Rowan Atkinson recommended Being There (1979) in Movies (curated)

"Peter Sellers movies, I would have to have in on him. I’m tempted by Being There. Again, one of his more serious things, but a beautifully attenuated performance I thought he did in that. I haven’t seen the movie for a long time. I’m always nervous about saying, “Oh, that was a brilliant movie,” if you haven’t seen them for 15 years or 20 years, because you may go back to them now and think, “Oh, ah, well actually, it’s not great.” Or at least, “It’s got those great bits that I remember, but there’s a lot of stuff in between that is very unimpressive.” But I seem to remember the only thing that really spoiled it — and it was very much the fashion at the time — was the sort of bloopers edit over the end credits. And I thought that movie in particular did not suit and did not need shots of Peter Sellers cracking up. But obviously the producers or the distributors said, “Look, it’s a Peter Sellers movie and it hasn’t got a lot of laughs in it. Can we just stick something silly in the end?” And that is what they did, and it didn’t completely ruin the film, but it came very, very close, in my opinion."

Actual rating: 3.5 Stars.

I found this to be an enjoyable, light, fluffy and incredibly random read, it was also absolutely hilarious...I did laugh out loud a few times. Then why only a 3.5 rating you ask? Well...in some places I did get very annoyed with Georgia's attitude, especially towards her parents. I never spoke to my parents the way she did and to be honest I didn't do much of what she and her friends got up to. I thought that yeah it is for teenagers so I should still be able to relate to it as I am only 24, yet I just couldn't relate at all! Maybe it's because I have always been a bit of a tom boy and not a girly girl.
For a light, really silly read pick this one up and give it a try.

A very funny film if you like Family guy sense of humour. I did wonder about the whole talking teddy bear thing and if they could pull it off, but it looks great....must have put a lot of detail into the animation for Ted. The film is very funny, although very close to crossing the line at times but this is from the same people behind family guy after all so you know what to expect. All the thrown back's to things in the 80's make it even funnier if you're from that generation.

Just watch it. It's an unnerving watch when you realise you keep needing to remember it was real and it happened. The world could have been a very different place indeed. The casting was phenomenal and the emotion driven through the series felt so real. When looking at archive pieces of film, attention to detail is spot on. The helicopter scene - Just insane. Such a touching and completely non glamourised memoriam to all who died and who helped prevent further nuclear disaster. I did start to think after just what other sorts of secrets could a goverment keep??!

Feel good comedy
This is one of those film's that you can put on for a bit of easy watching. I've always been a fan of Adam Sandler anyway but it is undeniable that he is best when working with Drew Barrymore. I was giggling throughout this film and whilst Sandler is critiqued for working on the same type of film's, I don't think that's a bad thing. Stick to what you know right? I did think that the character Ginger was going to irritate me but by the end of the film she grew on me. Overall, a good clean cut film.

Not worth watching
This film had a lot of promise looking at the synopsis but it really was one of the worst films i have seen for a long time. The convoluted plot did not add to any excitement. No empathy could be felt for anyone because you never know what has happened or to be honest care. It trundles along and t was only on just over 75 minutes and to be honest this was an hour too long. Sorry but this film was bad, really bad

"The Sixth Sense. I don’t know if you’d call it a horror movie — the genre’s not really my cup of tea, but I heard people say “You gotta go see this movie The Sixth Sense.” I was blown away, ’cause I took it hook, line and sinker. I never saw that ending coming. I was one of those guys. M. Night had the hook in my mouth. He shot it in a way that, when I go back and look at it and knowing what you didn’t know the first time, I just think he did a masterful job with that movie."
