AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

russa_07 I think I've never voted 1 for a movie here at IMDb until now. The idea is interesting, and that's what drove me into watching Some girl(s). This story is about a self-centered guy who is apparently trying to make amends. Horrible. As if the character wasn't appalling enough, Adam Brody's acting is abominable. The girls are awesome, but Adam is on screen ALL THE TIME. There's one scene in which one of the ex-girlfriends (I won't say who, so I don't spoil anything) says that someone has cancer. Brody's acting is so bad that I laughed at the situation. His face, his reactions, his body language.... Just awful. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!

Saarah N I would never watch this film again. Ever. The trailer had made it seem so good, and if you can't judge a film by its trailer, what do you judge it by? The reviews, that's right. Why I didn't check the reviews, I have no idea. I actually think you would enjoy reading my review than watching film.This film was terrible. The main character, (what was his name?), experienced some sort of dream which spurred him on to 'right his wrongs', to remedy all the broken hearts he caused, to help him live with himself. That's what he sets out to do, most probably it was inspired by his engagement and a promise of acceptance to a monogamous lifestyle. He wanted to start afresh, he desired forgiveness. So he creates a list of his most notable exes (not all of them, just five) and he travels to them, to 'talk'. He didn't even have a game plan. An idiot, no doubt. So...you have to cope with a lot of stuttering on his part and the obvious confusion, he had no idea what he was after. He had left all of them, at some point in their relationship, he was a coward. But not the romantic type for 'the one that got away' , is there a romantic type? So of course, they were angry. Not at first, but being the idiot he was, he provoked them to speak of their memories, to relive the pain. Initially, that's all I thought, just that he was bad with words (did I mention he was a writer?) and that he wasn't aware of what he was doing. But, I came to realise he was just playing with their feelings.But then, I began to feel a tad sympathetic for him: he was lost and in search of forgiveness. But then I began to think about what would make his character worse...And it came to be: he sought them out to write a story on them for some magazine or something. So all that crap about seeking forgiveness was just that. Crap. This is what he had done before, he had written his stories on them when he had broken their hearts. Did I feel sympathy for him, at this point? Not at all, he was just an idiot through and through. The only reason my rating isn't completely harsh is because I loved that all the exes were intelligent, they all knew what had gone on and they showed him "who's boss". Their only mistake was him, but it really wasn't them, it was him. I especially liked Kristen Bell in this film, she completely detested the man. We shared a common dislike and then, the way she played with his feelings. Pure genius. But that was more the character, I liked Bell for her passion in the role. It was real. Jennifer Morrison was also strong in her role, perhaps a little crazed it seemed. Another small thing I liked was the fact that there was no happily ever after, it was open ended and I like to believe that his fiancé ended up with someone new or that his marriage turns out to be a complete misery. Yes, that's how much I hated the main guy. You'd think that I've experience with a man of such nature, I actually don't. And I'm more than grateful for it.

RNMorton I haven't seen this all the way through but I have seen bits and pieces periodically on cable, including repeated viewings of portions. Brody goes on a tour as it were of some past girlfriends and other lovers right before he is scheduled to get married. Why does he do this? What is his purpose? He would have you believe that he wants to make amends for those he harmed along the way, or could it be that he wants a final shot at each? Hard to tell (well for some maybe) but as he goes along, ala The Swimmer, we begin to learn more and more about who he really is. Kristen Bell is also welcome but I thought Zoe Kazan as Reggie was just magical. Nice work.

daikerda-684-500905 Some Girl(s) is one of the most original and interesting films I've ever seen. I know that many others have found it "boring" and "pointless," but for me it is fascinating, focused, and brilliant.The film builds through each of its five major episodes to present the central male character as a charming predator, what his ex-girl-friend Bobbi (Kristen Bell) calls an "emotional terrorist." Nameless throughout, perhaps to suggest his universality, the Man emerges at the male equivalent of the femme fatal, the homme fatal.Although reviewers have compared the movie unfavorably to High Fidelity, it is by no means a comedy. You won't find Jack Black anywhere around. No, Some Girls is drama, quietly intense drama. As the Man meets with each of his five former loves, the pattern becomes clear: after using his charm, good looks, and perceived decency (!) to win deep love, he suddenly bolts—usually for another woman and often without a word of explanation or apology but always inflicting severe emotional wounds. He is, as Bobbi says, "a killer, an assassin." He is, in the words of Lindsay (Emily Watson), "vampiric," someone who sucks the life out of everyone who cares for him. "People get hurt," Bobbi says. "A part of them dies and never comes back."Although the Man has arranged these meetings to "make amends" for his past actions, they instead inflict additional pain on the women by forcing them to relive his rejection—and to acknowledge his cruelty. "It hurts," Tyler (Mia Maestro) says.What makes Some Girl(s) the opposite of comedy is that the Man never learns his lesson, never acknowledges the harm that he has done. As the film concludes, he is flirting with the flight attendant: he will surely find a way to escape from his current fiancée. No happy ending here.Some Girl(s) is the frighteningly compelling portrait of a consummate narcissist who will continue to justify preying on women who care for him. Beware!
