Nicole Kidman has a tendency to act dramatic in comedies, i.e. Stepford Wives remake--bet you she does it here, too.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Well if you don't like Nora Ephron, then that's enough reason.  Although I don't believe that a director AUTHORS the movie, she certainly has more sway over its content and style more than anyone, especially as a writer/director.

So feel completely comfortable about feeling that the movie looks icky.  You can blame Nora.

Unless you like Nora.  In which case you have no one to blame but yourself.

It works in To Die For.

Interesting. Never seen it. But now I will.

Truth is, I really like Nicole Kidman a lot.

This movie doesn't get mentioned enough. But I don't think her performance is comedic, it's tragic to me. Nothing about her in that movie makes me laugh or even chuckle. She plays it more like she doesn't know whats going on and is living in her own fantasy world where she will do anything to get to the top, and it' definetely tragic, considering what eventually takes place.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Quote from: Weak2ndActUm... so let me get this straight... Will Ferrell plays a movie star who's doing a new Bewitched, and then Nicole Kidman is an actual witch who gets cast as the witch and has the same nose-wiggling abilities?  

WHAT THE FUCK.

Sounds more like Shadow of the Vampire.

29% on the tomato meter, not very promising. Nicole Kidman should really stay away from these comedy remakes. First "Stepford Wives" now this.

It will make more money than Herbie and most other films this year anyway... that was the whole point of the remake for them

Quote from: flagpolespecialthis is a nora ephron film? i'm so there!!

but seriously you've got mail and when harry met sally are really reallly wonderful.

Yeah it's Nora Ephron but it's the side of her you've never seen before and that's very bad. I didn't see hardly any of her usual good work here like I saw with "Sleepless and Seattle", "You've Got Mail" and "When Harry Met Sally". And as appealing as the two leads are (and Nicole Kidman is usually great) the movie doesn't work at all. Ephron was totally unfocused and had no clear vision of exactly what she wanted to do with this film. It has a few funny parts but mostly it's just all over the place.

me too. I dont think it will make more than 60-70, but it will still make money for the studio. Between international theatrical, advertsing, DVD sales/rental, and the sales of the original series in DVD being promoted and boosted by the movie, it makes a lot of sense.
