This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Confused, tired, disappointed, left hanging, that is how I feel about 21 Grams. Another feeling I had was a headache from trying to figure out all the supposed hidden meanings, and the closing monologue.The back-and-forth-in-time scene sequence didn't work for me. I don't necessarily believe movies should be linear (two of my favourite movies are Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, and they are not linear in their scene sequence), but 21 Grams overdoes the non-linearity. I kept feeling like I was cheating, as if I was skipping forward in the movie. A linear storytelling would have worked a lot better, and made me feel more surprised when the story took a twist.There were too many loose ends in the movie (I won't mention them, to avoid spoiling the movie for others). I just felt like I was left hanging.I couldn't grasp the implication of the 21 grams concept, even though I thought I understood the idea before the movie started. I left the movie feeling confused, and quite bitter, as I felt ripped off as the supposed deeper meaning was fairly lame or unfathomable, and the movie fairly pretentious.

I liked this film so much .. The story is good but Iñárritu style of telling the story makes it more interesting .. I didn't feel bored during the movie . You try to catch up with the events and what happened first and last , Who the hell are those guys , Are they good or bad !! makes you think the whole movie and even in the middle of it when you think you've got the event sequence and the story is told , it's still interesting , you can just enjoy the acting of the actors especially Naomi .. The film gives a meaning about what death and its circumstances bring to everyone around .. The story telling style is different and interesting ; it's not pure backwards ( like memento for example ) .. Scenes are shuffled in a way that makes you work your mind and enjoy this piece of art .. The only thing I wished it had been better is the music , That could have been more and more touching than what it is alreadyAbsolutely watchable , no regrets ..
