Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

watsonadavid This could have been a phenomenal show. However...The main character were awful actors, and needed to be recast. The rest of the cast was great.The writing was weird, and wasn't how people talk in real life.The story of a guy coming back home and in all the drama of small town life was a great idea.The creators and writers destroyed the show. THe good looking dumb landscaper said, " arusia ink" Why would a dumb guy know that word? It was taken from the movie Beautiful Girls.This could have been a great great show.

Jack Smedsson I gave October Road a two because, even though it is really really awful, it taught me something.If you came across this show, like I did, by way of the excellent 1996 film Beautiful Girls, written by Rosenberg, then you will suddenly realise what a difference good acting, casting and direction make! I thought Beautiful Girls was a very well put together film and had a great cast that gelled together really well (apparently Ted Demme, the director, made the entire cast live together for three weeks so they could bond and convey a sense of lifelong buddies). So I liked Beautiful Girls and figured that was down to Scott Rosenberg's writing. No such luck. Even though the script is basically by the same guy, following a very similar premise, and written since he's had the experience of writing for a Hollywood production, October Road sucks. It is so bad I don't know where to begin criticising it.I would say the camera work is bad, for example, but it wouldn't be fair on the cameramen as they probably went blind from watching such bad acting! Bryan Greenberg is, as the lead, the worst offender. You've got to wonder whether he slept with the casting director to get the part or if maybe the casting director was off learning how to be bad at his/her job the day god was handing out brains. Clearly, though, Greenberg was cast for his male-eye-candy skills rather than his ability to deliver lines or show any emotion beyond, "do I look good in this shot?" The direction is also palpably bad. Beautiful Girls is, in hindsight, also full of Rosenberg's idiotic verbose dialogue but the actors were made to deliver it so well that it fits the mood of the movie. In October Road its as though the director said, "Great, you delivered that randomly verbose line (which is so out of keeping with the fact that your character is a small town construction worker) without showing even the slightest sign of human emotion or natural intonation."Even though October Road is basically unwatchable, I recommend you watch it to compare it to Beautiful Girls. The comparison should be a textbook example of what a difference good acting and direction can make to an unexceptional (or, in the case of October Road, completely inept) script.

wsgalla I think it's wonderful...It's Genius! I read that they are ending "October Road" and I am so bummed if that is the case! I thought it was doing so well. Everyone I talk to watches and LOVES the program so why are they so quick to end it. It's unique, funny, entertaining, it has great looking actors and actresses and most of all it keeps you hooked. I also read that the producers came up with a 15 minute finale. That's nice but I won't bother watching it!! Why tease myself with the reality that "October Road" ended before it even began. I am so sick of getting hooked on a show just to have it taken away after one or two seasons. I was so hoping this wasn't going to happen here and I was overconfident to believe it wasn't going to happen with this program...I thought this show was way too good!

roffer98 With so many copy cats, knockoffs and duds out there it is so nice to come across a show with great content. Too bad this show is not getting the same executive support as Heroes for example.For those that get the subplots and subtle allusions there is clearly much more going on with these characters than meets the eye. This isn't just another WB show - it has more to offer. It brings back the kind of writing that one came to expect from Twin Peaks, but with a more engaging and alluring cast.Losing this show would be a mistake - not giving it better exposure and a better time slot will greatly reduce the ROI for this show! The executive that decided to air this show should show some moxie and follow through - your instincts were right on this one!
