 This could have been written about my mother and me...we watched this together..and just kept looking at each other. It seemed as though we were watching a re-enactment of our life story. And just like Beverly in the movie..she didn't get it either...my mother seems to think it's all about her...her life that was screwed up. We lived in the same hell holes...had the same doped out hippies hanging around. My father wasn't on drugs..but was a severe abusive alcoholic. My mother was smart..and wound up pregnant by a loser. I am a grown man of 42 now...and watching this brings back a flood of memory's...and it's really hard to not tear up...especially the scene in which Jason meets his father at the age of 20. I too experienced this..only to see a man who was once a James Dean look alike,,now a broken down alcoholic...with nothing to show for his life

shannasman9 This movie I'm sure hits home for some people. I'm sure there isn't someone out there who can relate to Beverly D'onofrio in one way or another. She's 15 years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend walks out on here and has her raise the baby all by herself. So I'm sure there isn't some older generation person who can relate to this movie somehow. I enjoyed watching this movie didn't like the fact that it took place back when time was when a man could buy a pop for only 50 cents. Also what was up with Steve Zahn's character? I couldn't understand him nor could I see life from his perspective. So all I have to say is if you haven't seen this movie yet watch it and see if you can relate to it.

lmcmackin1 This movie title was not the best because you judge it because of the title, or at least I did. My daughter wanted me to buy this movie for her for Xmas. I told her she was crazy. What mother wants to get a movie for their daughter that would be a mother's nightmare. My daughter ask me to trust her and get the movie. I did. We watched it together. It did not take long for me to relate to this movie on several areas.The Dad asking his daughter what she wanted for Xmas and then listen and not get her a bra was so sad. You could see he lost her for many years after that. The movie was filled with humor and very touching scenes. When the Dad has to leave his son was so sad. I cried. I love this movie. I own it. It is not giving up on your dreams and the struggle with relationships. We all can relate somewhere. I watch this movie when I miss my daughter. I learned to trust her a lot more after this movie. She wanted the book too. I had no problem with it. I recommend this movie to anyone. It is a real gem.
