REVIEW
This is one of my awaited movie in good copy then see it after downloading type. May not justified seeing it at the cinemas for special effects and sound but should be good at the quietness of the home movie player over a mug of tea (literally speaking)
Before watching the movie, notice that it is quite long for its kind of category - comedy at slightly over 2 hours. Anyway if its good it can also be effective. In fact a good one would have the audience to want for more.
The director (no relation to the other Meyers?) had done "The Holiday" which to me was very very good comedy strarring Diaz, Law, Black and Winslet.A movie which i could see again and again and still be happy about it. So hope this one is no dissapointment.
The plot is interesting enough maybe a bit too many just to fill in the screening time. And it has that "How to manage your business better" kindda of thing which I like. But perhaps that the many plots makes it longer than it should be. Then the husband thing and how wife wants to make it right again even at sacrificing her dream. Also theres unnecessary and wasted character like Renee Russo who could have not been included and shorten the movies further. Not that shes no good but not used to her potential and wasted.
Also Jules relationship with her mother who remains just as a voice over the handphone. That could have been emphasized further. The slapstick of the gang going to the house for Jule's mother computer to delete an accidental sent email is for some action and length to the movie but not have any bearing.
Hathaway as Jules is as usual very good acting and convincing. De Niro on the other hand, was not to his full potential. Not his fault but the script that is. Others are merely passe.
So the movie was a bit dissapointed after watching it. There's no feeling that "ohh thats a good one!" thou I wanted that after all the waiting. To me, just passing the time will do.
On the techinical side, I noticed that even thou it is classified as HDRip its really WebRip because of the lag and also buffering message it shows. Quality not that bad because its not an action movie. So this was taken from a movie already broadcasted on some TV in other countries.
