Movie Reviews of One True Thing
Movie Review: One True Thing
Summary: 4 Stars
Meryl Streep's character was real. I was not impressed with Renee Zellweger's performance at times. I saw too many "Bridget Jones' Diaryisms" in her facial expressions when dealing with serious issues. I would still (very much) recommend this movie. A serious role played by Meryl Streep is generally a beautiful thing to witness.Movie Review: Familial erosions...
Summary: 3 Stars
`One True Thing' is a familiar piece of family tensions that erode relationships only to reveal stronger connections and everlasting bonds. It is handled with manipulative casualness, which strips away some of the honesty and gives it the appearance of heavy handed falsities. `One True Thing' tries so hard that it loses the `true' part of the equation. The performances are strong, especially from Zellweger, who undergoes some serious emotional shifts throughout the film, and she handles them with ease (she would have made a far more inspired Oscar nominee, as opposed to the always great but often over-nominated Streep). Hurt is his usual self (with so much promise in the 80's, he fell into predictable shtick) and Streep tugs heartstrings with calculated fervor. The thing is, when all is said and done, this film isn't memorable. It just isn't a great movie. I agree that the police angle was a misstep, but it wasn't the most grievous. The film's internal tone just needed to be lifted from the obvious. It is too apparent what the film wants you to feel, even within the plot manipulations that should read as honest twists (like with regard to Hurt's character and his apparent lack of concern); they come across too weighted down by the filmmakers intentions. Insert scene, project sadness, receive bounteous tears; that is the whole objective of this film and it works well on that front, but when I walked away from the film I forgot most of what I felt because it never felt `real'.Movie Review: STREEP IS OUTSTANDING!

I just rented this movie last night.. Meryl Streep is an amazing actress..and William Hurt was excellent as the "not there" husband.. it was sad but for me , it wasn't a tearjerker.. you knew what was going to happen in the end...i was unsatisfied with the ending.there was some questions that were never answered.. all in all, i would recommend this movie...
Movie Review: a women tearjerker!

im usually not into these type of movies, but if your going to grow up to be a movie critic you have to have see and comment on several different movies.my mom was actually the one that rented it, but she asked me to watch it with her, so i did.and i was amazed. i actually liked it, it was sad and my mom cried at the end,but i liked it.Movie Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Plot was very real. It happens to a lot of families who suffer heart wrenching problems. The storyline was promising and I have no doubt in Streep and Hurt's convincing and compelling portrayal of characters.
Renee Z., however, killed everything! Her acting was terrible that it was painful watching her in each scene that she was in (which was most of the movie).
