Movie Reviews of Danny Deckchair
Movie Review: Absolutely Spiffing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I happened across this film, thanks to my new dishnetwork satellite hookup (not a marketing post, I swear), and it absolutely hooked me right from the start. One look at "Danny's" face, and I knew in there somewhere was a beautiful man dying to break out of his shell. Maybe it's a mirror of my middle-aged self examination, but I saw in Danny and his story the wonder of emerging as the person you are inside after a lifetime of being dissed. Somehow, for him, he lands in the right place, almost in the lap of the right person, and this fairy tale takes off. Lots of great characters, a beautiful town, a story that moves right along, and it just doesn't seem syrupy at all. Wonderful, old-style romantic, well paced.Movie Review: Danny Deckchair a Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Danny Deckchair is a whimsical movie about finding happiness where you least expect it. Danny is in a hum drum existence always inventing things and doing wild things. One day he ties balloons to his chair and floats away and crashes and disappears. While in the faraway land, he finds a very small happy town with happy people that he comes to really love. He eventually gets discovered and his girlfriend from his old life shows up, wanting to claim him. His new love interests gets mad when she finds out who he really is but in the end, he knows his old life is behind him and he belongs in the new town with his new love. It's a really cute movie and I'd highly recommend it.Movie Review: Aaaaawww...
Summary: 5 Stars
That would be the word I could not stop saying while watching this movie. It is one of those rare, precious romantic comedies that is actually both romantic and funny. Since the plot has already been discussed exhaustively, I not waste anyone's precious time by rewriting the screenplay. Miranda Otto is adorable as Glenda, reinforcing the opinion I formed after watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy; that is, she can pull off just about any role. The rest of the cast is also excellent in their respective roles. The supporting characters are quirky and fun, but never to the point of upstaging the action. This one is a keeper!Movie Review: Great Little Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
I instantly grabbed this movie because it had Miranda Otto and the very funny, very quirky Rhys Ifans in it. The movie turned out to be better than I expected, and I love the idea behind floating away in a chair tied to balloons. This is definitely a great little film about taking a chance and making a difference by following your heart's desire. Lots of good-natured humor touched by some heart-warming moments without feeling shmaltzy and over the top. If you're looking for a break from the usual mainstream Hollywood formulas, this film's for you.Movie Review: Absolutely love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave it 5 stars because when I rented it I just had to watch it more than once, and then I just had to buy it! Yeah, it is predictable, but, so what? That was part of the enjoyment, actually. It feels good and is a great escape. Sweet and funny, with fun to watch characters.
I guess I'm not good at picking apart a film, but analyzing it to death takes away all the fun and the things you do like about it! Perfect for a weekend date or a lazy afternoon....
Rhys Ifans and Miranda Otto are a great pair in this film.
