Flannel Pajamas Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
jblum315 I hated this movie right from the beginning. I had no sense of why these two people would be attracted to each other - I thought they were both physically unattractive and totally self-centered. I could not believe that any independent young woman would accept $15,000 from a man that she hardly knows - and then I see that aha! she's not so independent; she rejoices in getting fired; because she's found a sucker who will take care of her. Never mind that they never seem to agree about anything. This marriage was doomed before it even happened. Actually I think the best line in the movie was when she tells her friend that the bridegroom never said "I do." That pretty much sums it up. They should have both said "I don't." The sexual groping (of which there was a bit too much) was unconvincing. I felt really sorry for both of them, but I didn't like them or anyone else in the movie except for his father who seemed like a decent guy who was maybe in the wrong movie.
pliberati This movie reminded me so much of "The Breakup". Take away the funny characters in that movie and add down to earth problems of work expectancies and the couples boredom in their relationship as it plays out in Flannel Pajamas. There is nudity in the first half of the movie, but as their relationship matures and as the husband can't see the small subtleties and their is no more nude scenes, just another breakup.I liked this movie better than the breakup because it handles the relationship and the breakup in a very realistic way. There are no smartypants here, no grand reunion of the couple, just the will of one of them to get things to work. Nothing that this charming actor can do.
David Ferguson Greetings again from the darkness. Having seen the trailer a few times, I had pretty much decided this was not one I would see. Then I saw Roger Ebert raving about it and since he is a movie critic god, it was obvious I needed to see it.Now I am not going to write the great Mr. Ebert and ask for my money back, but I must admit I am somewhat baffled by his comments. While there are moments of brilliant intimacy, for the most part this movie is just about the arc of 90% of the relationships today. I wish that were more of a compliment, but instead I compare this to "Before Sunset", the obnoxious remake to Richard Linklater's 1994 gem "Before Sunrise". In other words, it is 2 plus hours of listening to two fairly unlikeable people TALK incessantly about themselves and their relationship. This is definitely no "My Dinner With Andre".Of course, writer/director Jeff Lipskey tosses is many more characters ... probably too many ... to show the complexities within this or any other relationship. Julianne Nicholson and Justin Kirk are the couple and while Ms. Nicholson exudes a camouflaged charm, Mr. Kirk is little more than a smarmy, unable to communicate about anything important dude who is just like most guys. We pretty much dislike him from the opening scene in the café when his self-centeredness is obvious to all but Ms. Nicholson.I know little of Mr. Lipsky, but I am not sure if his objective was to visualize the issues of most relationships, point out the lack of judgment exhibited by most women when choosing a partner or some other deep philosophical issue. All I know is that the ending was obvious from the inane opening sequence, although there were some very poignant moments in between.The best part of the film may be the closing credit song "Thursday" by Asobi Soksu. As for Roger Ebert, my opinion of him is not damaged one bit, as what makes watching movies so wonderful is the slight chance that one may hit you where it counts. "Flannel Pajamas" did this for him, but not for me.
hanrahanpm Just saw this at Cinema Arts in Huntington NY and I wonder why the negative comments are so nasty. This film is exactly what it claims to be - an independent film, made with limited resources by hardworking actors who give it their all. While all the characters may not be appealing, they are all interesting and have something to say. The younger brother (Jordan), for example, was fascinating. The two leads were excellent and had chemistry that is hard to find in so called major movies. Nicole may have had one or two too many nude scenes, but that's OK. Justin Kirk really caught his character and his dialogue and delivery was excellent. The film could be 20 minutes shorter with tighter editing and might be more enjoyable and have fewer head-scratching scenes. What was the conversation between the mother and the husband in the hospital cafeteria all about and where did it lead to? All in all a six or seven and worth seeing, in my opinion.
