oooh yes, i really enjoyed it. even if it does have jim carrey in it...

WideWebWitch · 09/04/2007 18:04

I've tried and tried to watch this but have never got past the first 10 minutes. Kate Winslet irritates me profoundly, I can't explain why. And I dislike Jim Carrey with the exception of The Truman Show, which I thoguht was fantastic.

juicychops · 09/04/2007 18:07

i dont get it. I lost interest as it got a bit weird for me

gegs73 · 09/04/2007 18:09

Its abit odd but quite good and there is nothing much else on tonight. TV for me has been rubbish this easter.

Y0rkshirelass · 09/04/2007 18:10

Sounds like it'll be a marmite film then!
It does look a bit weird (and Jim Carrey irritated me) but I am quite intrigued.....

Was really good actually, not something I would watch normally. You do have to keep up with it though, not something you can have a loo break in or you don't get it. Really suprisingly good. Hard to understand, but stick with it, it makes sense at the end.

PavlovtheCat · 09/04/2007 18:34

Yes, excellent film. Even if you dislike Jim Carey. I hate jim carey, and did nonat to watch but was persuaded to, it was great. Only a couple of moments when he became almost Jim-like\and I prepared myself for a walk out, but did not get as far as that, and worth it for the film.
My DP did not get it.

I loved it, a breath of fresh air compared to the usual mainstream Hollywood pap.However I can understand why others are less keen.
I normally can't stand Jim Carey (apart from The Truman Show-I'm with you there Wickedwaterwitch).

expatinscotland · 09/04/2007 20:59

No, it's kack.

Charleesunnysunsun · 09/04/2007 21:00

No it's pants

SenoraPostrophe · 09/04/2007 21:00

yes, it's great.

www carey is as good in it as he is in the truman show. try to get past the kate thing.

liath · 09/04/2007 21:01

Poncey pile of sh*te, IMHO!

southeastastra · 09/04/2007 21:01

yes i loved it, have to watch heroes instead though.

i like kate winslet

Y0rkshirelass · 09/04/2007 21:02

Well it's starting now, going to give it a go!

i really really liked it, watched it again immediately after when i watched before.
good twist.

good film despite jim carey

expatinscotland · 09/04/2007 21:02

Keep your cricket bat handy, you'll want to smash Kate Winslet's head in.

Y0rkshirelass · 09/04/2007 21:03

PMSL, have no cricket bat, have a large french bread stick in the cupboard that I may belt the TV with if she is highly irritating!

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 09/04/2007 21:04

She annoyed the crap out of me in it.

I kept shouting, 'DUMP HER!' at the screen.

MrsGumby · 09/04/2007 21:04

I was really, really disappointed with this film; believed all the hype and when I eventually watched it thought it was a bag of sh*te...plodding and pretentious. I only watched an hour before losing the will to live (maybe it got better after then...).

Shame, because I think Kate Winslet's fab.

elasticbandstand · 09/04/2007 21:29

ah well, i didnt hav any preconceived ideas.
go with an open mind is best

elasticbandstand · 09/04/2007 21:35

a spotless mind

Gobbledigook · 09/04/2007 21:36

It's very bizarre and very irritating. I wouldn't watch it again.

expatinscotland · 09/04/2007 21:37

I kept waiting for it to get better.

It didn't.

I should have gone with my gut and switched it off.

I did with 'Before Sunset' and have no regrets .

nallydoolally · 09/04/2007 21:41

personally think its fantastic and am not jim carrey fan at all (he doesn't do stupid facial expressions and annoying voices in this one). have seen it several times and have it on now as well.....
