Lack of good storyline.

Brilliant and touching

Best movie ever!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

One great movie really. A drama showing several parallel life stories that intertwine. The motives represented in this story may have been often used in film art, but it doesn't matter at all, they do not diminish the quality of it , and the way how film was made, the plot and dissolution, gives it a completely unique seal, so that the film is one of the top for each recommendation.

This film reminds me of why I generally don't like ensemble movies. You have to be able to invest in each of the subplots, or you get bored. Now, once in a while I luck out and stumble into an ensemble film that I can buy into, but not often.Here, I couldn't get interested in all of the subplots. Not that there was anything wrong with any of the stories, but they all just didn't interest me.We start with Bradley (Greg Kinnear) who gets dumped by his lesbian wife and begins a relationship with a real estate agent. Okay, I bought into this subplot.Then there's Oscar and Chloe. He's a formed druggie. They do a porn film to make money. Sorry, just couldn't get into it. Nothing wrong with the story. Just didn't interest me.And then there's Morgan Freeman's mixed marriage with Jane Alexander. I found this part of the film very interesting.But, that means a third of the film didn't interest me.So, my only warning here is to be sure you like ensemble stories.

I happen to watch the movie lately .. and loved it. Yes .. its a bit predictable , but is a very simply put pleasant movie. I would rate it 10 for a DVD rent. Worth spending 2 hours at home , with your loved ones. Morgan Freeman is definitely the high point. Its funny, tense, sad ,complex and is definitely about LOVE. The acting is superb and subtle. Alexa Davalos looks really beautiful in this movie (i had seen her in defiance earlier). I could not much weak links in the entire movie .. yes there are a few nude scenes (slightly explicit) , but they don't stand out since they form an integral part of the story. One of the few movies which i did not want to end.

only good thing about this movie was Bradley because i connected with him and i feel like him most of the time, though maybe not quite as nice lol. Morgan freeman was good as always but the movie itself didn't really have any kind of message. i gave it 2 stars for those 2 actors. everyone else was lame. it wasn't like Rocky or something where it had a inspirational message of if you try hard enough you can beat the odds, go the distance etc. the message if any seemed to be like don't get married which is stupid, Hollywood likes to make it seem like EVERYONE is cheating on everyone else. thats not true, most normal ppl do stay together for quite a while. and not everyone who is married is cheating on there spouse. i hated that radha Michelle, she frig-gin played him so bad and then left him for that other cheating mofo, it was like wtf that guy slapped her and was also a cheater. so what was the point of that, a cheater can trust another cheater? stupid. and whats with Hollywood having to throw in gay stuff today in all movies? bradleys wife leaves him for...anther woman?? oh, how realistic. that was just hollyweird throwing in some more leftist agenda stuff. when Bradley met that doctor i was no way, most doctors are NOT nice and pretty like that, that was so Hollywood "chance" meeting right there. i was expecting a different kind of movie, like more romantic not this super depressing nihilistic crap. and whats with movies these days showcasing "city hall" weddings and not getting married in the holy church? stuff like that bugs me to no end. even Indiana Jones got married in a church, but not other "real life" type movies? another thing i didn't like was how loose everyone was, i mean seriously you meet someone for 2 seconds and boom, your in bed with cm on? MAKING A SEX TAPE WITH THEM??? OK, i think they doomed each other with taking advice from a slutty goth chick. ugh, this movie was so stupid, my brain hurts from the lameness.
