Movie Reviews of Pursuit of Happiness
Movie Review: Great Movie, A chick flick from a guys point of view...
Summary: 4 Stars
Great Movie. Okay title. Chick flick from a guys point of view...Pursuit of Happiness is one of those movies that your girlfriend tells you she caught on a late night cable channel and makes you watch it on your night off. But the great thing about this movie is that you'll actually identify with what the film's lead character Allen (Frank Whaley). This movie has all the great dating faux pas and lessons. The most important of which is how to turn your gal pal into your girlfriend. Pursiut of Happiness is a chick flick, without a doubt, but most guys will come to love it.
Movie Review: Unexpectedly Good
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was quite good. In general, I tend not to like romantic movies of any sort, but this was a rare exception.It wasn't overly mushy, which was good. I'm not sure why they even mention Amy Jo Johnson on the front of the box, though, as she is hardly more than a supporting character.
Anyway, this movie surprised me. It has a plot which tends not to dwell, which is a definate good thing. It's about a man caught in conflicting relationships.. a nice change from most romantic comedies.
Overall, a good movie.
Movie Review: Don't get it for "the scene"
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're looking for Amy Jo Johnson topless, don't bother. It's distant and you can't see squat. Other than that downer, it's a moderately entertaining film about someone coming to a crossroads in his/her life and figuring out which way to take themselves. Something most of us can relate to, as it happens, which is why it works.Movie Review: Supermarket-quality movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I first saw this movie on TV (early morning),and wasn't surprised to later see it at a supermarket checkout line.
Frank Whaley plays a schlub who's considering working for 'Playboy' (a scary thought,this movie giving fear a new name),and who may (or may not)be in love with Annabeth Gish,his childhood sweetheart.The story is needlessly confusing,but you know the two will come together because they're meant for each other.Awwwwww....
Movie Review: Mediocre writing & direction
Summary: 1 Stars
I like romantic comedies in general, even some that I recognize as being formulaic, but I didn't like this movie. The weaknesses were immediately apparent--awkward dialogue, lack of visual style--but I hoped the movie would overcome its faults. It didn't. Unlike, for example, Wedding for Bella, which had some similar shortcomings and obvious outcomes, this movie never made me care about the lead characters--they were two-dimensional sketches rather than fleshed-out characters. I liked Amy Jo Johnson, although being a 30-year-old playing "the teenager" suggests a reason for her undistinguished career, and I liked Liz Vassey who was also relaxed in her character rather than awkwardly acting a part. Otherwise, nothing to see here. Move along.
