AddictedOnePC . Is great movie very emotional that bring happiness/funny/sadness,I really wished that be more movie but better cause this story make feel bad,i don't tell what happened or if is end bad but you gotta see to understand what i am talking about. i bought this movie free in hot video movies and the story were amazing i don't care why i'm sad but still 9/10.
riversedgerocks I am a 30 year old male. When my wife suggested this movie I was not sure what to think. I really didn't want to watch it. I am so glad I did watch the movie. It was great to see such a real honest slice of life. I know people in real life just like all the characters. Some people don't really like the dry/goofy comedy in this movie but I loved it. I thought everything was great. It was nice to watch a movie and actually feel like you are living it.This movie may not be perfect for everyone. This is not the right movie for you if you are looking for a movie that will make you laugh the whole time. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
faustocausto Te acting is good i have to say... But my god, it is slow, and the script is so pretentious. And too too too much of the kid's speech problem come on. It made me want to slap him like 20 times!! Anyway what sort of film is it? It's pushing too much the witty comedy genre in vogue. Tired of this kind of stuff. Please make intelligent comedies but because they are intelligent. It seems that the point of this was to prove how many fancy words they can write. It is like the characters of Dawson's creek. Mixed with the wonder years, the girl name is even Ginny like Winnie. And what about the stereotypes like the funny intrusive Asian people and the pervert Indian.
Cbor1 "Throw me the cello!" Rocket Science is a film about finding your voice. Rather than detail the plot, which has been done elsewhere, here are what I consider to be the good and bad aspects of the film: Good:The vast majority of the cast are extremely good actors. Particularly liked 'Earl' and, of course, Hal, who managed to portray everything from the frustration stutterers feel, to the sheer jubilation of being able to vocalize, even if only occasionally.The characters were engaging.The cinematography gave the film a sense of movement through time that dramatically raised the stakes for the characters. Extremely good soundtrack that perfectly matches the tone.The ending was realistic.Bad: The film moves a little quickly in places, leaving it easy to miss key aspects of the plot.The main cello scene was the best portrayal of everyday anger that I have ever seen.The film has one scene that veers slightly too far into 'Artsiness for Artsines's sake' territory, and had me cringing. More could have been done with the little transvestite boy; an extremely interesting actor underused.If the ending was intended to show Hal accepting both himself and his stutter and thus finding his voice, why did the final scene show him struggling. I'm not suggesting he should have suddenly been able to give Kafka a run for his money, but it seemed a little too stilted.
