I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The first must-see film of the year.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I absolutely adore the atmosphere of the movie, the plot, cast, everything is fun! this movie makes me feel happy and really lifts the mood for living. it is not the one to be in the category of the ''must see'' all time classic masterpieces, and that's why I can't give it 10 stars, because this is my personal girlish opinion, but for the category of small, everyday movies, I certainly credit this movie as for ever favorite.
There is so much more than meets the eye here. This was the first time I saw Casey Affleck, and I thought 'This guy CRAPS on his brother for acting'. I've not been disappointed since... his turn in Jesse James was outstanding.I adore Martha Plimpton, and can (of course) understand the character's obsession with EC.This film has worked it's way into our family 'language'. 'Ronkonkoma' in a heavy NY accent features largely... as does 'I want to lick his glasses'.There is so much to love about this film. It's cheesy and not cheesy, all at the same time, and it's the little things that make it.There is a great deal to read between the lines, and so if you don't like subtle complexity in your films, then perhaps this wouldn't be for you.
Another film that literally goes up in smoke in this 1999 mess of a picture.Everyone is off to a party. There are 2 girls from Ronkonkoma who could easily be compared to Fran Drescher and her idiotic friend Val on the super television show "The Nanny." In fact, one of the girls is named Val.Ben Affleck as a supposed law-student, serving drinks, barely appears and when he does, he says little. How fortunate he is.Martha Plimpton is hosting the party and panicking by 9:30P.M. on the night of New Year's Eve when it appears that no one shows up. By the time they do, she is totally out of it and misses a night supposedly to remember.Kate Hudson steals the show as the girl so prone to accidents. This film is one big accident.These 20 year old guys abd gaks are completely immature, neurotic and heaven knows what else. The writing is absolutely miserable and Jan. 1 can't come fast enough.
I haven't seen this movie since it was relatively new, but I remember it was fairly enjoyable. It wasn't flat out hilarious, but it had its moments. The main reason I'm writing this is because I read another review that had a glaring inaccuracy in it: IT WASN'T KATE HUDSON WHO THREW THE PARTY! IT WAS MARTHA PLIMPTON! I don't know why, but it really bothers me when someone bothers to write a review and then gets their facts all screwed up. Well, there are a lot of familiar faces in this movie and it's worth at least one viewing, especially if you like movies set in the 80's. It's a helluva lot better than the atrocious "The Wedding Singer".
