Mr. Manhattan

Oh wow! I went into watching this movie thinking I wasn't going to like it. Not usually a fan of the PenaVega movies, but boy was I wrong about this one. Some parts sweet and sentimental. Some parts were almost too real and painful to watch and realize that this really can and does happen to families. Reuben and AJ are phenomenal young actors. Their acting at some parts tore my heart out, not sure how they were able to show such an amazing range of emotions.

While I realize some people don't like faith based movies, I found it quite refreshing and at no point was God or religion just tossed in. It was organic, it wasn't just put in there for no reason. It was a continuation of the family. All in all, this was a keeper.

This one had me from the beginning. This was a great film with no petty, silly moments or characters and lots of depth. I can't understand the negative comments in prior reviews. The Penavegas did a good job and the 2 kids were terrific. Even the landlady(mean old thing😊) was a great character. There was never too much time spent on negative aspects, those moments were kept moving at a good pace. There were enough obstacles to make the plot realistic and I loved the faith element ( which I did not find preachy). Just a good and uplifting movie that left me feeling satisfied. I didn't have any issue with the sound quality, so maybe that was fixed somehow.

To say this was brutal is an understatement. The lead characters are married in real life and this most always leads to a train wreck. Acting was weak at best, storyline incredibly predictable. While watching my gf and I were saying the lines before they were actually spoken. This service asks if my review contains a spoiler. If you can't predict the outcome 10 mins into the movie, you've been living in a box. This is a heavy faith based movie which made it a little preachy (pardon the pun). Don't know why we bothered, guess it was a slow TV night. I should have watched my grass grow instead. This was a BIG miss for me.

We watched bollywood movie Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke which was released in 1993. That movie was superhit and all actors including child characters worked great. The story of this movie is very similar to the bollywood one. Instead of three kids, they used two kids into this one. Instead of male lead's sister kids, they used male lead's brother kids. Im the bollywood version, the male lead's love interest is his boss's daughter. In this one his love interest is real estate lady. Theme and concept is same but some characters and story line were updated. Overall it is really good movie to watch. It has a family story, love story, comedy, religious things all includes. Full family movie.

First, we could not understand much of the conversation. So we tried to enable 'Closed Caption' and guess what? No Closed Caption! I suppose the Closed Caption equipment couldn't understand the verbiage either. We turned the volume up really high, and all it did was make the blurred verbiage loud and still not understandable.

Second, Carlos just wasn't a Manhattan/Wall Street kind of guy so that went over like a lead balloon. Maybe he could be a mechanic or a plumber, or the yard guy, but casting him as a high powered NY type just didn't fly. Besides, he was entirely too nice for that job.

After about 15 minutes of frustration at not understanding lots of the script, the DVR was quickly cleared of this dog of a movie. It was a solid '1.' Here is a hint: Next time, hire professionals that are working behind the camera.
