Watch Please Give For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Nice effects though.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Absolutely brilliant

Whilst waiting for my dad to turn up,I talked to a family friend about movies about to leave Netflix UK. Going down the list,he pointed out an indie Comedy Drama that he had greatly enjoyed a few years ago,which led to me giving in for a viewing. The plot:While trying to be supportive of their daughter Abby suffering a terrible skin condition,Alex and Kate run a store specialising in used modern furniture. Feeling bad about making profit from those who don't know the value of their furniture,and also weeping due to her plans for an extension being ruined by cranky neighbour Andra.Feeling that Abby's skin condition might be improved by a visit to a spa,Alex goes to a spa run by Andra's granddaughter,and gives more than he ever expected.View on the film:Playing off each other, Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt give excellent performances as Kate and Alex,with Platt giving Alex a straight ahead,robust approach that neatly bounces off the crossed- wires of Kate. Feeling guilty over needing Andra to die for the extension,and uncomfortable over how much the furniture makes,Keener gives Kate a bitter Black Comedy edge,where every attempt Kate makes to feel better backfires. Joined by a scene stealing Ann Morgan Guilbert as Andra, Sarah Steele cuts deep into Abby's primal scream to pour out Alex's fraught weaknesses.Taking inspiration from the Mumblecore genre,the screenplay by writer/director Nicole Holofcener gives the free-flowing dialogue a darkly comedic flavour,with the arguments between Kate and Abby being fought over the imperfections standing at odds between the mother/daughter. Placing everyone in a state of arrested development, Holofcener brilliantly rolls out a fully developed family,where the private issues Kate,Abby and Alex are dealing with are threaded with the overlapping family problems,in a movie which donates to the viewer generously.

The characters that were on display for us to watch were all well written, fully-developed, interesting and funny as they each struggled with their moral dilemmas. I found myself being able to relate to all of them in one way or another.The writer also leaves enough to your imagination so you can decide how much these characters evolved or learned over the course of the film. As you think about them, you find yourself applying these lessons to your own life.The lack of plot leaves you wanting more because the best movies are usually able to deliver both plot and great characters.http://www.allvashikaran.com/vashikaran-totke-for-love/

Perhaps the most interesting observations in 'Please Give', Nicole Holofcener's new 'dramedy' about two families that live next to each other in a New York City apartment building, are not the main characters' personalities but rather their professions. Cathy (Elizabeth Keener) and Alex (Oliver Platt) run a second hand furniture store, usually obtaining merchandise from home owners who have recently lost a family member. Then there are the two sisters who live next door: Rebecca (Rebecca Hall) who is a radiologist assistant at a mammography clinic and Mary (Amanda Peat) who does facials at a salon.'Please Give' begins with unsettling closeups of womens' breasts at the mammography clinic. When viewing these images at the beginning of the film, one wonders if this is going to be one of those intense dramas about people afflicted with cancer. We soon discover, however, that 'Please Give' focuses much more on inconsequential concerns.The title refers to Cathy's overly altruistic nature. This is a woman who feels compelled to give money to homeless people whenever she bumps into them on the street. Her teenage daughter, Abby, is appalled by her mother's misguided altruism; in one scene, Abby takes a $20 bill away from her mother, who then pulls out a $5 bill, handing it to the homeless person, apologizing anyway that she doesn't have more to give him. Later, Cathy tries to land a job doing volunteer work, working with children with special needs; unfortunately, she becomes overly emotional about the nature of the handicapped kids' situation, which interferes with her ability to assist them on a practical basis.One of the main story lines involves Cathy and Alex purchasing their next door neighbor's apartment. The apartment will only be for sale when Rebecca and Mary's grandmother, Andra, kicks the bucket. She's a petulant old woman with a foul mouth. Additional conflict pops up between Rebecca who disapproves of the way her sister Mary treats their grandmother (Mary perhaps being the film's antagonist, due to her cold-hearted disposition).Little much else happens plot-wise in 'Please Give': Alex has a brief affair with Mary; Cathy argues about Abby's desire to purchase some expensive designer jeans; Rebecca begins going out with the grandson of one of the patients at the clinic; Cathy struggles with guilt feelings over the furniture markups and Andra finally does indeed kick the bucket.All's well that end's well when Cathy and Alex seem to resolve their differences with their teenage daughter and agree to purchase those expensive jeans she's been craving all along.Ultimately, Holofcener fails to develop her characters into full-realized human beings. Each has a quirky aspect to their personality and are placed in situations that I would hardly call 'riveting'. 'Please Give' is incredibly slow-paced and the laughs are few and far between. This film would have been much more compelling if the stakes were somehow raised and we were treated to a plot replete with all kinds of unusual twists and turns.

"Please Give" is the story of a husband and wife who butt heads with the granddaughters of the elderly woman who lives in apartment the couple owns, how things are intertwined and how circumstances eventually gets to them in both right and wrong way.Cast-wise, pretty good. Oliver Platt is very likable as the cool and flirty husband, with Catherine Keener playing his better half wondrously. Rebecca Hall is the core of this movie, giving a very powerful performance of a doting granddaughter, who sacrifices a lot for taking care of her grandmother. Amanda Peet does decently in her role of a beauty conscious stony-hearted sister of Rebecca Hall. A special mention for the two grandmothers, who were very natural in their act."Please Give" is not entertaining; neither will it remain in your mind for quite some time. It might get irksome someplace, but having said, it's because it has been made in a very lifelike or rather natural, devoid of unnecessary cheap entertaining stuffs. It gets funny most of the times, but not ROFL stuff. It's decent enough to be enjoyable.Overall, "Please Give" is a sincere attempt to portray the life of two neighbors and their twist with life, once they get to know each other well or rather unwell. It's not recommended for people seeking fun and entertainment. Rather, it's a movie for someone looking for a mild funny, mild serious (non)-family movie.My Verdict: 6/10
