CanEHdian Pride

Being a big Greg Kinnear fan I was awaiting the release of this movie. Unfortunatley it was a slow moving, talk fest that I just couldn't get into. I thought the storyline was bad and that by the end of the movie that nothing had really happened. I felt like I had just been in a fight with my girlfriend for 90 minutes and it finally was over. If you are under 30 years old I would avoid this movie. It was horrible.

I hope Kinnear goes back to comedy because though I thought he did an admirable job in this movie he is much more suited to comedic roles.

2/10

I cannot believe the rankings that this movie is getting because I thought it was great. The reason it gets such low rankings is that everyone turned their minds off the minute she started talking to the camera because any movie that acknowledge the "4th wall" can't be worth watching. Get over it. Much like Shante too many people who watch movies follow rules when the do so and miss out on great stuff when they form impression of movies before they are even started. The acting in this movie was top-notch. Fox played a confident women, which may frighten some viewers, that will not let anyone walk over top of her including her boyfriend. The battle of wits that took place between Andersen and Fox moved this picture so well and made me look forward to the next scene waiting for the counteraction by the other party. Andersen was laugh out loud funny and Chestnutt was equally entertain playing the easily persuaded (by both Fox and Andersen) boyfriend.

Bottom line is a rating less than 5 is ridiculous. I'm just glad I got to enjoy it (twice) and I plan on recommending it to many more of my friends.
