The previews looked good, so I dragged my poor husband to see this movie yesterday. What a huge mistake. The funniest scenes were in the previews. So two minutes of funny lines in a movie that lasts an hour and 50 minutes, just doesn't cut it.
The movie is boring and pointless. The performances have no heart. It was so bad, I almost left, but my husband had hope it would get better. Unfortunately, he was wrong.
Save yourself the money and skip this dud.

I know I've seen the preview for this one and it looked great, but which one is it?

Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson. Topher Grace is Dennis Quaid's new boss, and Scarlett is Quaid's daughter.
Too bad about this one. I like all 3 of the leads, but I'll take Susanita's word on it. I'll wait for video.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I almost always wait for video anyway if it's not a movie for kids. I really think Spanglish looks good, too. It's hard to imagine Adam Sandler in a serious role.

I want to see Spanglish. Has anyone seen it yet?

Interesting considering it's getting rave reviews from what I can tell. Rotton Tomatos (link here) is giving it 83%.
Are you sure you didn't mistakeningly see Elektra ( which getslink here) which is getting a 7% rating?
Interesting thing about Elektra... with 7% it's doing worse than Catwoman which got 9%.

I saw it last week. It wasn't on my list of movies to see, but I get a free movie every Tuesday, and that was the only flick available that day due to a schedule problem. To the point: I liked it, but not enough to recommend it (remember, it was free for me). Great performances, but a weak script. It is no Punch Drunk Love. Wait for the rental so you can fast-forward Tea Leoni's scenes (you'll understand what I mean when you watch it).

I'm sure. But I would like to see Elektra. I have a feeling it's a good bad movie.
I went to see In Good Company because CNN gave it a rave review, but I can't understand why. It just dragged and dragged...
