Cute movie
Pros: .
Cons: .
Even if your not into fashion, you might enjoy this movie. It's got a great storyline with lessons learned and it has awesome, but unaffordable clothes. ...

Might be better if you read the book first
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Movie moved quickly
Cons: Too many gaps
This movie met all my expectations. The movie went as fast as the book did, but it seemed like you would've had to have read the book before watching it. I watched it on a plane and it kept me awake, so it is entertaining but I wouldn't recommend spending money on it unless you are a fan of the book. ...

It's not a comedy
Pros: It got a little better towards the end, but not really
Cons: Almost everything
I thought this was supposed to be a comedy, box said it was, but I was wrong.. It made me laugh maybe twice. The movie is just two people, who are very opposite from each other, constantly fighting about every little thing. It seemed to realistic and wasn't very fun to watch. Very annoying in the beginning. ...

This movie redeemed itself toward the end
Pros: Chirstopher Walkens character, reality check
Cons: Crude humor that wasn't funny
This movie had great potential but it didn't meet expectations. It was a cool concept and if the writers weren't trying too hard to be funny in the beginning the movie would've been really enjoyable. The movie was just ok up until the end when it got really, really good. Looking past the slap stick humor, the movie sends a good message. ...

Too bad they aren't making another one
Pros: Fast paced, loved the characters
Cons: I wish there could've been more. Disappointed when it ended
This movie rocked! It was filled with surprises. I loved Kelsey Grammar as beast. It's not everyday you see Frasier tearing people apart. You must watch the credits to the end and the deleted scenes. ...

It's an ok book
Pros: The first murders happened in my hometown
Cons: Mainly focused on Barbara Graham and vaguely touched on the 10 murders committed by one of the main characters.
The book is a little dry because it was written in the 70's and is based on historical fact. But I liked it. Partly because the first murders happened in my hometown and I have a very good idea where everything is at.
I didn't like that the book started with the main focus on the 10 murders committed by Jack Santo but ended up focusing on Barbara Graham, who was only accused of one murder. I understand Barbara Graham was the first woman in California executed by the gas chamber and they made a movie on her, but if the author was going to plead her case, he should've written a whole book on her instead.
Overall I did like it and I think anyone who's ever spent considerable amount of time in Chester might get a kick out of the first few chapters. ... -

No joke- A really good way to kill time!!!
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Storytelling
Cons: The war references, book is way too short
I sometimes keep this book in my car so I have something to read while its warming up, or if I have to wait awhile - like when I arrive early for an appointment. Although I didn't care for the war reference, I loved the short stories! They're a trip!
I wish the book was longer. It took me less than an hour to read, but it's great if you don't have much time to sit down and enjoy a novel.
This new author has lots of potential and I can't wait to read what else she comes up with. ... -

It's the best sequel i've seen in a long time
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Good storyline, very entertaining
Cons: Some of the characters were annoying, but I expect that from a childrens movie. ;)
This movie was great! I think it has a more indepth plot than the first one. It's a good kids movie with a nice love story.

Brokeback
Pros: Beautiful cinematography
Cons: Poor storyline
This movie was just hype. I didn't think it portrayed a love story very well. They could've done a better story line instead of cowboys fighting, hooking up, sadly going home to their families, then meeting each other again. I spent the whole movie not liking the main characters because they were being selfish and hurting those (like their children) who love them and then feeling guilty for not liking them.
Very poor movie. Not groundbreaking like everyone says. ...

Great movie
Pros: Storyline, action, filmography
Cons: Some violent scenes
I was only half way interested in watching this movie when my friend suggested we watched it, but I liked it. The movie kind of gets you thinking and there isn't a dull moment. It's a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone, but there is a lot of violent scenes. I did watch a special version my friend bought overseas and she said it was different than the one she watched in the states. In the movie we watched, she said there were alot more violent scenes and there was a different ending. ...
