Movie Reviews of Meet Bill
Movie Review: EXTREMELY entertaining movie
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first watched Meet Bill, I had my reservations about the film, because I had never heard of it through friends, family, advertising, etc.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the movie through, and have now seen it several times because I liked it so much.
Aaron Eckhart plays, basically, a very accurate depiction of a disgruntled male: his marriage is going down the tubes, he hates his job, has no idea how to have fun, and has no idea where he wants to be in life, yet knows he wants something more, something better. Throughout the movie, we learn about the tough situations in his life and how he deals with them (i.e. cheating wife, in-laws that only care about themselves), and feel badly for him, because his life just sucks.
Then, our main character undergoes a sort of personality transformation: he stands up for himself, finally, and acts out against the man that his wife is cheating with, gets himself involved in a program to assist high school students with banking and during this, meets an outgoing student that helps him come out of his shell and learn how to have fun and not take any trash from anybody. Along the way, Eckhart continuously does a great job of acting the role of a nice guy that realizes it is time he put himself first, for the first time in his life, and go out to get what makes him happy. Plenty of drama and chaos ensues, all of which is very realistic and does not ever feel overblown or too coincidental to actually happen to a real person.
The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Alba, both of whom perform well for the roles they were given. I have to say that this movie has quickly made its way into my Top 10, and this movie is definitely worth the money.
Summary of Meet Bill
Meet Bill (Aaron Eckhart) - a doormat if ever there was one. A man reduced to a mere accessory to his family by working a dead end job at his father-in law's bank and arguing about his overindulgent love for chocolate with his wife Jess (Elizabeth Banks) who is loathe to explain her "friendship" with the local news anchorman (Timothy Olyphant). But Bill's fate begins to change when he becomes mentor to a self-assured boy (Logan Lerman) who engineers Bill's recovery with the help of a cute lingerie sales girl named Lucy (Jessica Alba). Together, the trio confronts Bill's hapless life with humor and energy while forcing him to capture his dream of being financially independent and self-confident. MEET BILL is a film about what it means to let go of your inhibitions and find the path you're destined for.Similar DVD Movies
