Instead I was bamboozled like Spike Lee. I can't beleive I took my girlfriends kid to see it and he hated it, and didn't get it. We should have went to see the Astronaut Farmer, like everyone else. Atleast I'd know what I was looking at.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-45243948877035609872007-03-02T15:44:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:44:00.000-05:00Well, that's pretty much what I said about the tra...Well, that's pretty much what I said about the trailer, wasn't it?<BR/><BR/>I'm not one to approve or disapprove of a movie because it's traumatic, depressing, etc. (check out, oh, "The Boys of St. Vincent" for unoptimistic fare that I admire very much); it's the details (how skilfully it accomplished my trauma, depression, etc.) that are the basis of my approval or disapproval.<BR/><BR/>That said, you really should be able to get what you're expecting from the trailer--it's only fair. That's why I usually don't pay attention to trailers--only the one for this picture was so omnipresent you can't help but expect a "Lord of the Rings" (which, thankfully, it wasn't).Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-10711694329265150592007-03-02T15:02:00.000-05:002007-03-02T15:02:00.000-05:00I fully agree with Mr. Anonmyous...

I have actually snuck out of work early so I can take my kids to see The Astronaut Farmer at a matinee... because they wanted to see it again, actually mainly due to the two kids in the film... I saw this Bridge and thought, despite the pretty visuals, the ending had me and the whole crowd deflated... what a pooper, people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-34239524747950597072007-03-02T13:56:00.000-05:002007-03-02T13:56:00.000-05:00Just not what i expected at all. I sat there with ...Just not what i expected at all. I sat there with my mouth open when they killed the main girl. I think I was more traumatized than my daughter. I was apalled at how they marketed this movie. The following day we went to see The Astronaut Farmer, a flick they were saying was “family”. I was hesitant, but from the reviews I read they weren’t any hidden agendas. I loved it and now I’m spreading the word as far as I can. This is a movie that everyone kid should see– as well as their mother and father. It will leave you smiling and optimistic about the world we live in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
