AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

johnpmoseley Brilliant, funny meditation on the subtle, under-the-radar ways in which family members can inflict deep, lifelong hurt on each other. Beautifully drawn and played characters, fantastic cast, deeply satisfying story, many laughs. Hard to beat, you'd think, but maybe a lot of the low-raters here came hoping for the Sandler and Stiller of comedies like The Water Boy and Zoolander. Potential viewers like these, yes, probably don't bother, you'll probably be bored.

saraccan Characters are relatable and likable, which i think is an important element in this genre. ben stiller and adam sandler are just playing themselves while dustin hoffman portrays a grumpy old artist dad. its about this dysfunctional family, their relationship among each other and how they deal with their father.

savethecloudsfoundation This has to be one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. There is nothing interesting about any of the characters at all. I hate all of them. They are all so caught up in their own lives that they don't even hear anything that anyone else is saying. And that is super realistic and exactly the way real life is and that's why I gave it 5 stars. If it wasn't for that I would have given it 1. I hate the old man. Every time he opens his mouth I just want to punch him in the face. His two sons are losers. And their children are messed up too. One is making porn and calling it art and the other sounds autistic or something. The characters are just bad bland and boring. They are also annoying. They are the kind of people you try to avoid having to talk too. Don't watch this movie. It's not worth the time.

gsygsy Perhaps this movie is meant to be satirical. A light-hearted examination of what it means to live the life of a wacky self-obsessed and self-important scultor (Hoffman) and his zany wife (Thompson) and his (not hers: she's his third wife) three troubled children (Sandler, Stiller, Marvel) in the Big Apple. Soft targets? Undoubtedly. The performers grab their roles and squeeze them for emotional possibilities, except for Marvel who quietly underplays her underwritten role and ends up as someone we feel we might know, or at least want to know. Cameo appearances (Adam Driver, Candice Bergen, Sigourney Weaver) merely contribute to the suffocating sense of self-indulgence ("look who's in my movie). It barely seems possible that this is the writer/diretor of WHILE WE'RE YOUNG and THE SQUID AND THE WHALE. I hope he finds himself again before too long.
