This is a really smart review. You nailed my thoughts exactly, and it doesn’t seem too academic at all. When are mentioning of “Classical Hollywood” and “post-Code” movies wonky and academic?

Whilie watching the movie, i was surprised at the realism and the depression that I was feeling watching this reality happen to these lovable characters. But we are these lovable characters and those kinds of rejections and manipulations and deceits really do happen to us. Should the movie have ended in the realistic state the entire thing revolved around, who would believe in that “fantasy, might-ever happen-to-me” world. So I agree with the review writer in that it was wholly smart to “happily-ever-after” write up the ending of the movie, because really who wants to see an ending that is pretty similar to the plotlines of our own unfortunate dating lives?

Jennifer Connelly did a great job in He’s Not that Into You; the plot was solid overall too IMO — I personally was not surprising that this movie is based on a novel since movies based on novels tend to be better quality

Ya, sorry Karina, your review does make perfect sense, even if it’s a tad wonky and academic. I don’t even know if there’s a deep meaning to Goldielocks and The Three Bears, but I did get a feeling of searching for what would be the right movie in your review, and I can’t believe it’s the sci-fi one you wanted. Having just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall (for nudity comparison to The Reader and research on a work related ratings issue), it’s probably a chick flick and not very funny for a comedy, and when Jason Segel can’t get it up for Kristen Bell, he’s just not really into her.

Jeez. There was something seemed interesting about this movie, but now I see it’s about as deep as a subway ad. One that’s been mutilated by posterboy, that is…

I loved the book and I can’t wait for the movie – I know I’ll love it too. I herd that Scarlet Johansen preformed a song for the soundtrack. I watched her music video on EverHype (which is totally user based, you should check them out and add your own “hypes” at http://www.everhype.com/?utm_source=bc)) and I thought it was really good. Does anyone know if that’s true?

In a perfect world, those accusing my writing of being convoluted would proofread their own comments for clarity.

Cynical, subversive, just state it, directly, because I seriously started thinking you were Goldielocks… smart if, but not smarter than, yet even smarter, and not smart enough, at the same time because it’s not what you thought it would be. I’m confused, not really, it’s just for the web.

Very thoughtful review of a film I cringe just thinking about. Though now I feel weirdly compelled to see it, boooo!
