Don't listen to the people saying this movie isn't good. Give it a chance and you might be surprised. I know I was. I am a huge film buff and this is MY FAVORITE MOVIE. The direction by Mike Mills (see trailer for Begginners, the film he did after this, another gem) is seamless and so damn beautiful. He encapsulates suburbia in such a non-cliche way. Lou's lead performance is so fucking subtle and brilliant, the kid is so smart. Great cast all around, unique soundtrack. GOOD STORY. please watch
I stopped sucking my thumb when I was about 5 because my mum told me I'd end up with buck teeth. I was so scared that I stopped. I switched it for nail biting instead... :l
yO, I'm 24 and I STILL suck my thumb and my girlfriend doesn't give a shit...my friends and family don't know cause I've been keepin' it a secret for a long time...but it's definitely comforting to know that so many adults still do it out there. I don't want to stop and never will...
In every film I have seen with Lou Taylor Pucci in it, his acting was amazing and so was the whole film. I really wish Hollywood people would contract him more often.
i love these weird dark comedy type movies like this and this movie here is like the definition of one of those (plus it has a bunch of good actors thrown in the mix)
I go to that school... Tualatin High School in Tualatin, Oregon. I recognize so many places in the school. My english teacher said she met Vince Vaughn when they were shooting the movie. It's so odd to see it on here! Haha.
hmm.. I watched this movie randomly at a friend's friend's house after we had school cancelled because of a "bomb threat" 5 years ago... they all thought it was nuts, but it's stayed with me all this time... Lou Taylor Pucci needs to be in more movies!!
@chandlercanfly That's because people would pick Taylor Lautner over Taylor Pucci. But anyway, the important part is that Pucci is a better actor than Lautner. (at least for me)
I liked it a lot. Like most cases, the book had some more detail. The movie skipped the story about his father taking him fishing and also skipped the boy trying out religion (Mormonism of all things). The movie also cut out a lot of the language, but I love both the book and the movie so I can't say I love one more then the other. My only complaint if any is that the boy in the movie was WAY clean in comparison to the book character which barely bathed, used deodorant, or washed his hair.
I remember my parents renting this movie, which they had me watch too, and it was good. I hardly remember sucking my thumb, even from preschool. I know I didn't especially during my Kindergarten year that's for sure. By the way, pardon me for asking but at the scene where Justin and the girls were drinking together in the hotel room, did one of them poor some beer on her panties? Just curious ya know
MPAA being dumb as usual. Just a handful of F-bombs, sexual references and drug use scenes. The only scene that's really strong is a woman pulling a bag of drugs out of a guy's butt, but its hardly graphic.
thanks. Yeah I looked at it already. Now my fave movie lol. I can't believe they called that scene in the hotel an orgi. They didnt even kiss! lol. So crazy. But this is an amazing movie =)
It is quite difficult, you'll feel cravings for a month and then it will dwindle down. You need a good reason to do it and stick to it. Good luck! I stopped when I was 21, it's been 10 years. I might pick it up again when I am 70 years old because it won't matter anymore and it feels so good.
They filmed this movie in my neighborhood :D Keanu Reves ate a tuna fish sandwich on my porch :D And they used my yard to park the snack van. It was fun when they were here :D
Was that in Oregon? I was so confused, I thought they filmed the school scenes at Southridge High School in Beaverton, but apparently not. I was pretty young when they filmed this.
I'm jealous cuz I can't even find it here. . .I'm not sure where ur from but I can't find it in Michigan and I don't do itunes so I'm probably going to have to like special order it or something. .it loox like a really good movie. Never seen it I just like some of the actors in that movie that they showed.
Also it shows correctly how confusing it is to be at the age 16-20 :P I am 16 soon 17 and I could really compare this film into what I have experimenced at this age.
This is Tilda Swinton's second movie with Keanu Reeves, Keanu Reeves second movie with Vincent D'Onofrio, and Vincent D'Onofrio's second movie with Vince Vaughn. Am I *too* nerdy, or is that kinda cool? Haha. They all might have more movies with each other, but I don't think so.
I was a thumb sucker too :D
