Watch The Voices For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Not funny. Confusing creepy and weird. But giving it 2 stars for the interesting look into a mentally I'll mind. Also parents guide didn't include the woman wearing a bra which was a very long scene.

I love a good dark comedy and so I was on board when I read the premise of Ryan Reynolds talking to his cat and dog about whether or not to be a serial killer. The premise works best as a dark comedy but the movie gets really depressing as it goes a lot into the character's actual suffering with schizophrenia. It becomes at different times a drama, a grisly horror film, and a cartoony surreal fantasy. I don't know. This is a really hard sell. I guess I can appreciate it's honesty in actually acknowledging schizophrenia and mental health problems but then they've sort of shot themselves in the foot as it cannot work then as a dark comedy. I don't want to laugh at schizophrenic hallucinations being portrayed as a cartoon in one scene and then seeing Reynolds with his therapist in agony in another. I think what the film should have done is start off with the comedic effect and then have it wear off as it goes into the seriousness of the situation. It doesn't. The film ends with a big dance number where Reynolds dances with Jesus and his victims.

This movie was a big surprise in many ways.Although I initially thought this was not going to be too interesting and a bit of a superficial storyline, it soon became clear that this was a brilliant production.The portrayal of someone living in a world dominated by hallucinations - disconnected from reality - yet still being able to function in society is superb and (although symbolic) is incredibly accurate to many people's experiences.As the movie progressed I felt myself going from enjoying the fairly light interaction between the characters to becoming sucked in to an increasingly disturbed story.

Ryan Reynolds plays a warehouse worker who has conversations with his cat and his dog. Weird enough on its own, but in this case Reynolds' Jerry is seeing a shrink, is off his meds, and is told to do pretty horrible things by his pets.Jerry a hard worker with a fine reputation, falls for a coworker named Fiona (Emma Arterton). When she stands him up for a date – sort of a miscommunication – tragedy ensues. And then when other coworkers (like Anna Kendrick) enter the mix, more tragedy ensues.The movie's tone shifts an awful lot. Sometimes it's slapstick comedy – look, talking animals using profanity! – but other times it's a pretty serious, deadpan horror movie. I mean, there's a plethora of blood and guts. Think of this as a predecessor of sorts to TV's Dexter. Bodies are chopped up. Jerry's madness is at turns amusing and horrifying.Fun fact: Reynolds himself does the voices of his cat (Mr. Whiskers) and his dog (Bosco) – and they don't sound much like Reynolds' normal voice. Mr. Whiskers appears to be Scottish, and Bosco has a Southern drawl. But as they're both aspects of Jerry's damaged psyche, so there's a little bit of him in there.Jerry's descent into utter madness (juxtaposed with his endless smile and optimism) is fun to watch, and Reynolds does a fine job. He gets some able support from Arterton and Kendrick, too. But it all adds up to a movie that doesn't strike a consistent tone, thus just missing its mark.
