Have you seen Pay it Forward?

I just finished watching it on HBO. A must see in my opinion.


Pay It Forward (2000)

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Normally I dont really like Helen Hunt, I dont mind her, but she was decent in this movie.

I love Haley Joel Osment, the kid is great!

It's an entertaining movie but I don't know if it's a "must see".

The premise is interesting, though. The world would be a better place if we were a little nicer to each other.

 

[Ameesh]

yeah i saw it, helen hunt loooks sooo trashy!

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

That was a really good movie!

Who said anything about "buying" the movie? Excellent acting, and a good storyline. John Bon Jovi's character was more of a cameo role.

OK I really REALLY wanted to like this movie. When I first heard the premise I knew I had to see it... what a cool concept and it typifies in many ways how I try to lead my own life.

And it was good up until the climax. I don't want to give it away for folks that haven't seen it, but couldn't you all just see that coming a mile away? It just kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, like the Hollywood assholes got their grubby little hands on it and added that part in because it just wasn't "dramatic enough". That scene was just so unbelievable... I dunno. I shouldn't have let it ruin the whole movie for me, because there were good things about it. Some of the dialogue was weak, especially Kevin Spacey's (which really surprised me, incidentally, because I think he's one of the best actors of all time). But I realized that even awesome actors can't always save bad scriptwriting.

OK, I'm overanalyzing... I still love the premise, and if anyone who sees it comes away wanting to be nicer to people then the movie served its purpose as far as I'm concerned.

How about a "must download"?

The critics really trashed this movie when it came out. As usual I ignored them and went to see it. I thought it was good. It did not deserve the universal panning it got IMO.

 

[chuckieland]

i see it on the plane, and i thought it was good

 

[sandorski]

It was ok. I was kinda hoping to see another American Beauty, so was kinda disapppointed.

 

[narzy]

I like the cast, the movie is somewhat lacking, I'm not sure what but somthing is missing, even with the missing chunk you have to see it atleast once.

 

[DannyLove]

yes, i mentioned this in another thread. very good movie. i cried in the end. i COULDNT HELP IT!

danny~!

 

[Atlantean]

Yeah it was a pretty good movie, kinda sad ending though, maybe it is just the song, but it brought tears to my eyes.

 

[Mookow]

Nope.

 

[Linux23]

saw it tonight on HBO-High Def, and it was pretty damn good. Helen Hunt, whom I loathe, looked pretty damned hot in this movie (body wise).

that kid, Haley, really irks me when he talks in that low whispy voice. it's fine on some scenes, but don't use it in every dramatic scene. image the "i see dead people" line over and over and over!:|

 

[Noriaki]

Lee Harvey Oswald or whatever that stupid kids name is just plain irritating.
The only person more irritating is Annakin from Episode I.

The premise of the movie sounds interesting, and I'd really like to see it, but I just can't stand that kid...

 

[telstar1]

I felt the premise was kind of cheesy ... Oh, and the kid dies in the end.
