Becky's Unsolicited Movie Reviews: No Strings Attached
If you took Love & Other Drugs and subtracted the degenerative disease and strangely superfluous pharmaceutical subplot you would get...a better movie. (Sorry, Jake.)
Hah, I was wondering about this movie. Hadn't seen it yet, (I know, miracle for me!). I have been way too wrapped up seeing that damn Country Strong over & over again, so had no room for other new movies. Gotta break myself free of that addiction asap. I thought I might really like this movie too. So, are you saying you LIKED this movie then? Sorry if that's obvious from your post, but sometimes I just miss the obvious... >;-P
HA! No, it wasn't really obvious the way I worded it, but I did like the movie! :) It had many flaws, which I chose not to point out, but overall, I left the theater feeling uplifted and not horribly depressed that someone like Ashton Kutcher hasn't fallen in love with me (as I do - often - when I leave rom-coms!). I will say that it was raunchier than I thought it was going to be. It was a little less "cute" than the previews suggested, if that makes sense...
Oh I'm surprised that you liked it! It looks good though! I'm In the process of seeing all the Oscar nomes movies. Tonight I'm Off to see the fighter! Not normally my type of movie but It will still be a mark whalberg perve either way!!!
YAY! I love Marky Mark!!! (And Christian Bale!) You'll have to let me know what you think of it...I've been wanting to see it but wasn't sure if it'd be hard to watch (in terms of blood, etc).
I was a little surprised that I liked this movie, too, but I guess I went into it with super-low expectations and then it made me laugh several times so...WIN! I wouldn't see it a second time, but it was worth one viewing. :)
PG, if you love Mark & Christian, you will love this movie. I saw it a couple of weeks ago & Christian totally deserved the GG & SAG he just won for this movie. He was brilliant in it. & Mark was really good too. He said in an interview about it, that he trained for 4 years to be able to make this movie right & to be able to have the fight scenes real instead of just choreographed. I didn't think it was hard to watch at all, regarding blood or the fighting, but then I am a fan of boxing & have been since I was a little girl, seriously. I say you should see this asap, or at least when it comes to the cheap theater near you. >;-)
Seriously?!?!?!?! you thought it would be cute? Come on its all about fuck buddies and booty calls. at least that is what I gathered from the previews. romantic comedy or not. only reason i didn't see it was cuz I highly doubted Miss Portman would get naked enough to justify the ticket price, so I went and watched something else.
Okay, so maybe I didn't pay close enough attention to the advertising. Considering your taste in movies, you probably did better seeing...whatever it was you saw. (I know you told me, but I forgot!)
But speaking of nakedness, did you ever see Love & Other Drugs? I have a feeling you would be ALL OVER that. :)
