Did Anyone at all like this movie?


Haven't seen it yet, but judging from thread titles, I shouldn't waste my time. Just curious if there's anyone out there that liked it. If so, what did you see (besides Lake Bell's tits) that made you like it when most everyone else hated it?

I actually watched this movie recently. I really didn't think it was bad. Sure, it had its flaws, but I found it to be watchable. I rented it from Redbox and I thought it was a decent way to pass the time despite some flaws of it. I also listened to the commentary that same night.

I'd say give it a chance.

All I need is one mic...

yes. my girlfriend and I enjoyed it. Great? No. Entertaining 1hr and 20min little thriller? yes. I'm just happy when I can get through a movie that's not 85% shaky cam and high speed shutter. the cinematography was gorgeous, the girls nice to look at and the situation, while predictable, was interesting. We are suckers for survival in the woods horror/action/suspense movies, we've even made our own, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEwXdWg625Q so maybe I'm biased.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I found it really thrilling and the character development was actually there as opposed to a lot of other movies.

It seems like a lot of people had a problem with the fact that it isn't that original but neither are very many movies that come out these days and I think it's a good take on a very familiar plot. It has pretty original dialogue/banter and I found scenes to be pretty personal, as opposed to how broad and general (and purposly, onbviouslt) plot-moving) a lot of dialogue can be in other films.

Wasn't too bad.

No, not at all. It was terribly bad.

I thought it was pretty decent. More of a psychological drama than an all-out horror thriller though. Rather simple, straight-forward script...could have been beefed up to be sure.

I sure did like it.

Well if you like a movie in which our three plucky heroines scream and panic a lot, run around chased by card board cut out - er no sorry, well-rounded male characters, and spout dialogue that consists primarily of 'like' and 'you know', whilst accusing each other of sleeping with each other's boyfriends - you'll just going to love it.
