My mom called this Movie Shirley Temple bullsh!t



I refuse to watch this movie,
for one thing, I don't want to see
Jennifer Hudson & Alicia Key's dry acting,
a stupid story plot
and everyone catering to a little
blonde haired girl, like in the Shirley Temple
movies.

I was about to ask the same question. Get back in your cage, sidbre.

Jennifer Hudson was actually VERY good! i was surprised.
But yeah... Alicia Keys needs to stick to music. Her acting was borderline pitiful.

to be honest, i thought alicia did a decent job. the bar wasn't raised high because i have never seen her in anything before other than smokin aces.

I didn't realize musicians were only allowed to sing, not expand their career by acting. Side note, not all actors start off great! They get better as they go.

reply

My problem with Miss Keyes is her looks. Can't stand her mouth, her eyes, her nose...


She's fugly. She always looks like she smells sh!t.

reply

I find these opinions about musicians sticking to music, and letting the actors act.

Ya know, since Queen Latifah worked the hell out of her role in this movie.

reply

I disagree. Alicia did a great job, what makes you think it's so bad??

reply

Alicia didn't have much of a part, but what she did have, she pulled off VERY well. I'm curious at to the standards people are comparing her to, because she did great.

You say that you refuse to watch the movie; why not read the book? Neither the book, nor the movie for that matter, are about people catering to a Shirley Temple-ish character. The story is actually quite beautiful, and in my opinion, it was brought to life perfectly in this movie adaptation. If you read the book, you would see how well-casted this movie actually was. Try to keep an open mind!

Good times, noodle salad.

And it sounds like you and your mother are abusing the privilege of being stupid:
1) Why, on earth, would you go to a website for a movie you've already decided not to see? It makes no sense.
2) Obviously you have not reached the age when you make your own decisions, regardless of what your mommy thinks. How old are you, 12?
3) Your mother (and you) are seriously misguided regarding this movie. The message I got was that if we try hard enough, African Americans and whites can understand each others' pain. Pain transcends race.

So, because I don't like a movie, that I did see, and I don't agree
with you, I'm stupid??


I don't have time to argue with you.

So first you said..

I refuse to watch this movie,

Jennifer Hudson & Alicia Key's dry acting.

Now you say..

So, because I don't like a movie, that I did see, and I don't agree
with you, I'm stupid??

So which is it?
Sounds like the only bullsh!t is you.

reply

You put too much energy into this, it is not that deep.

Sidbre2006,
It CERTAINLY sounds like YOU put way too much energy into this because YOU keep returning with some lame/stupid defense. Why don't you just GO AWAY.

I guess, I bid you good day if you feel so strongly about something dumb like
this, you must have NO LIFE.

Jeez, jerkwad much? This story is beautiful and you seem to not know anything about the subject.

You spin me around

reply

You are abusing the privilege. :)

Vicious fish bit at your toes...made you lie and numbed your soul.

reply

You MAY be abusing your privilege, but that's just one opinion, as is your comment
It is a well-written, excellent story with competent acting. We need more films like it. I am disappointed that some of our veteran actresses weren't used.
Of the thousands of actors throughout filmdom, few start out great.
Queen L. is really good and JH shows much potential.

That's your opinion.

Shirley Temple? Whoa, how original is your mum!?

I really don't understand when someone comes to a movie's forum to announce they won't be watching said movie. Is anyone meant to care what you do?

Big Gay Al, it has recently come to our attention that you are gay.
