Watch Spooner For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Best movie ever!!!This outstandingly creative romantic comedy is one of our all time favorites that we enjoy watching over and over again.Dialog, acting, direction and set design will make you smile big ...and know, that you are proud to be in the human race...and also know, you are OK...just as you are.This outstandingly creative romantic comedy is one of our all time favorites that we enjoy watching over and over again.Dialog, acting, direction and set design will make you smile big ...and know, that you are OK, just as you are!Happy 2013!

My wife and I stumbled on to this and enjoyed it. Good story, fun romance, quirky characters, and awkward humor. The Characters are endearing. You can't not like "Spooner" or "Rose". Spooner is someone you worry about but root for. Matthew Lillard and Nora Zehetner had some really intriguing scenes together. At times it had the awkward humor of "The Office", which we liked. It also had some good Southern California references and locales (Monrovia, Oceanside, etc.) Overall it had the feel the pacing of "Bottlerocket" (by Wes Anderson with Owen Wilson) especially the whole "Manfretti Motors" angle. We were pleasantly surprised and would recommend it to those who like indie style movies with quirky characters and settings. Good movie.

Well i just picked up a copy of spooner the other day and i have to say its the most charming film I've seen in years. It reminded me a lot of 500 days of summer but sweeter. Now i have to say I'm not a romantic comedy time watcher but occasionally I delve into a film of this ilk to balance all the horror titles I view. Matthew Lillard steals the show as the lovable Herman Spooner who is about to turn 30 and still lives at home. He works as a used car salesman at Manfretti Auto nearby his home. Herman Spooner is not a good salesman due to his unapothegic honesty towards his customers and hence ranks the lowest on the sales calendar. Herman Spooner is a simple man, sort of a boy trapped in a man's body but his innocent charm makes him so likable that you cant help but take a shine to him. One day he rescues the beautiful Rose played by Nora Zehetner whose car has broken down on the side of the road. This is where the magic begins with two people trying to change their lives. Rose takes an immediate interest in Spooner and their chemistry on screen is pure magic. I felt like i was the third wheel on a date that spread over a two day span. I'm not kidding it felt so real and a part of me thought if all of us out there had a little of Herman Spooner in us, the world would be a much better place. The movie doesn't take any Hollywood backroads at all and sticks to the formula at hand without getting too cute for its own good. For years now when I've seen the name Matthew Lillard and Nora Zehetner I've thought of the movies Scream and May well no longer now and forever it will be Spooner. Do yourself a favor and see this film, you will fall in love with it just like i did.

I watched this with very little idea of what to expect or what it was about other than a 29yr old who lives with his parents but has to move out on his upcoming birthday, and that probably helped me enjoy it more. Its a slow nothing much happens type of movie, but it keeps you watching in anticipation of something interesting, and although it never really provides that something your waiting for it still holds the attention and never quite becomes the predictable ''childish man gets dream girl without having to grow up'' that the viewer expects it to be from the outset. The soundtrack is upbeat and appropriate, the characters likable and border on being fun to watch without my truly knowing why/how, the acting is good-actually i cannot think of anything i didn't like about the film other than the fact that when it ended i wanted it to go on longer even though technically nothing much had happened and the plot was,well, boring as plots go, yet still seemed to work and compel me to watch it happily. (which i know sounds like its not worth watching-but it somehow is and i recommend it a lot more than the 6 stars i gave it, i just couldn't get myself to give it more stars due to fact i have given worse films 7 just because i could see a small specific reason i liked them such as special effects/plot/moments of action that stood out even though they technically sucked-this film nothing much happens at all-yet it did'nt suck so go watch it and see for your selves!)....
