One to watch when concentrating on other things and to have something on in the background. Basic story of a unemployed middle aged man being made redundant, goes to college and falls in love. Tom Hanks plays the main character, he must have been short of money to take the part as it is way under par in comparison to his other films, or he just wanted to work with Julia Roberts.

I'm surprised at how unpredictable this movie was. Granted it could really only go one of two ways, it was still kind of shocking that it didn't end the way I was thinking it would - how rude.
Julia Roberts is magnificent in anything and everything she does. She is radiantly beautiful, even when she cries (completely unfair) and she has this camera presence that I find in very few performers. Her filmography is long and glorious and she shines in most everyone. I have yet to see a Julia film that doesn't take me to her world.
I think this is a good film to watch with the girls - drink wine, eat popcorn and candy, pajamas, sleepovers, all that good stuff. It's definitely entertaining and fun, just not a die-hard film which is okay!

A great way to gain weight from cheese
This is by no means a bad film in fact it's a very good film, with stellar performances from the young cast the only thing that let's it down is the over the top mushiness from the main adult stars ,I left the cinema feeling like I gain 2 stone from all the cheese ,again not as good as the book but it was well worth the hr and half to watch it

I think this is one of the few films that Tom Hanks is just unbearable to watch! It has nothing to do with Hanks himself and everything to do with his character. Obviously that changes over the course of the film, but it definitely is hard in the beginning. The person that stood out to me the most - other than Philip Seymour Hoffman who I love more than life itself - is Julia Roberts. I feel like this is a role that's very different from anything she's ever done and I really enjoyed watching her in it.

The Theory of Conspiracies
Conspiracy Theory- is a good movie, a little long and dated but its still a good movie. Both Mel Gibson and Juila Roberts do a good job and Partick Stewart as the villian, was cool to see. Cause he doesn't play alot of villian roles, so it was nice to see him play as the villian.
The plot: New York City cabbie Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson) is an expert on paranoid conspiracy theories. He is also infatuated with government lawyer Alice Sutton (Julia Roberts), who permits his attention because he once rescued her from a mugging. However, when Jerry is captured and put through psychotic tests by Dr. Jonas (Patrick Stewart), he realizes there is an actual conspiracy. After escaping, Jerry enlists Alice's help, but she wonders whether he has uncovered a real threat or is just insane.
Its has good drama, suspense, thrills and some action, but its still a good movie.

Chemistry (1 more)
Good direction
A good start
This is a very impressive directorial debut from Jodie Foster. The movie stars two of the best actors in the industry, Julia Roberts and George Clooney. The two of them have a believable and amusing chemistry and the other players in the story also work together to achieve what is a thrilling if somewhat predictable time. The movie is well directed, but the script could definitely be a bit tighter and could also perhaps hide the twists in a more subtle way, but there is a sense of tension throughout the movie and there is definitely some fun to be had, just don’t expect anything more than a fairly shallow but still exciting film.
