Fifty Pills Audience Reviews

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
atlasmb Darren attends NYU and is matched with a roommate who is a creep and a slimeball. Before he knows it, he is on probation and on the administration's radar. Everything seems to go wrong for Darren Giles, except he meets an attractive girl named Gracie (Kristen Bell).Because he desperately needs money, he spends a day selling ecstasy to the customers of his roommate. These quirky customers include a dominatrix, and a day trader who is passionate about the TV show "Different Strokes."I'm afraid I can't score this film very highly for these reasons:1. The romance is a secondary theme that is not well-developed.2. The primary story--the sale of the pills--is disjointed.3. The characters are weak. Some of their behavior is inappropriate to the character. I wish Monica Keene, who played Petunia, could have been used more. Kristen Bell's talents were wasted.4. Some jokes have obvious punchlines.5. The background music often does not fit the action.6. In the early part of the film, Darren talks to the audience, narrating the action, similar to Ferris Bueller. This is not carried throughout the film; the style of the film is inconsistent.Strangely enough, the ending has some congruity. If only the entire film possessed that same quality.
mimosveta This had some really great moments. It reminds you of those movies, such a "lock, stock and..." where a clumsy guy has to do a "job", except that it's not trying to be cool (movie that is), and instead goes for funny. Thank god for that, I just can't stand those "cool" movies with slow motion and witty thugs. Unfortunately, it was stuffed with bunch of pointless things, like comedy of awkward situations, (each more predictable then the last one), stupid, stupid love story with a girl that couldn't possibly be any more flat and boring, which has a very fine roommate, who apart from making lead lady seem even more bleak, hardly has any purpose in the movie. And oh, some disturbingly bad acting. So, this was a combination of predictable and very unpredictable moments. Although you will be annoyed, there still are some good reasons to see it.
PersianPlaya408 This is a decent attempt at making an original movie about a college student who loses his scholarship and battles having to pay for school and working up the courage to ask out the girl of his dreams. Its pretty ambitious but just didn't seem to pull off neither a professional or gritty-like feel to it, i thought the camera-work and stuff was kind of sloppy, and not in a good way. Some of the acting was good, but for the most part, this movie just didn't cut it. It was neither funny, interesting or serious enough to amaze or be considered a good movie. Overall this felt like a film school project movie, but not a legit studio release of a first-rate movie.IMDb Rating: 4.7. My Rating: 7/10
miv6 two words come to mind- Cinematic Masterpiece..... When I saw this movie I felt like I WAS ON Ecstasy. The plot was rock solid, the acting smooth and convincing. The humor was witty and original, and the actors seemed to have a natural knack for comedy. As for the drama, it is a rare occasion when a movie can bring me to tears. I felt that the scenes connected seamlessly and at no point was i left to wonder what what going on. Also, the character of Coleman is WITHOUT A DOUBT the MODERN DAY FONZIE. I felt alittle more "hip" after watching him go about his machismo fueled sexcapades. I was also amazed how much of myself I saw in the main character. Truly he is a reflection of the modern American boy. I would ADVISE EVERYONE TO RENT THIS MOVIE.....CORRECTION BUY THIS MOVIE!....
