They destroyed this film w/ all the violence right from the opening. Really Horrible, & unexpected. My bad for not reading the reviews prior to considering the film. And unfortunately, I took my mom to see it. If she wasn’t disabled and difficult to move from the theater, I would have left after the first 7 minutes. The extreme violence is for shock value only. Disgusting. The film was incongruous - a stupid comedy at times - a serious murder drama ? Or just about the incredible banal, high-schoolish antics of adult women? Or was the primary theme about the sex lives of “dykes”, as the film puts it. Absolutely ridiculous film… a waste of time and money. It easily places in the top 10 worst films I’ve ever seen.

Incredible movie. Absolutely impressed with the creativity and masterful way the story unfolds. It’s a classic story of our culture, of urban life, and all the unique issues we face, like ageism, gangs, violence, racism, societal presssure, and all the opposites, of bravery, fearlessness, acceptance, change, and love that goes way beyond romance.

I had low expectations of this Meg Ryan film, and my hunch was correct.. Maybe because We’ve seen airport stories before (much better than this one). I tried to escape the boredom of the film by a forced nap. The acoustics were poor, so I got part of the NEVER-ENDING, tedious dialog, in the most incredibly uninteresting environment you could ever, ever imagine…. A monochrome airport. Ugh. I kept hoping til the bitter end that the story would go somewhere, like into bed, or anything, but it didn’t. One elderly couple actually walked out, & I was envious, I was w/ my mom, and being hard of hearing she probably didn’t have a clue what all the talk was about. There’s so much you could do, stuck together in a place w/ many kitchens & bathroom, and empty planes, ALL illegal of course that would have been more interesting than talk therapy for almost two hours. Like leave the airport, go on an adventure, pretend you’re thrill seekers. Instead it was Bla bla bla. No one looked happy leaving this film.

Incredible movie. Don’t rely on the professional critics, they are from a different planet.

Wow. Great acting, & good nightmare material. Ugh. The penchant for violence rules much of the film industry. Apparently men love it, as violence reins from start to finish, completely blood soaked slasher, especially graphic. Who dreamt this one up? I saw the preview & should have known it was a “no go”. I suffered through it because I was with a person that I couldn’t leave alone…he didn’t mind the film & will remember nothing of it tomorrow. I can’t begin to imagine the karma that is created by producing a film about killing & death, just for fun.

FYI - spoiler alert…🥶🥶🥶 We probably all remember when this happen, but who knew what went into this rescue? Not me! For all the incredible hero’s who worked diligently to save the boys, congratulations, you did it! What am amazing story. I loved the way the villagers were respected, and asked if they were willing to have their fields flooded to try & save the boys. That’s what I thought right after hearing that the kids could panic, is they’d have to put the kids to sleep. For the one Thai 💙🦋💙diver who lost his life trying to save the boys, you earned a special place next to the angels in heaven. 🌷🌸❤️🌸🌷

I actually didn’t want to see the movie based on the previews, and while not perfect, it was a surprisingly creative, fun & sweet musical with multiple storylines. And I was really happy that the film was about much more than dancing. I didn’t care for the ending, but I’ll overlook it as the rest of the film makes up for it. We Americans deserve much better in film than what we normally get, which is content filled with a ridiculous amount of stress-inducing violence, (undoubtedly the creation of many men). “In the Heights” definitely delivers Something to smile about. And, oh, I don’t think the criticism is warranted regarding the lack of African-Americans or other minorities. I really think the film was quite balanced in that respect, especially since one of the main characters was a black male.

I hope no one pays 10 or $12 to see this movie. It should really be on TV on something like the Hallmark channel.I only saw the movie because I needed to take an elderly family member out. It’s a sweet idea, that a kid can say a few prayers & heal the dead as a result., it delusional as well. Kevin Sorbo is in it and I guess he’s into movies that preach the Jesus thing and I’m not into it. The kid who is the miracle worker will definitely need to die in the end. Otherwise she would be hounded for the rest of her life for being a miracle worker.

I think the storyline is believable enough, and Russell Crowe certainly does a great job as the main character. I don’t care for senseless tense violence as the primary theme of the movie but if you don’t mind that kind of stuff look for a five dollar day at the theater.

Great story about a victim of the system, & how the government destroyed her life. I felt the acting was excellent - very believable character portrayals. For the most part, the pro critics are jaded and I don't find their reviews realistic or helpful at all. They even gave Peter Rabbit bad reviews and it was such a delightful movie
