Movie Reviews of Roger Dodger
Movie Review: when your oncle wants make your sexual education !
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is interesting for the confrontation between a seducer man, who seems blasé and a teenager, romantic, pure... and when this young boy meets Jennifer Beals...She understands his sensibility...Watch it ! It's a nice story.Movie Review: Maybe I just don't get it...
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe I just don't get it...I found this movie to be boring and draining. It opens with a scene of C. Scott talking and smoking while he supposedly holds a rapt audience of his co-workers in his grasp. I kept expecting it to end and cut to something at least a little interesting but it kept on and on and on and...well you get the idea. The dialogue is bland and labored, and it just felt like it was trying to be TOO smart and TOO important or something. Like I said, I guess I just don't get it. The character of Roger's nephew was a bright spot, and the DVD extras are ambitious, but obviously not very entertaining if you didn't enjoy the movie. I would have to say avoid - nothing is really missed by missing this movie.Movie Review: Absolutely hated it!

Just rented this. After 10 minutes (or less) I gave up on it. If I had seen this at the theatre, I would have walked out.Shaky camera technique? More like: give a camera to a 3 year old. No, if they had done that it might have even been worth watching. I would be embarressed to call myself a cinematographer (or director) on this shoot. The incessant dialog wasn't even the bulk of the problem. I was so put off by the (lack of) "camera work," and lighting that I immediately disliked everyone on the shaking screen.
Maybe I missed an opportunity to see a good film -- if only I could have stuck it out. Well, why should I? I guess they wanted to break the rules of good fimmaking. And they did. For me, they drew all the attention from the characters and placed it solely on the camera.
I readily admit I couldn't stomach this movie beyond the first few minutes, so I may not be the best one to judge it. But, I can tell you I hated those opening minutes so much, I didn't even watch the extras on the DVD -- a usual favorite treat for me. In a few minutes, the filmakers made me not care about their film, characters, or behind the scenes and interview footage.
Movie Review: Genuinely unpleasant.

You know how, when you watch a David Mamet movie, the dialog is brilliant--even if nobody actually talks that way in real life? Well this is a cross between a badly written Mamet movie and a Woody Allen movie, minus the humor.Whether you think this is brilliant social satire or just R-rated T&A, there's nothing really clever or insightful and its ultimately pointless. So what if the acting is good. Miserable people doing miserable things. Now that's what I call entertainment!
Movie Review: camera shake...
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought from the description that this could be an interesting film and gave it a shot. It was terrible. First because of the camera shake, I don't know about you but I can't sit trough a film with continuous camera shaking. Needless to say I didn't make it through the whole film, but from what I saw the main actor was irritating to watch.
