Movie Reviews of The Tollbooth
Movie Review: Not just for chicks
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I watched this movie together. We both found it funny, touching, honest, and inspiring. We have recommended it to lots of our friends!Movie Review: Marla Sokoloff should be more famous
Summary: 4 Stars
This is another cute movie that stars the adorable Marla Sokoloff - it makes no sense to me why this actress isn't more famous.
The movie isn't brilliant, but it's sweet, realistic and funny. It has some great characters in it, good acting and let's Marla shine a little.
I'd recommend this if you're a fan or if you want to see a movie about a Jewish family and their interconnected relationships.
Movie Review: Lackluster and unfinished
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted to like this movie and I did like many of the actresses. The plot left a lot to be desired, however. What I liked most was seeing the paintings that Sarabeth created. What I liked least was an ending that left a lot dangling. (spoiler alert) I'm not sure what the director was trying to accomplish with this movie--if she wanted to show Sarabeth's growing independence, the point of that was rather blunted by a too-perfect love interest, with no great answers as to why she was giving him up or why she couldn't have both man & career. In fact, the story of Sarabeth's lesbian sister overshadows Sarabeth's own story & you are left wondering whether the sister's love story works out, whatever happened to the female priest she was interested in, etc. And not sure why the father's sickness was brought up--does he get to see his grandkids or does he die first? Why bring it up if you're not going to finish the story? And what happens to the other sister? Do they find the errant brother & bring him to justice? Live in the parents' house forever? Does she have her baby ok? Don't even get me started on the ending, where Sarabeth gets to the tollbooth & just turns around... OK, symbolic or whatever, everything is so centered on what is going on in her head, that it makes an incredibly dull and anticlimatic ending. My husband turned to me & said, "is that it?" Um, yeah. Not sure what the other reviewers saw in this film, but I just found it disappointing.
