Karate Mids

Why the fuck is this a comfort movie for me?

Why not?

I'm the real clown for watching this.

Visually stunning. Emotionally potent.

I will never be able to take a movie seriously when the killer airdrops memes to its victims. I’m sorry.

This remake of freaky Friday was so weird.

I don’t fuck with old people anymore after this shit.

The fuck did I just watch?

My brother is perfect and if you don't like it you can SUCK it.

Held down by a great performance by Josh Hartnett.

I appreciate that this film exists and how unabashedly dumb it was but I don't know if M. Knight was even aware of how dumb it was. It was never boring though which is a feat in it of itself for a film of this nature.

Me and Tucker were stoned watching this and it was slightly triggering because it's about a gameshow and we were just on a game show...anyway. Not really sure why I couldn't rate it any higher. Tonally it was so weird and did strike a good balance at times but other times it felt off or like the performances weren't lining up with what they were going for. It did a really good job of taking a singular event in someone's life and stretching it for 90 minutes without making it feel like that's exactly what they were doing. Great directorial debut from Anna Kendrick though and the script was very good at keeping the story engaging and I enjoyed the tonal shift in the 2nd half.

What an absolutely lovely movie. It didn’t reinvent the wheel but it was just so pleasant I feel like I could watch it all the time. The soundtrack was incredible and the timing of it with the scenes was great. Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutchers chemistry is off the charts and carries the film. I also love how grounded it was, often in romantic films they come up with some half-ass reason why the couple breaks up and then has to get back together but here it was just circumstance and time that kept them apart.

One of the most underrated horror flicks. Devon Sawa knocks it out of the park in a role that could have been cheesey in the wrong hands. A clever idea with great execution.

The cast overall is A+ and full of charisma from top to bottom. Don’t know why this movie doesn’t get more love. Super stylish and keeps a consistent tone. Reinvented the genre and made a new kind of slasher flick that is just as compelling.

Took a plot that could have been super corny and made it something really cool. Realistic depictions of mental illness. Some sick body horror. 5 stars might be too high but 4 feels too low. So great aesthetically and tone wise which is what made it work. Also, some great acting by the lead and the woman who plays his mother.

Overrated. I didn’t get it.

Man has this movie become trendy to hate. This is a wonderful directorial/writer debut and it’s genuinely compelling. Apparently his problems in this movie aren’t grand enough for people to sympathize with based on reviews I’ve read (clinical depression and his mom dying?). I think if people watched this movie with less pretenses they would like it a lot more. There is some really genuinely funny moments. I heard ppl complain Portmans character is manic pixie type which is true but…Braff essentially invented that. They invented the cliche people are complaining about. Hating on old hipster shit is the new hipster thing to do though, so I get it.

Almost gave it a 3. Corney in some scenes which I don’t think is on purpose. Wrapped up very nicely though. And you gotta love the Frankie Goes to Hollywood cameo. Got more stylish and inspired the longer it lasted.

Always been a Zach Braff fan, but watched this recently without the garden state-tinted glasses. Still holds up pretty well. The main character isn’t super likable, but he is relatable. This is a movie about very flawed people and shows that life doesn’t have simple answers. Some of the movie was cringey, but it was very compelling and I was never bored at any point. Braff, Jacinda Barrett, and Casey Affleck all turn in some amazing performances. I feel like there’s this new wave of people who are new to film criticism who hate on this movie because nobody is “likable” and I feel like it just speaks to this new generation of people who have unrealistic expectations of how people should behave and act. Everyone in life has been selfish and done something shitty, maybe not cheat on your pregnant wife shitty, but I just hate this new expectation that all characters should be “non-problematic” or however you want to phrase it.

Vibrant, fast, bright, dirty. A charming delinquent tries to get his brother out of jail after involving him in a get-rich quick scheme turned mess. The film puts you in the driver seat and nails its good to the gas pedal and never lets off. The scope feels so huge and the environments so real that you're hoping if we run just a little faster we can get away.

Sweaty Pacino at his sweatiest. A human drama that's a lot fiercer than you . A love story. A heist story.

Offensive, beautiful, irreverent, cool. This movie had it all it was so subversive I can't believe it wasn't a bigger hit. Maybe people didn't get it. Maybe I don't get how anything works, but I know cool and this movie's it.

This movie has no business being as good as it is.

A lot hoakier than I while it still was pretty cool overall I wish the ing cast was less wooden but it's still worth it for the Rogue/Logan stuff which was well done. Enough cool stuff in there to warrant a watch.

It had some all-time great sequences for superhero movies especially when the swat team broke into X-mansion and a more nuanced premise than it's predecessor it still felt like the whole film wasn't coalescing until the very end with Jean which transcended it beyond your normal superhero fare. Overall excellent film that was a lot more mature than the previous.

The film was understated but told you just enough to tear you up and worry about what our hero is going through. It's not dramatic it's blunt story of trying to speak when you're at a loss of words and what shame can lead us into. It hurts but it's supposed to.
