How Does This THING Have A 7.0 Rating?


It was so contrived. What kind of sleazy parents were they? I'm sure glad my parents didn't get the urge to go doggie in the kitchen. There's no excuse for that!

As for the rest, Peter Sarsgaard's character was ridiculous! As he turned against Vera Farmiga's character, it seemed completely surreal. It was so ridiculous I half expected him to break out laughing, and say "gotcha!" Very unrealistic, but a lot of you seem to be eating up the garbage, these writers keep dishing out.

I thought it was pretty bad. I figured it out in the first 30 min.
Should have a 4.0 at the most.

Enjoy your rage, John. Those of us who are fans know good acting and writing when we see it.

reply

I know good writing too and I'm sick of writer's writing characters that act unrealistically, just because it's less work to create the tension and drama they seek. And they know they can get away with it, because of people like you.

And I have no complaint about the acting.

People like me have been enjoying films and books for years with high expectations of it. Glad you don't find fault with the acting.

John, you do not have a clue of anything.

John, your parents didn't get the "urge to go doggie" (oh gross) that you KNOW of, Mr. Snobby. But I wouldn't ask them.

Go "taste the rainbow" you skittles loving homo. I said in the kitchen, which would be very irresponsible of parents, when kids could walk in.

And yes it's common for people to be grossed out, thinking about their parents having sex, but I guess it's a pleasant thought for you.

So now loving skittles is a sign of homosexuality. LOLz, no wonder you sound so..anal retentive.

This film is far better than many, but films don't always have the ratings they deserve.

Yes, exactly!!!! I hated it. 2/10

We know, you'd rather have a raging idiot maniac with a chainsaw running through the whole film. Now that's filmmaking.

Cheer up there, Whitespirit26. What's the matter? No shiatsu this morning?

reply

I don't know if that's a suggestion that you think I'm rich or something, but hah, hardly. The shiatsu thing, I mean.

They can do what they want in their own house. Sex is part of life.
