ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

bkoganbing The person everyone is hoping will Get Well Soon is TV talk show host Bobby Bishop as played by Vincent Gallo. The guy who most wants him to get well is Gallo's agent Jeffrey Tambor. His career rides on Gallo's career.But they both look like they're circling the bowl as Gallo makes some rather crude remarks to a female guest. Immediately he's checked into a mental hospital with the explanation he's suffering a nervous breakdown.Get Well Soon is a combination of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Network and a few other films thrown in for good measure. It doesn't really succeed at being a good imitation of either of those classics. It gets really dull in spots, it has no real life to it.It's just a bad imitation of some good classics.

Amy Adler Bobby (Vincent Gallo), a very successful national television talk show host, stationed in Los Angeles, is having a near-breakdown. He begins asking very inappropriate questions to a beautiful female guest and, shortly after, takes a leave of absence. What is really bothering Bobby is that, long ago and far away, his name was Kevin and he gave up a nice relationship with Lily (Courteney Cox) to pursue his professional ambitions. Lily, who lives in New York City, is living with a jerk (Tate Donovan) and is still seething from Bobby's rejection, even though she watches Bobby's show consistently. But, she also has other problems to deal with, including a mentally ill brother and an eccentric mother (Anne Meara). When Bobby/Kevin comes home to the Big Apple and tries to contact her, will she answer his calls? This film has some very good messages about life and a fine cast. Gallo and Cox are attractive folks who command attention from the viewer, with Meara doing a nice job, too. Add on some good-looking costumes, sets, and production values and you have an eye-catching film. However, even though the script has its heart in the right place, that is, one should never choose success over personal happiness, it employs way too much bad language for comfort, in my opinion. Too bad one can not choose the "clean version" of a film, as one can do when buying a music CD. In any case, if you love romance and/or lesser-known films of quality, this is a good choice. But, if bad language offends you, you should go with something else, such as Return to Me.

dianagardner1 This was an unexpected delight. Very witty and multi-layered, well-performed. Courteney Cox has become an incredibly versatile and subtle actress.I was genuinely surprised at how good this movie was. A feel-good movie without being schmaltzy. Lovely plot turns and funny script. There is so much going on, especially with sub-plots (that tie together wickedly), that it bears up well to further viewings.There is no going wrong with intelligent writing and talented actors. Bring on more movies like this.Courteney Cox's career is definitely worth watching, as she seems to be making intelligent choices when selecting films to star in. It would be great to see her in more serious, nuanced roles.

LibertadBGreen I tried to watch this movie twice, after I borrowed it from the library, but failed to watch more than 37 minutes of it. I curtailed my first attempt because the characters were too annoying, and the plot didn't seem to be going anywhere. The second time I attempted to watch it, I simply fell asleep. After that, I decided not to torture myself with it anymore!The hook comes when the protagonist, a talk show host named Bobby, introduces a supermodel on his show. Played by Carolina Parsons, this gorgeous model sachets onto the set in a miniskirt and a suggestive halter top, and, if you're a heterosexual man like I am, the most natural thing for you to think would be how much you'd like to have sex with her.Bobby, floundering for any interest he might have in common with the model, comments that she shares his initials. She "guesses" that's true. Finally, Bobby gives up trying to sound intellectual with such a beautiful woman he can't think of anything to talk to about except the obvious (sex), and just tells her he'd like to "f***" her.She and the stage crew are startled.He follows up his crude remark with more crude remarks, about how much sex she probably has, and how tired she must be of sex.She gets up and leaves. He is forcibly removed from the set.Other than this scene, this movie seems to be a collection of home video clips of boring, pathetic people, including Lily, played by Courteney Cox, who also played Meryl on Seinfeld. This is apparently par for her course, because Seinfeld himself admitted that his TV series was about nothing.If you enjoy watching footage about nothing, such as episodes of Seinfeld, then you will probably find this movie entertaining. If, however, you're like me and never could stand watching an entire episode of Seinfeld because it was so obviously about nothing, then you are not likely to enjoy this movie either.
