NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Claudio Carvalho The Brazilian painter Angie (Camilla Belle) left her mother Glória (Christiane Torloni) and her sister Sônia (Carol Castro) to seek out her father, who left her family when she was a child, in the United States of America. Angie wanders and camps in a tent and works as waitress in diners to raise some money. She befriends the homeless Chuck (Andy Garcia) that protects her while she is camping. When she decides to move to another place, she stops at the roadside to sleep. She is awaken by the highway police officer David (Colin Egglesfield) and she finds that her engine has an expensive problem. David offers a job to Angie with his cousin Jill (Julliete Lewis) and to lodges her in his trailer. Soon they have a love affair but Angie does not want a commitment with David. She leaves him but soon she makes discoveries that will change her feelings."Road Movie" is a road movie with a terrible screenplay since there is no development of the lead character. The viewer does not know who Angie is looking for and how is she tracking this person. However she is an interesting character in the beginning, living in a tent, painting and befriending a homeless that is her best friend. However, when she meets David, their relationship is shallow and poor. But the corny conclusion is ridiculous with the family reunion. My question is, how could Angie be looking for someone that she does not know? Last but not the least, the beautiful Camilla Belle never convinces as Angie. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Angie"

wachberg simple story. very well acted. dialog i would guess is at least partly improvised, since it comes across very fresh and direct. very well acting in the smaller characters. male main actor totally convincing in his early going as the young gun, then later in his transformation as a ... man.the camera finds a good blend of hand held realism without being trashy. i enjoyed it very much. i believe this is not as simply done as it looks like.i understand why some might not like this movie. this is no cinema for everyone. but this is good, solid and modern film making in every bit of the piece. definitely a director who knows very well how to treat actors. i don't think i have seen many pictures where i had the feeling of such well done actor-directing. juliette lewis makes so much out of here scenes, it is unbelievable.i must say i am usually not a huge fan of camilla belle, since i feel like she depends too much on her (admittedly stunning) looks, but in this picture it fit the role very well that she is always quite distant. yet in the scenes where she could not do it here, cause a scene depended on her opening up, she really closed this very distance and was convincing on all levels. solid work in all departments. great work in actor directing. 9 out of 1o.g

kylere This movie feels (at best) like a 1980's after-school special, with lower production values and dialog that would embarrass a 1940's comic book writer. When it feels like it breaks the after-school special mode, it is merely because it slips into feeling like an old VHS tape shared by all the local xian churches.Juliette Lewis was the selling point for me and she failed to deliver, I can blame her on some levels but the writing was just so atrocious that I am shocked she took the part. Andy Garcia must have been bored, and the lead actress basically derps from scene to scene without actually acting.

Larry Silverstein Although certainly not he worst movie I've ever seen, I felt this indie film was marred by very contrived plot elements and cardboard characters.Camilla Belle stars as the aloof and mysterious young woman Angie, who's working as a waitress in a small town in Arizona, after traveling from her home country of Brazil to search for someone, although we don't know who or why. At nights, she goes into the desert alone, sleeps in a tent, and paints and sketches.To add to the mystery , she won't reveal any of her background to co-workers, and rebuffs any of their attempts at socializing with her. Through flashbacks, there's hints of a possible rape at one time, although these may just be recurrent nightmares.In the desert she befriends a homeless man named Chuck, portrayed by the acclaimed actor Andy Garcia, who sleeps in his broken down truck -- (when she was in school she must have missed the classes in Safety 101 which may have suggested that befriending a homeless man in the middle of the desert at night is not exactly a wise choice). Anyway, Chuck tells Angie that he was once wealthy but "messed up".He tells Angie she's young and should move on with her life and she takes his advice and hits the open road. She ends up sound asleep, in her car, on the side of the road (again-should have attended that Safety class). She's awoken by a highway patrol officer named David, portrayed by Colin Egglesfield who wants to know if she's alright.However, her car has blown a head gasket so he offers to help her get towed to a garage in town, as well as a place to stay at his trailer while the repairs go on. They're attracted to each other, but while David seems like a super nice guy Angie still won't reveal anything about her past or who's she looking for on the road..One of my favorite actresses enters the film at this point Julliete Lewis. She adds life and humor to the movie, in a relatively small role, portraying Jill, who is David's cousin and who runs a diner in town. On his recommendation, she hires Angie as a waitress but warns him not to get too involved with a woman who is so mysterious. David pays little heed though and is ready to introduce her to his mother and perhaps even propose.Unfortunately, at this point the plot contrivances take off culminating in an ending that I thought was totally absurd and incredulous. When I'm saying out loud to the screen No! You're kidding me !--it's usually not a good sign.In summary, although the film has some intrigue and humor, the predominance of the contrivances and non-believable characters I thought heavily outweighed the positives.
