I Am The Cheese Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
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.
mattkratz This movie gets confusing, but once you make sense of it you will like it even better. That's part of the fun. It was based on the book of the same name, and follows it pretty faithfully. The story involves a kid who is confined to a psychiatric ward. He is apparently having delusions and is confused about what is real and what isn't. (Can anyone say, "A Beautiful Mind?")He has two birth certificates, his parents are dead, and he has to sort thru his memories to decide what is real. Confused yet? It will all make sense at the end when you see it. I will not give anything else away.*** out of ****
qwer asdf the title says it all, "I am the Cheese". This movie is nothing but cheesy.The movie makes no sense at all for those who haven't read the book, it makes a little sense to those who have read the book.The acting is terrible, the character lacked charisma it's almost like they are reading from a script.And last of all, the movie is boring, they are good boring movies like " lost in Translation" etc. This movie is everything you don't want you movie to be.Anyway, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It's the ultimate embarrassment if anyone catch you watching this. The book is a worth read but STAY AWAY FORM THIS
stevenb30 Why did they even bother? This film is based on a book that falls into the general category of "nothing is at it seems to be." The film, possibly due to its complete lack of pacing, never gives the viewer the feeling it seems to be anything coherent. There is no dramatic tension for anyone that hasn't read the book. Which is a waste given the talented cast.But ultimately, the film's biggest sin is the ending (SPOILER). The book's payoff is the horror that reveals itself bit by bit -- culminating in the revelation that Adam is doomed. The changed ending (that some would consider "happy") denigrates this film to a fourth rate movie of the week.
TheCheesyOne I hate to say it, but this movie is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. If I hadn't read the book and done an in depth analysis for school on the book, I would have not had a clue what was going on. Not only was the acting dry and the dialogue weak at best, the score was terrible, and the ending made no sense. This movie really did not do the book justice. The low budget showed, and it lacked the certain something that Robert Cormier's books have. Adam Farmer's character was played so dryly that half the time, I had no idea what was going on, and what scene they were butchering. Dr. Brint was not...Dr. Brint-ish, and the ending threw me off completely. Call me dumb, but the only acting I thought was decent was on the part of Edna. "He's taking something, I think he's on drugs!!" Teehee. Avoid this movie at all costs, and don't ignore people's warnings on how truly awful this is.
