Not so much so-bad-it’s-good as so-bad-it-doesn’t-seem-real.
Full review at ScreenCrush.
i literally payed no attention to this except to a scene a where Will Smith angrily sings Row Row Row Your Boat to an Old Woman on a Subway.
One of the purest shit sandwiches I’ve ever tasted. Still think that Will Smith is an abomination.
It was over the top sappy, but I teared up a lot so I thought it worked. There was a lot of lazy writing where things just didn’t make sense. But I’m. A sucker for this kinda movie in general.
Brilliant. Beautiful script. Meaningful story. Perfect ending. Absolutely brilliant.
To never trust an elderly woman because they might be a private investigator is the one lesson this taught me.
The cast is commendable here, each giving good performances and doing the best they can with all they're given. The plot on the other hand is all over the place. It's convoluted and there's so many extraneous pieces that all have to conveniently work out in order for everything to resolve. It tries so hard to be a deep examination of grief, love, time and death but it's really not.
The use of elaborate domino set pieces to represent what they're trying to achieve was admirable though. All this really boils down to is rich people trying to deal with their problems in overly complicated and profound ways.
This felt so long and so i was distracted. I wish i had paid more attention toward the end though i am glad about the ending
