my intention wasn't to argue:

you like what you like, i like what i like. I'd only slag someone for watching something like Bratz or The Hottie & The Nottie (if they're >13)


except

all boxes chocolates come with a list and a picture so you do know what you're going to get.


^


the manufacturers learnt their lesson

the film highlighted a major flaw in the choclate box industry


Hate it

awful message about how the cheerful idiot will always sail through life as long as he does what he's told and tries real, real hard. Smugly hopping through a picture-book American history, parts of it bring about an actual physical reaction of frustration.
Sorry.


BRILLIANT!

I actually really like it.


i think i might've cried

watching it one time...


don't

i think i might well up again!


They're making a sequel

My eye twitches.


Nah

Tom Hanks and his one man against adversity films (that's all of them by the way) can do one.


i like it, i think it's good

engaging, funny, enjoyable etc. quite a journey. though i can very much see why cynical people don't like it.


yes I agree

I understand the whole idiot makes good, liberal rebel gets raped, gets AIDs, dies, but you know, Sally Field dying! Bubba dying! Jenny dying! Tears! TEARS! TEARS! NIXON!


Was he actually meant to be

a bit beshel?

Like Sean Penn in "I am Sam" or David Schwimmer in Friends


Can't much remember it

but I think I recall it being quite patronising.


really entertaining film...

with a really really scary subtext:
stupidity, war and conservatism will always be rewarded while anyone who rebels against the system will suffer and die.
not as 'lovely' as i'd first thought.


surely its more to do with being a good person

and doing your best?
addmittedly a bit gay but yknow.


as a person?

He's a bit spastic isn't he.


see: neecho's answer

I enjoy it, but it is so easily dislikeable.

I guess I may be a bit biased since it contains music that makes me almost literally start shivering. And when music I like is in films, wow, I love it. Dunno why.


It's an ok film with a scary amount of product placement in it.

The fact that it won Oscars shows the Academy Awards up for the crock of shite that they are.
