Totally Badass!
I've not read the book, but I definitely need to go check it out now. I absolutely loved the series, my only gripe being that there just weren't enough episodes!
It really was okay. Check it out.
The setup is perfect: a lonely female scientist who has had questionable luck in the dating world is asked to try out a humanoid for three weeks. That humanoid is supposedly made just for her, although the film never really gets into what the means (the few times it is addressed the woman seemed surprised that an aspect of the bot was specific to her preference).
I think this movie is a fine entry into the "what is a relationship" genre. While my favorite movie in this area will always be Her I think this movie isn't too far behind. The struggle to show the areas where the humanoid filled and did not fill holes in the woman's life was extremely interesting. I think where they ultimately left the movie was perfect.

Taika Waititi is a GOD among peasants- everything he touches is my favourite and OFMD is a masterpiece of humour (I mean- those who get it/get it), but also has so much depth about race/power structures/ queerness.
I need more shows about queer elders in my life. This slaps -1000/10 - where is my season 2?
This cute little show continues to be ridiculously entertaining. And Henchman #1 continues to be awesome.
You're Sally Reed. And you stood up to Sam.
I didn't.
Yes, you did. It's okay.
{clutches chest} Ugh. That scene with the music was way too sweet. I couldn't help but watch it over and over. Barry can be way too cute and too normal sometimes and then BOOM. He switches to Dexter Morgan.
They realllyyyy stepped it up with this one. In comparison to the original from 1990, this was much much better in my opinion. It was thrilling, some good jump scares but also funny. Characters like Richie and Eddie were much more developed this time. They had an obvious amount of budget to make everything come to live and cast excellent people.
One of the things that stood out for me was how well cast the adult versions were and how all the actors did an amazing job to stay close to the younger versions.
They explored more of the characters than the original which made deaths like Stan's and Eddie more emotional.
I'm glad that I saw it in a cinema, because it really is one of those movies you just need to see on a big screen so that Pennywise really feels awfully close. Bill Skarsgard nailed it, once again.
Brilliant casting, great writing and fantastic overall.
Whew, Samuel sure knows how to ace the art of awkward tension. Talk about feeling uncomfortable 90% of the film. I wish I could just have an entire movie just of Chris and Lisa's lives together - they were too cute.
Patrick Wilson can fuck me sideways.
For a Romance/Comedy, it was unusually good!
One of my favorite films of the year. Imagine a grittier version of Love, Actually. Sometimes a movie just takes over and puts a smile in your face and you just go with it. For me, this was one of those movies.
If you love (american) football, you'll love this movie!
I was just out of high school when this came out, pretty sure I saw this in the theater. It was funny seeing the kids go through some of the same logic I did seeing it the first time: "wait... isn't he her brother?" (yes, but not by blood... so still kinda problematic). Also, laughing about sagging and how HS boys still do it. Unfortunately this movie failed an important "does this hold up" test my kids have with older movies (god, this is an "older" movie): are the main love interests actually cute given style/taste changes... Paul Rudd: yup, but he's the brother (ew!). Christian and Elton? NO. Young Turk? YEAH! but not a love interest in the movie... SMH
I don't know how i feel about this movie... Tbh Alex was a total jerk at some moments.
I wished the story would have been about him discovering his bisexuality instead. Some parts seems to hint at that but then no? I think there's some inconsistance in the story-line about that
I totally wonder if this was written by someone straight because that whole thing about "why don't just come out? my cousin of 16 has come out" and other lines from that type are just... so straight. They really seems to think lgbt people not coming out is a matter of will...
But generally it's a cute movie as long as you can handle the awkwardness of the main character
Also the guy playing Elliot plays in The Gay and Wondrous life of Caleb Gallo, a queer serie on youtube that i totally recommend!
I cannot unsee that Madeline resembles Gal Gadot a LOT in this movie, with that hairstyles.
Cue the complaints as people can't seem to enjoy something the way it is, the way it ends up being, all because they'd rather it be the way they want it to be. I'm sure most of it stems from the strong, majority-populated dislike of Steven Moffat. Hatred or a strong dislike is like poison, deadly and hard to get rid of, no matter what. Once it originates, once it starts spreading, it is practically impossible to rid yourself of it. At this point, people will hate anything that he's involved in even when, especially when, it is utterly ridiculous. As far as the finale is concerned, a bit lackluster, yes, but a decent conclusion. Taking it a step further, an apparent conclusion. There could be more, another season, maybe more: a continuation. I'd love that. This has been an enthralling experience to watch. I want more. I need more.
gosh, i love frederick chilton with all of my heart. #mybabyboy
Charming movie but felt the ending was a little rushed. Would of loved to have seen the characters a little more developed and more of Elliot. But it's still a fun little movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.
SCOOBY DOO PAPÁ! [Supernatural remix]
Girls really turned out great during the season :-)
Don't listen to the people who diminish it as a SatC copy/successor; it really is different.
