SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

MarieGabrielle This film is the basic story of 1969, Marty and Pearl Kantrowitz a couple who married young and have two children, on vacation in upstate NY. Anything north of the city is "upstate" and they take vacation near the well known "Nevele" and Concord Hotels, only at a more down at heel bungalow campground.The atmosphere of the Catskills bungalow and the rather tacky but fun atmosphere is realistic. Tovah Feldshuh as Lillian is excellent, she realizes something is amiss with Pearl and lets her son know, calling him in Brooklyn.The Moon walk itself is secondary to the actual story of America in the turbulent 1960's, Woodstock, and social unrest, but the story is not heavy handed.Nor is it a complete miss like the faint hearted "1969" film with Robert Downey Jr., which attempts to address the same time period in America, and misses the point. Entirely.Pearl Kantrowitz, well portrayed by Diane Lane feels something is missing, she has married too young, and subsequently meets Walker Jerome, a hippie who is known as the "Blouse man" (announced over the intercom by Julie Kavner's unmistakable voice ), when he brings his bus of clothing and jewelry to the camp site. Viggo Mortensen as Walker Jerome, is believable as a young man who eventually gets involved with Pearl, hoping for more.The story rings true because it is simple, but believable and even sad. The affair with him, the ultimate fact that she realizes her life is passing by, but she does love her husband and children as well. and its time to say good bye to lofty dreams. There is a decent soundtrack including Joni Mitchell, and many other gems from that era. Liev Schreiber as Marty Kantrowitz is sympathetic and funny, attempting to dance to Jimi Hendrix at the end of the film.The story is memorable without cheap sentiment, and a rare thing we see from Hollywood deserves praise. It is not a cheap romantic comedy with over the top actors, just a believable vignette which will touch you as the audience.During the credits I noticed it was produced by Dustin Hoffman as well as Tony Goldwyn. Well done. 9/10.

Miss Naughtia This movie is about a woman who has second thoughts about her married life when she meets a handsome t-shirt salesman. A Walk on the Moon is a great movie which touches a lot of morality subjects that are super relevant to our society today.Today there are too many adult people acting like teenagers and letting themselves get sucked in to the vortex of the irresponsible and untied life. A part of maturing is realizing that you can't do whatever you want whenever you feel like it, you have to consider the people around you when you're making important decisions and you must not be reckless.I think this movie teaches some great lessons about immaturity and loyalty. It teaches about responsibilities and what happens if you abuse the responsibility you have. I love Liev Schreiber and Viggo Mortensen, and they're really bringing the best to this movie.

ambrose_01569 Well after having watched this, and heard some great Janis Joplin and Woodstock tunes, I checked up dates on the Moonlanding (1967) and Woodstock (1969) and I also checked up Janis Joplins death date for good measure (1970), but it just seems to me that the event of the landing and the summer of love Concert (Woodstock) did not happen in the same summer as it seems to be depicted here, with the Pearl character leaving the camp and joining the "blouse man" at Woodstock, and isn't that Anna Paquin playing her daughter, a good bit of casting she is excellent. Also the man playing the husband who's name I can never remember is a good actor, and the Bubbe who is the tarot card reader who has premonition's was an excellent lady in the part she played, all of this film and many on the sixties reall interest me i was born in '65 and pretty much raised in the Wonder Years and Brady Bunch era so a good movie can be very entertaining to say the least Like Now and Later was with Rosie Odonnel

RNMorton I have to admit, I've seen much of this movie several times on digital cable but haven't quite made it to the end (for reasons explained later). Diane and family vacation at Catskills resort in the late 60's, Lane the satisfied wife and mother -- until she runs into free-spirit blouse salesman Mortensen. Schreiber is fine as the lovable but dufus husband, as is Feldshuh as his mom (in real life only 13 years older than Lane!), and Paquin as the blooming daughter. It's always fun to watch a beautiful Lane agonize over these life issues and a pre-Lords Viggo is a treat. The Airplane's "Today" gets as good a musical placement in this movie as you'll ever see. The set up is really superb (although a little more graphic than I needed). But But But But But. But the Woodstock sequence seems unnecessary and contrived, blowing a beautiful slice o' life movie to smithereens. Wrong turn. I can't bear to watch it after that, maybe I'll make it through sometime and things will be okay after all.
