Heartwarming with Magical Moments (by meganduffy) |
I'm kind of blown away to see that this movie did so poorly over the weekend. I saw it and enjoyed myself and I know others will too. It's not a flawless movie but neither is Tron, and just about any other Hollywood movie out there but it's fun and quirky with a lot of heart. Paul Rudd's performance is incredible and nomination worthy. Lesser known actor Kathryn Hahn who apparently was actually pregnant during filming is also a standout, and her scene with actor Lenny Venito towards the end of the film made my eyes water. There are some definite magical moments in this <more> |
Doing My Part to Save a Good Film (by adltswimguy) |
When I first saw the trailer for "How Do You Know" I thought it looked like a promising rom com, but then I saw the initial reviews for it and steered clear away. It wasn't until my Uncle pushed it on me, "Didn't that tank?" "Yeah, but it's actually good!" I think the reason why this movie got such bad reviews is people expected the typical rom com I did . What it is, is a REAL movie, with depth, great characters, smart dialogue, and the complexity of reality, with some jokes and a love story thrown in. Great writing, superb acting. Don't know <more> |
An under-appreciated film! (by ehumphrey) |
I am finding it hard to understand why How Do You Know has received so many poor reviews. My husband and I are both PhDs in the arts and loved the film. We were pleased by subtle characterization and sensitive acting that showed us, rather than dictating to us, what to think and feel;we loved Brooks's tender approach to human foibles that allowed us to care for the characters, so that it matters to you what happens to them. Both the writing AND the acting were good, and the actors were well-matched to their parts, and to each other. Especially effective was the "conversion" of <more> |
Wonderful movie and ridiculously underrated (by billyweeds-1) |
This is the best performance yet by the wonderful Paul Rudd, a return to form for Owen Wilson, and the first truly sexy turn by Reese Witherspoon, always an excellent actress but never this yummy heretofore. James L. Brooks has a skilled and expert hand with pace and performance, and the movie is funny and unusually thoughtful--too thoughtful, perhaps, for some of the ADD-afflicted people who post here. This is a worthy addition to the very short list of great romantic comedies, and one which will grow in reputation through the years. Jack Nicholson is committed and inventive--perhaps a bit <more> |
Excellent (by user-920-377764) |
Dear Gracie Films, I was sitting in a room with SAG and Sag Nominating Commitee members last night. I have to see this movie again because everyone was laughing so much I missed half the dialogue. Stellar, writing, stellar performances and just fun and funny. Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon have a great chemistry. And I loved the lighting. Crisp bright. It's been awhile since I've laughed the entire time I watched a movie. And it's been awhile since I felt like a movie had an underlining them of morality. Not preaching but just communicating about ethics. My favorite line from the <more> |
How Can It Not Be Adored By Viewers (by snakeye808) |
Needless to say, I am stunned that this movie has been received with anything but glorious praise. It was precisely the type of romance I enjoy similar to Spanglish . It's not overdone, sappy romance. However, there's plenty of well constructed lines relating to love that will make you think and give you perspective. Owen Wilson is consistently hilarious throughout the film and I haven't enjoyed seeing him on the screen this much since Bottle Rocket. There's a perfect balance of comedy and passion, and this movie works great for both sexes. It's certainly not your typical <more> |
Enjoyable fluff (by herbqedi) |
I am very critical of slow pacing but did not find this comedy the least bit slow. As one who works on Wall Street, I can tell you that people like George actually do exist promoted to a position of authority due to nepotism, but set up for a fall because he actually has ethics . I thought the way they set things up with the phone call by Reba, the pragmatic selfishness of his current girlfriend, and the non-date date worked well together and was plausible enough within context to be enjoyable. I also thought the relationship between jock-player Wilson and over-the-hill jock Witherspoon <more> |
Nice and unusual for big Hollywood movie (by tapavko) |
I can't believe the low rating of this movie. I guess it's because it does not give you usual polished Hollywood story of romance: boy meets girl, girl has a boyfriend/fiancé who at first seems perfect but then turns out to be douche bag and/or evil and there steps in this new perfect guy, they kiss and live happily ever after, the end.Here, both guys trying to get the girl are screwed up in some way or another. Boyfriend Owen Wilson is not a bad guy. He is not too sensitive, he sleeps around, but the point is he doesn't try to hide it. He is honest about himself. And <more> |
Thoughtful, funny, and romantic dramedy (by napierslogs) |
"How Do You Know" is a thoughtful, funny, and romantic dramedy. It covers young people in their early thirties having to make tough choices about their life and career, and does it with way more thought and accuracy than something like "Morning Glory" 2010 .The film begins with some interesting parallels. George Paul Rudd and Lisa Reese Witherspoon have had some unlucky breaks in their careers and their lives are going straight downhill. George is with an analytically-minded girlfriend but she thinks his troubles would be too much for their relationship, meanwhile Lisa <more> |
