Cute and funny. It takes a bit to get used to the animation style, which is like a hybrid of comic book cel-shading but also 3D. Paul Rudd was the scene stealer, but hey, it's Paul Rudd.

I was so locked in. I didn't think there could be Watergate content as enjoyable as Dick, the Kirsten Dunst movie, but this is even better, but a little less fun. I am obsessed with Shea Whigham as Gordon Liddy. I was captivated by him in every scene, every little crazy, scary, weirdo scene. This looks like it would be kind of dry and serious by the cover, but it is surprisingly funny.
Ready or Not Here I Come is a silly, fun time, and I love it. It's not as naturally funny as the first, but it was never going to be as good as the first, and that's okay. It has Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood, and that makes up for a few moments that don't quite land.
I can't wait to buy the blu-ray.
I certainly did not have “Get emotional over a sentient sea shell” on my list of things I’d do in my life, but here I am…
Such a wonderful film!
The performances are good, but if I was watching it on tv and I had to leave before it was over, I would never think about it again. I wouldn't track it down to finish it. I would instantly forget I had been watching it.
And I did not like the jacket Mark Ruffalo's character kept wearing.
Great ideas, but you end up questioning EVERYTHING that transpires and maybe that was what the filmmaker wanted. It’s a discussion prompting movie, but all the discussions in the world would not help you come to a solid conclusion on what really happened.
The one thing that I question more than anything is why no one has told Casey Afleck that he can’t act?
I was so annoyed about the prosthetics to try to make Joseph Gordon Levitt look like Bruce Willis. My brain knows what JGL looks like, and making him look slightly different than that was unsettling, and he didn't even look like Bruce! If you want him to look like Bruce, you better shave that head.
I love coming of age, borderline wholesome films. This isn't especially realistic (I mean, they build a house with a loft seemingly by just stealing from build sites?), but that doesn't matter. Sometimes you just have to roll with it and have a good time. Megan Mullaly steals every scene she is in. They should do a sequel just about her doing mom stuff and living her life.
I see now why people who love Once are not as into Begin Again. I love Begin Again and have probably watched it ten times, and I saw a lot of similarities while watching Once, except Once is the scrappy version filmed on a handheld with musicians as the lead, and Begin Again is the Hollywood version. Once is very charming. I was very charmed. I cried at the end.
I was pretty lukewarm on this until the scene with Leo and the daughter before she left for the dance. I liked that scene a lot, and it reeled me back in. From that point, it kind of alternates between having me and losing me. I was much more invested when it was a Leo, Benecio, or Chase scene, and any scene without them could have been edited down a bit.
In the genre of super-vehicle films, this is one of them.
The titular Cyclone actually looks kind of cool, and unlike many super/vehicle it doesn’t look like it would immediately fall apart going around a corner.
Thomas is pretty good in this too. Granted, the script was pretty bad, but what she had to work with she handled really well.
Impressive supporting cast, but they all look and act like they were only there for the day.
Based on the movie poster, I always assumed Kim Bassinger was the main character. Guy Pearce gets the same amount of poster space as Kim's boobs, and Russell Crowe gets even less. I never even noticed that was him because I have never looked at the cover with a magnifying glass, and I worked in movie stores for 11 years.
