Watch Never Again For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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

This didn't know what it wanted to be so constantly went for shock value. In the process of figuring out where it wanted to go, a stellar cast was wasted. The opening scene tried hard for a cheap laugh which pretty much set the tone for the rest of the movie. I kept waiting for the meet cute scene when the two leads would connect. The wait was excruciating as was the dialog. I stuck with it though since it doesn't matter what Bill Duke says, he has my undivided attention. Unfortunately, the more lines Tambor had, the less interesting and likable he became to me. The whole dream sequence was funny but I thought his reaction to it and the subsequent scenes were absolutely absurd. It would of been more tolerable for me and easier to suspend my disbelief if his interactions with strangers were not so negative and devoid of humor; this ugliness pervaded the entire movie. I had high hopes after Tambor's first date with Clayburgh because there was some kind of magic in that encounter. Then the movie seemed to stall again and led to more negative encounters. I stopped caring at that point and shut it off.

I had heard that Jill Clayburgh was a fine actress, but after seeing her enraptured by Tambour I realize she's a GREAT actress...the film has two or three original moments, tiny islands in an ocean of clichés.Tambour gets the Dooley Wilson Fake Piano Playing Award for using his fingers as a dust mop in the jazz club scenes.The most gratuitous moment comes in the hospital when his mother suffers a Hollywood stroke(no p-paralysis, no speech impairment)...he turns to the night nurse, pulls out a bill, and asks her to get a coffee for mom...no"excuse me", no "Are you busy?", typical Hollywood belief that others are props, with no thoughts, lives or responsibilities...speaking of which--what was Clayburgh's job? We see her chatting with a client, then she's off to the sex toy shop...

While most movies are geared toward the younger crowd, this one tickled the funny bones of the 40+ generation. What a nice change! The language was surprising, but the antics were refreshing. There were some memorable moments, and some visuals you wish you could get out of your mind (Michael McKean to be exact). All in all...it was a fun-filled comedy.

Unlike other other comments I have read about this movie, I enjoyed the film. It started out slow, and I was somewhat sceptical for the first half hour, but it turn out to be a hilarious very well acted movie. Give this one the benefit of the doubt.
