Something's Gotta Give (2003)
Disliked and was disgusted.
I was so grossed out that anyone would even consider Jack for this part. To see his butt...barf city. To think Reeves falling for Keaton was as believable as Keaton kissing Jack, much less wanting to have sex with Jack is such a demented case of using names to get people to watch. If this had been a book, well it would gone in the trash as every Harlequin Blaze I've attempted to read has gone.
And to use the daughter as a crutch to bring the mother and man together was so unbelievable -she would not have invited this to the secluded place for a fun time if they weren't already sexually active -this isn't the 50's.
After a night or two in the sack and she sees him out with a girl and confesses her love for him through tears. Right! How desperately pathetic. And then every scene after - she's doing over dramatic fake crying.
And then, she writes the whole ordeal as a play. How tacky, and wrong that is?
The only reason I watched the movie was my husband had it on - he wanted to see it and refused to watch it in another room where I wasn't working.
Thanks for putting another stupid movie out there -- the dollars could have been better spent.
Pearce Brosnan would have been a better choice - even Mel Gibson or Harrison Ford , but then they wouldn't want anything to with a crappy storyline and script.
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005)
Awesome Movie
Very well done -- the cast was perfect, the script well thought out and written. Obviously, the crew were fans or familiar with the originals and picked up on the little details that makes Herbie so lovable.
This is not a remake and I so greatly appreciate that. Herbie is a classic and this is a great addition.
I rented this movie along with another for research and enjoyed it so much. I can't wait for my 12 yr old son to come home from school so I can watch it again.
Oh, the music, from my era and Herbie has always been my love bug, but it was awesome to hear the songs again. My 16 yr old will roll his eyes, but then next week, he'll be playing the music. He's discovering my era had the best music and movies.
Herbie is great to break the generation gap.
The Honeymooners (2005)
I do not recommend this movie...
I grew up watching The Honeymooners and other than using the title, character names and jobs, there is no resemblance. The script was poorly written and I seriously had to fight to stay awake or even in the room. I don't blame the actors, they did the best they could with what they were given to work with, however, if I were them, I would not add this title to their resume.
However, I'm sure the generations who didn't have the privilege of seeing the original shows, this might be OK for them.
Some things shouldn't be attempted and remaking classics such as The Honeymooners is one of those.
