I normally loathe romantic comedies, but I unbelievably and absolutely loved this one (4.5 stars), May 27, 2011

By J. P. "Jules" (USA) - 

This review is from: Something Borrowed (DVD)

I rarely write movie reviews, so the fact that I am for this film already tells you something. I know the ratings for this have been all over the place, so I wanted to put in my two cents, which are that given what it was, I loved it!
Now none of you know me, so you dont realize how momentous that statement is, coming from me of all people. While yes, I am female, I hate - *utterly loathe* - American romantic comedies. I absolutely cannot stand them and the only 100% exceptions are Bringing Up Baby from 1938 and When Harry Met Sally ... from 1989. So yes, it's been awhile since I found one that broke the rule.
I wanted to see this movie, both because of the actors (love Goodwin and Krasinski) and because it's a story (we hope) where the shy, quiet girl gets the guy. However, I went prepared to dislike it for two reasons. First, I was *very* apprehensive about the premise involving possible cheating, since I have trouble even reading about it in books or watching films like Closer. Second, it's a romantic comedy! How could I possibly end up liking it?!
Turns out, I was dead wrong. SOMETHING BORROWED was hysterical - the writing was great and the delivery wonderful. The cast was also superb: John Krasinski, whom I adore in The Office, was hands-down unbelievably fantastic in his role; Ginnifer Goodwin, a lovely and talented actress, plays her part to perfection; and Colin Egglesfield, a quiet and subtle actor, makes for a great Dex. Darcy (Kate Hudson's character) is ridiculously over the top, but whatever - I was able to overlook it in the face of all that was right with this movie.
Also, this movie was able to do what those in this genre usually cannot do: it was able to be somewhat realistic, while still giving us a wonderful happy ending - no sappiness or corniness involved (two of my main objections to romance movies). The main characters trip up - repeatedly - and sometimes you want to slap some of them upside the head (... was that just me?), but it feels very authentic! And re: the love triangle, I think one of the things that made it feel all the more authentic was the very real dilemma that Rachel, Dex, and Darcy are faced with.
I loved this film, because for *once* a romantic comedy did for me what it always seems to do for others: it made me laugh out loud and it made me cheer for the two main characters and hope that they would end up together. I definitely, definitely recommend it.

Loved it., May 8, 2011

I loved the movie and saw it twice in the first weekend. Ginnfer and Colin did a great job. Colin reminds me of a young Tom Cruise but better. He seems soulful, manages to play the character with integrity and gives great glances! A must see.

At first, I didn't want to see this movie, the trailer was uninteresting and not very funny. Then finally I decided to go see it and not judge it, John Krasinski from the Office is in it. So, I got myself a cheap ticket and watched it in the theater. I actually laughed and thought it was pretty good, not the greatest movie ever but it's worth watching a few times. I think this is a good rental, it has a few good laughs.

Daria lacks enthusiasm, but she makes up for it with sarcasm.

“Daria Complete Series & Special Features!!!”,
Review Date : February 8, 2010
Reviewed By : Reconnecting To My Childhood "Time Won't Let ... -

This review is from: Daria: The Complete Animated Series (DVD)

Finally!!! May 11th, 2010, a whole generation will be able to go back to a time when the world felt smarter in many ways and when teenagers were the hope of the future rather than oversexed, immature, corporate packaged fad followers (Or maybe we were but the corporations had to be less obvious about it?). Ironically, MTV, the channel that originally broadcast this brilliant show about Daria and her witty friend Jane to a mostly likeminded audience have now begun to cater to, or some would say go out of their way to create and perpetuate, an immature drama addicted generation of Britneys and Kevins who only want shows like The Hills or Jersey Shore. Ah, look how far we've come.

Never Before Seen Mystik Spiral Spin-off Script
All in all this will be an amazing set for us fans who have waited so long and it looks like it will be worth the wait. Thank God that they are releasing the entire series at once so we can avoid any worry that poor sales or stupid executives would only release part of the series then stop, as if this series could produce poor sales after topping all the "most wanted on DVD lists", though. I'm still hoping they announce even more special features and give us some info on which songs inevitably had to be changed since the late 90's and early millenium music is a character of the show. The time is almost here, quick everyone brace yourselves!!!
*Update: Apparently the set will be selling at a suggested retail price of $69.99, which no doubt will be sold at a discount by Amazon.

*Kind of upset that the Looking Back In Annoyance Special wasn't included on this set yet the Jane and Daria Top Ten Countdown was. Oh well, still 5 stars from me.

“A Little Disappointing”,
Review Date : April 29, 2010
Reviewed By “: Manda216 -

This review is from: Daria: The Complete Animated Series DVD [8 Discs] (DVD)

After waiting so many years for Daria to be released on DVD, this set is kind of a let down. I realize that Daria can't be released with the orginal music, but watching the show is different without the music that went along with the time period. That said, I'm so glad to have a Daria DVD collection that it almost doesn't bother me. But what feels kind of insulting is the piece of paper inside the DVD case explaining that the show can't be released with its original soundtrack, and basically saying that we should just suck it up and be glad that we got a DVD collection at all. That's all that comes with the DVDs (which are packaged in a crappy case that keeps falling apart when I open it). No booklet, no episode guide, just a slip of paper telling us that the music is gone and we should just get over it. I feel like the fans who have waited so long deserve something more. It feels kind of like MTV throwing the DVD set at my head and saying, "Here it is! Happy now?!" Um, thanks MTV...I guess it's better than nothing.

“Intelligence is *not* completely dead!”,
Review Date : March 16, 2010
Reviewed By : Wendy C. Rigney (Troy, NY USA) -

This review is from: Daria: The Complete Animated Series (DVD)

In the era when MTV still gave a crap about not pandering to the lowest common denominator with its programming, there was "Daria".
The irony is, "Daria" was spun off from the ridiculous, but admittedly amusing, "Beavis and Butthead" series. Where that show gleefully wallowed in the stupid and moronic, "Daria" went in the opposite direction. Using her sarcasm, commentary, and general cynicism, the show showed that one could be intelligent and blunt but still be entertaining. In its way, the show dealt with the usual crap of being a teen without being preachy, moralistic, or boring. And it assumed that the audience was smart. Which MTV obviously no longer does.
Admittedly, I am not in the demographic for this show (30s), but a smart show is a smart show, and I have waited for this series for ages. It is long past time this series is finally being released. Maybe it will make some remember when MTV was relevant, socially aware, and treated young people like thinking beings and not Barbie and Ken dolls for reality TV crap. I think - if one like smart shows with an edge - one would love "Daria", regardless of age. (Ironically, I think the character of Daria, if she existed naturally, would have plenty to say about the state of the channel today that she originated from. And none of it good! LOL!)
On the downside, I am 99.999% sure there will be music deletions and substitutions, the dreaded "rights issues". While I do wish that would be left intact, I guess I could see where it would be cost prohibitive, and this series is too good to sit in a vault because of it. Which is why I still give this DVD set five stars regardless of that issue. So, I will live with the music changes. But complain. Daria would be pleased!
In short, if you like animation, wit, fun, intelligence, and snark (of which there is plenty!), let "Daria" entertain you! You'll feel smarter for it.
