I am NOT a film aficionado as are most of the posters here.
My wife rented this film several months ago and, based on the title, I figured, "Oh boy, a chick flick", but was resigned to sit through it.
The start of the film was slow.
But , as it got on. I found if humorous, most of the characters were somewhat developed and I got on board their trek.
The movie had some momentum to it and the end suited the picture.
A "thought provoking " masterpiece? No
An unexpected humorous flick. Yes.
Crap ? I guess its a matter of opinion.Personally, when I read or hear of "Great" films, I am primed to look only for being impressed by the flick.
More often than not, my expectations are rarely exceeded .Other people's opinions dont always match mine and I often times am disappointed by what they think are fantastic films.Victor,
Since I am rather new at film viewing,
What are your expectations of every film?
How do you gauge whether a film has worth?
Do you factor nothing more than going on a simple ride as having worth?
Do you expect hidden , unsaid , cryptic messages from every film?
(And , as an aside, thanks for sending me those capacitors a while back, you are the best!)
