Gabriel R @GRSRBR 2d It is an easy movie to watch, with the right amount of comedy and adventure, great chemistry between the actors, a great soundtrack, and well-directed. This movie isn’t a cult classic and a viewer favorite for no reason. It’s lighthearted and should be evaluated as such, it’s not meant to be an Oscar-winning masterpiece, I don’t believe that’s what they set out to do.

I watched this movie with hope, given its strong cast and seemingly fun premise. I have to say that I just don't like this movie. I feel it is often really boring and also has a story that is all over the place. The big moments in the script feel kind of random, and I didn't really enjoy the way it played out. Overall, I could see why maybe it's a fun cult movie to some, but for me, I just felt it was kind of bad, and I don't really get why that is the case. See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis Aug 18 The first third leans so much into a lightweight, unmagical '90s tone that you'd be forgiven for thinking you put on the wrong film. Also, every character moment is there just to be checked off on the list, like mere clogs that drive the story forward. However, the film comes alive after the car scene: though still prone to losing its footing due to the tonal uncertainty and murky writing, it's a breeze to sit through and delivers some good situational humour. Channing and Wiest form a good duo. See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Aug 16 Messy film that never really comes together, that having all the elements to be a good one. The cast is solid across the board with Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman playing sisters her are polar opposites, while the great Diane Wiest & Stockard Channing are fun as their eccentric aunts. Unfortunately, the story never comes together under Griffin Dune's direction, despite a mix of stories like abusive boyfriends and finding true love that could have made a much better film. Worst of all, there are never any real stakes or drama. Overall, a frustrating film that never comes together.

Seeing Sandra Bullock stroll into our restaurant for our famous banana cream pie and leaving a $500 tip for good service was one of the highlights of my life I’ll never forget. Now back to the movie. Quirky sometimes, corny in others, slapstick in some places but never wavering from its basic source of love, acceptance of fate, strength of family and a damn good soundtrack! You’re hard pressed to find any movie with this much cred and looks this good! Bring on the sequel! See more Trevor D @Bozack2000 Aug 15 I very rarely agree with actual critics.. but this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.. even by 90s standards. Hands down Sandra's worst performance ever - not sure what about this made her want to do a second one.. Guessing she has bills to pay.. because she phoned it in last time.. and from the trailers of the new one, seems like more of the same. See more Read all reviews
