Has Anyone noticed this movie shows up on the recomendations a lot?


I see this thing on the recomendations a lot. I saw it on Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. That should tell you that something is up. What is this movie about?

reply

It's based on the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood. I love this movie! It is my favorite dark comedy. I highly recommend it. But it is definetly not for kids!

reply

Yeah I noticed it recommended on nearly everything I looked on, so I bought it (mainly cos of Kiefer in it) and then rated it but it hasn't stopped it croppin up everywhere.

Its quite a good film though, bit messed up with very very dark comedy

reply

I'm tired of seeing this movie in the recommendations! even when you can't find similarities in plot and cast. There's something fishy here.

reply

I came to this board for the the sole puropse of seeing if anyone else noticed this movie always being recommendend!! Weird.

Check 'em out!

I too have noticed this. I don't think any other film comes up this much for me.

I actually saw the movie before i noticed this, and i didn't think it was too bad! I prefer it to any other Reese Witherspoon film.

reply

haha same here its soo bloody annoying xD
90% of the films i look up this is recommened! its like spam! lol!

reply

Yeah it must be an error. This movie is recommended everywhere on IMDb. Maybe it's a trick to make unaware people watch it.

that's exactly why i'm here too, i was going to make the topic before i saw this... every movie i go to this is in the recommendations.

reply

Don't look at the recommendations for Freeway because the universe may implode.

reply

lol Derek. Yeah same reason here too... I got annoyed by the cover so I just HAD to check it out! This was also the case with Mysterious Skin starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt a while ago... that movie turned up almost everywhere I went, so I just HAD to see it! And boy was I pleasantly surprise! Maybe I shall do that with this movie too... ;)

reply

It seems like a marketing ploy but probably isn't. I mean it's odd that it's only with this movie though, and none other. But I agree with the Mysterious Skin comment! I too used to see it crop up a lot but I haven't in a while.

reply

I came here because it was getting recommended a lot too. Even on the Shawshank Redemption page...

reply

Amazon (who owns IMDB) is overstocked with copies of this movie so...

reply

Lol...this and mysterious skin always came up for me too.

This has gone quite far enough, I was just checking "Rocco does Sweden" on hot xxx galore and even there they had recommendation for this bloody flick.
It was almost the same with "Caligula" a couple of years ago.

Or maybe it is simply because Freeway is so good that no matter what kind of movie you're going to watch, you should also watch Freeway. Kind of like Chuck Norris of all the movies or something...

reply

If this is true (you are the only one to offer an explanation, so my instincts tell me it probably is) it is very disappointing.

Culture IS narrative

Yes, this is advertised everywhere.
