I really liked this movie.... different from your average CIA movie, a bit clever... solid entertainment and certainly worth watching.

Sorry but this was sooooo boring, get the whole thing and what it was trying to do but way to silly for my likings.... like a bunch of teenagers put it together. And agree with the warning about the musical - didn't know it was one when I put it in my queue!

Not sure what all the hype is with Snow White at the moment but it was a good 'G' rated version I suppose I would describe it..... My husband got quite board though. I thought it was fresh and the acting was quite good - not much else to say really.

Ok so I think it had a good enough storyline but was a little blah.... It was a bit too flat in places, not enough emotion from the characters I dont think - I would have liked to have seen it dramatised a little where as it just moves through the motions. Could have been better, still I would recommend it if you are running out of things to watch.

This is a feel good movie..... Ffull of super stars which give it its appeal because honestly, its no epic but a good movie none the less. if your after a bit of light veiwing. go for it. Its a nice tale!

Waste of time really, if you want to see an attractive young woman struting her stuff infront of a bunch of men to the confusion of her husband, who are both supposed to be intelects.... than this is the movie for you. I'm only giving it two stars because I only made it half way through (and cant speak for the other half) it was so boring and didnt get to see any action of any kind.... sorry

I'm giving this two stars only because my husband laughed through it.... It is not a womens movie - its a stupid blokes movie all about their genitalia really! most teen males/early 20 guys will think its funny - girls, dont bother!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
this movie is very fast paced and although unclear about what they are talking about, by reading the breif you catch on pretty quickly. There is not a whole lot to say about it other than it is what it is - when the world financial crisis became apparent, interesting but bad ending!

It was alright. Nothing to write home about but I wouldn't call it a waste of time. Lead lady displayed superb acting, very well done. If your running out of movies to watch, put it on your list.

Awsome Aussie movie, that only aussies will find funny! I thought this was lovely - a real gem.... thank you to the person who wrote this movie, it's about time someone approached greeving without drugs, violence or irreparable mistakes!
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Loved it. So funny, finally a chick flick that blokes will enjoy!!! Put it on you list guys
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
The jury's still out on this one. totally get the storyline - but poorly executed I think, had little inspiration or enthusiasm and had an awful ending that leaves you with a bit of a knot in your tummy. I watched it all the way.... I cant say I got bored but it is very slow - I was expecting that after reading the reviews.... not to sure what else to say.
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Good movie, solid storyline, kept us all glued.... watch it, its worth the time - something a little different.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Excellent, there are some big hits in this movie, action at one of its best in a while! edge of your seat yes, twists and turns, fast paced.... no toilet breaks or you'll miss something!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
It has potential..... I liked it, my husband watched it all the way the kids only dialled in at the end.... I think for a childrens movie (if thats what it was intended for) it was missing the magic. It it had had a bit of make belief it would have shined. but its beleivable I suppose.... brilliant acting I'll say that much, and simply beautifully made.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Awsome movie, just loved it and would watch again. Its a little light hearted yes, no great sinister plot or roll around comedy involved but great entertainment, Classic Ben Stiller - Watch it for sure people!!! Brillant cast.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Loved it. Truely great movie, hits the heart strings a few times and really opens your eyes as to just how much hurt went on. Quite funny in parts. Again, I think everyone should watch this movie, especially teenagers...... agree with you Pap! Terrific acting to boot - even my husband enjoyed it and hes all about the action! Well done guys
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
This is quite a good movie - I must say for a true story and such a huge revelation, I've never heard of this story before now. Not action packed by any means, but truely gripping- agree with the waking up the kids comment.... I checked in on my boys a kissed them on the forehead after!!! Excellent acting, everyone should watch this movie.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
The worst Adam Sandler movie ever!!!! Not totally un-entertaining but not a good use of time either. Only laughed a couple of times... it quite predicable.... yeah, thats about it!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Didnt even make it to the end - to fast talking so you have to watch it with subtitles, really terrible storyline, the star chartacter is a relatable one.... it's hard to stay with it as it is so low action. There were a few cleaver comments but thats about it. I wouldnt watse you time!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Yeah its pretty bad. Acting is fine - the movie is a bad one. Watse of time
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
There have been many bad reviews about this movie but it is fabulous! funnier than the first an little more action packed and I loved it!
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
OK - so not sure why the movie is called abduction...... Good story line but dragged at the begining - almost as if it were a teen movie. I liked the concept but I think it could have been a little less preppy in places. Worth watching though!
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
So not the best movie I've seen - held my attention till the end but nothing spectacular to report. I think if the star of the movie was male, it would be a little boring and very done before!
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
If you loved Tintin as a kid, you'll love this movie. The graphics are awsome, great adventure storyline - almost something for everyone (not little kids though I'd say)..... bit of comedy in there - its a solid flick!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Three stars for acting and graphics.... jury is a littlle out. Its a good murder movie but I think the concept was a little too far fetched - meaning even after watching the whole thing to the end, the explaination for the murders didnt cut it for me. Reasonably fast paced, not boring by any means - I suppose a little predicatble in places.....hhhmmmmmm
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
This is a cracker! loved it - lots of hidden comedy (or not so hidden) for the adults and kept the kids entertained. Its a winner!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
This true story is one you have to certainly listen too. You need a basic interest in government organisation types of movies to stay intrigued. There is alot of information that is quickly thrown at the viewer but luckily for most of us you can follow it without having to understand everything they just said! Gets a little one tracked but I found it interesting- its not your usual CIA movie, it’s a story about what happened to one agent over the later part of her career.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
You'll either love it or hate it. It gives a powerfull insight into a very different way of life - yes a depressing one and yes the movie is short on action but it is not meant to be a blockbuster. If your in the mood (I was when I watched it) it is different but gripping. And I did watch it with subtitles from the beginning, think you'll need to.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Worth a watch..... be warned you have to pay attention though - not a leisurly watch. Entertaining non the less, not the most gripping movie I've ever seen but three stars.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Yeah it is weird, and unique... I liked it. Bad ending though - it really didnt do the rest of the movie justice as it definately needed to lead somewhere and the ending just killed the movie.... its like they didnt know how to finish it. But the first 3/4 of the movie I think was quite creative.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
This is a good movie. I dont normally like slower moving movies that leave you feeling down, but this had enough intrigue to make it worth the watch. It was definately a journey, an emotional one, and I think it is one of the only movies I've ever seen Russel Crowe play without over acting every scene.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
I'm thinking two stars is generous. Only laughed twice and considering everyone is jumping up and down about how funny this movie is supposed to be........ If the cast were men and not women it would be just another one of "those" movies! Makes you cranky watching it
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Really good. Is tinkering on the edge of being boring but it isn't. Took me by suprise as I sort of wrote it off before it started, really well acted - really good movie!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Couldn't get into this. I tried really hard but it was soo boring. Turned it off after about 25 mins...... I can see how people would like it so only rent it if your really into this style of movie.
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Look..... yes its another cop comedy..... but its good. I enjoyed it - no masterpeice but a good flick
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Sorry guys...... this movie sucks! soo boring, nothing interesting in it at all! The only thing I would say is that the cast was good and they acted well.... It's a shame it didnt work for them.
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Man, talk about cry! cry, cry, cry!!! I dont know anyone that didn't cry! Dont watch it if you've just lost your doggie.......... good movie though, good family one, bit different as it moves through life quite quick were other films linger.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Crap-ish. Boring and weird. you have to wait till the end to watch anything that you hadnt seen before or before it starts to engage you with any type of cleverness..... if you can call it that. Just another movie for Tom Cruise to beat his chest in. And it goes for ever!!!!!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
This is pretty cool. There is not much by way of hiden comedy for adults but the true blue ausie culture that australian children are less subject to these days is ripe. It is made up of all the olf australian peoms and songs acted out (with a bit more action thrown in) with the same cast of cartoon aussie animals....... my son just loves it (and he's not a TV watcher). I think it would make everyone say at some point "oh yeah, I remember that!!!!"
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Not as funny as I thought - not sure what I was expecting, but I think it was left too much up to the veiwer to make their own entertainment out of it..... Yes the jokes are funny but I dont think it worked as well as I wanted it too. Good effort but didnt hit the mark
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
It's ok.... boring though. Thats about all I have to say. Very slow paced and a bit depressing.
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
It's a great Aussie movie. Starts off awsome - so funny - classic australian humor but it does slow down, and yes is quite sad. Good effort and I think we should all see it at least once.
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Look - yeah, no great momentus hidden story line - it is what it is but a good flick all the same. Edge of your seat even if it was predicable! Worth viewing
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Yeah- not sure why I liked it so much, but I did. Think I'm putting it down to an aussie movie actually being more than a group of lame teenagers doing something thats been done before! Alot of violence - thats actually all the movie as about but has strong storyline that is well executed. Good australian acting. If you dont like edge of your seat murdering rampage movies this ones not for you.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
I give it one star cause I somehow made it to the end. One of the weirdest things ive ever seen, not really anything else to say other than its a strange one. wouldnt waste your money on it guys
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Really really good. Not into superhero movies - ot sure why I rented it but I'm so glad I did!! Really interesting, good storyline, kind of a serious take on the typical make believe stuff often seen in these types of movies. Got something for everyone!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Disappointing. Good effects - two stars for effort but a bit of a fizzler. No great moment, twist or anything non-predicatble.
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
I give it two stars only for the action but the movie was a bad one and I'm shocked Nicolas Cage got on board. Simply rubbish storyline and no good feeling at the end - or any feeling for that matter. Just confusion about what you just saw. Absurd is a good way to decribe it yes!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Mind-numbingly boring and eventless.
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Really good, edge of your seat stuff. Brilliant acting, great story and the most suspence I've felt in a long time. highly recommend
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Rubbish. So bored I had to slap myself to stay awake. Soooo not interesting!
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Couldn't hear it or follow it. went over my head but can appreciate the acting and directing. Dont attempt to watch it unless you can insure an uninterupped few hours with a well rested brain!
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
I love this movie. Have watched it over and over and laugh at something new everytime I watch it. Truely entertaining for its adult audience and I cant talk it up enough. Brill !!!!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Sarah
This was a poor effort to say the least. Dissapointing because it has a decent story to tell and fell way short - there was nothing special about the effects - looks like ametures put it together but I made it all the way to the end. If you've got nothing better to do give it a go......
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Very very good movie. I love x-men anyway but this was a little something else. Great directing, fantastic effects - what else do you need! awsome.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
I was pleasently suprised with this - really good storyline with the perfect mix of everything.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Am I the only one that hates this movie. and I find it hard to believe that intelligent people find this entertaining. Not funny at all, which is probably what half the problem is as I thought it was suposed to be a comedy! If your the type of person that laughs at american dad than you'll like it. I didnt. Waste of a Sunday afternoon!
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
Boring, hard to hear and dark graphics makes for really LONG viewing. Not feeling this one guys, thought I would enjoy it - had a decent concept just badly exercuted.
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Truely entertaining movie. I really got into this one, I know memory loss movies can be blah but it was different - fresh - good suspence, good cast and action packed. I'm recommending this one
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Yep, Bruce Willis plays another FBI role. You know what - it was great! different, from the wise-cracking cop he normally plays, this brought a new storyline to the table and I would definately recommend it! The fantastic cast makes for a good movie filled with something for everyone.
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
OK - so I can see where all the great reviews are coming from - there was alot of thought that went into this one but I have to say it bombed for me. Yes, great acting but not a spectacular storyline, was way to much in this movie and I think there was alot of room for improvement in terms of drama. This is definately one of those movie you either love or hate.
(Maybe) - review by Sarah
Boring at times, bit slow on the storyline but interesting enough. Worth watching, has an edge to it that makes it a sucsesful movie, great acting by all and I enjoyed it. Not bad
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
Cool as - loved it, slightly less than action packed but really interesting and held my attention. Great effects and good acting, its a good bit of fun. Not for the manliest of men, but for the rest of us that dont need guns and cars it was good viewing!!!
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
This was a suprise for me - I really enjoyed this one - truely gripping. About time a slightly different justice system movie was made, would highly recommend! Well acted. Was difficult to hear though
(Excellent) - review by Sarah
Best of the Fast & Furious movies by far. Awsome, loved every minute and was sad when it was over!!! A must see
(Not to be missed!) - review by Sarah
I was mortified! Love a great crime movie, gore and whatnot - this was far from what I was expecting and find it hard to believe that it's rated 15 as the content is diturbing. Not cool, boring to boot and if I wasn''t waiting for something to happen to lift the movie I'd have turned it off.
(Don't bother!) - review by Sarah
I hate alien movies - thought this was a bit clever though. I watched it the whole way through and have to say I enjoyed it. Not the best movie of the year but held my attention. Worth watching
(Worth watching) - review by Sarah
This was a great movie, I've been waiting for a fresh concept in a movie and this was it - really interesting, highly recommend!
