I gotta say and I'm being honest here, this was not a bad movie. It's not necessarily a good movie, but it's middle of the road (not the donkey turd every body else calls it). It had some interesting characters, some wacky performances and a strange plot. It's no classic, but it's better than say "Meet the Spartans" or "Battlefield Earth".
"And this baby's made of chocolate lollipops."
I gave it a 9, I thought it was a very very good film, would quite happily watch it again, Ben Affleck and J Lo were excellent, the only negative is as I mentioned on another thread Pacino didn't quite work in this film, but on the whole a solid 9/10 I think.
shareIt's a good coming of age stories with some flaws sure but the positives outweighs the negatives all the way
Positives:
-Entertaining performances from J Lo and Ben, at times heartwrenching (stick a fork in me I'm done!)
-Funny dialogue
-Excellent performance from Justin Bartha
-Killer soundtrack
-Sweet story
-J Lo's body
Negatives:
-Christopher Walkens superbizarre 2 scene performance where he pronounces words very oddly
-The sex talk which there is a lot of can at times admittedly be a little cringeworthy
-Affleck and Lopez are a little too nice to be believable as tough criminals
But yeah that's about it overall a very enjoyable movie and I usually cry a teardrop or 2 in the end of the movie
Nobody reads books anymore! Movies are always better, especially sequels
Yeah Christopher Walken's cameo was odd, but come there is a lot worse movies than this? Surely? What about all those z list horror films from the sixties for example?
