Movie Review


Call me stoneage but this movie is awesome. I personally like how smooth the storyline is. Eventhough it jumps from Cameron Diaz's scene to Kate Winslet's, it does not confuse at all. Very neat. The lines are not cheesy at all for a love story, as a matter of fact, they're meaningful and quite intellectual. Comedy wise, well, you would certainly end up with a few mild laughters, but nothing to make you fall off your seat.
Cast evaluation:-
Cameron Diaz- Well she is Hollywood's royalty known for her versatility to bring different roles. But i think she didn't shine as great as Kate Winslet in this movie, sorry to say. However, thumbs up for her 'trying to cry' efforts.

Kate Winslet-I thought she was amazing in this movie. Loved the British accent. Her various facial expressions in this movie was portrayed very well. Her lines are very genuine and really touches you. Good job!

Jude Law-I think Jude Law is a good actor for his sense of humour is one of a kind. He doesn't have to do silly things to make comedy. He isn't really the funny type but somehow he manages to make people laugh with his ethics. His role here is really different from 'Alfie' and it's nice to see a different side of him.

Jack Black- I've never been a fan of Jack Black. He's a very good comedian with stellar acting skills. But it is something about his character in this movie that you find it hard to relate to. It's not bad but not convincing enough. Maybe it's because he can't shed that funnyman image that causes the supposedly touching parts seem less moving. Nonetheless, towards the end, he kind of got the hang of it and delivered a mediocre acceptable performance.

A-

I like reviewing movies. Maybe i should be a critic next time, free movies sound good eh? I think I'll write up on Enchanted next.
