ritera1 I am not familiar with the graphic novel that this comes from, but found it odd that a somewhat counter-culture guy was always wearing khakis and a tucked-in collared shirt.The big takeaway was I felt Woody Harrelson used this as some sort of self-indulgant vehicle and there was no direction he was listening to. Thus, a good chunk fell flat as he tried just a bit too hard and a bit too loud to be funny. Same with Laura Dern.There was also not a focus to much of it. In the end, the character throught he had "grown up" while in prison but I really didn't see him as such to begin with. There were suggestions what the character was, but nothing clearly defined. But I really didn't think he was childish. More like bitter and set in his ways, never recovering from past failures. There was a redundancy to his being so smug, but that really didn't bother me.The character was on a search but a vague search. Okay, his father died. Which led him to his former friend. Then to his former wife, then to his surprise 17 year-old daughter. The prison stuff was amusing as it forced a change on the character. There were consequences to running his mouth. I got that.Strangely I didn't really think about Laura Dern and the daughter 'til the visiting room scene when Dern showed up. Then a huge amount of backstory delivered verbally that it was 3 years later and that the daughter turned on him in the courtroom. I thought it was a few months, but 3 years? Huh? You could not spend 15 seconds of screen time with her behind the witness box in the courtroom doing such? Glaring sloppiness. Then it felt like it just treaded water 'til the end. You will not be lacking if you missed it.
bykou A close view to people they try manage their unbearable lives. An interesting scenario with turns and Woody as always great, simple and to the point. Good playing of the cast. When everything is lost, always there is something, even fake,that gives meaning to our lives. A good film makes you search deeper. Not for under 15.
The Couchpotatoes The definition of a comedy is: a (type of) film, play, or book that is intentionally funny either in its characters or its action. So that be said, I would think Wilson has to make me laugh at least once, or if not a true laugh at least a smile. Well guess what, none of the above occurred. And that's not because I have no sense of humor, not at all, I can pretend I have a pretty good sense of humor. But Wilson is just not funny, not even slightly. If I had to live with somebody like Wilson I would probably beat him up and end in prison. That's how annoying that character is. Extremely annoying but absolutely not funny. The acting is okay though. If they asked Woody Harrelson to play an extremely annoying person then he managed it very well. The story is long and boring, you just wait for the movie to finish, as quick as possible. Will I ever watch this movie again? If I have problems falling asleep maybe.
ldmonsterart Ghost World the movie and graphic novel seemed to work for the most part, but after some years I always come to the graphic novel because that is what Clowes is good at. I think even if you write the screenplay you are not in charge of your work after that. You have to deal with all the other parts. The main part being the stars performance and the director's choices. I think it worked for Ghost World, but it didn't work here for Wilson. I loved the Graphic Novel, but the movie was something else. Perhaps it should have be so. Something completely different. Harrelson was good and so was Dern, but it all didn't seem to work right. I think we didn't understand why Wilson was this way and Harrelson felt like he was stuck in the middle of this world, too. It just didn't work. I think though if this movie was done in the 80's or 90's it may have felt more fresh. Something about the jokes and the things Wilson did just didn't feel right in his time period. The scene in the bathroom with the other man just didn't make sense to me. It's something Jim Carrey would do, but not Wilson. I thought he was more sophisticated and funny and awful in this other way. I think that moment sealed the deal for me and when certain parts of the movie was directly coming from the graphic novel it just felt forced. The train scene with the sleeping guy comes to mind. Oh well. I wanted to love this.
