Reviews
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
picturebigger Well that's 1 hour and 25 minutes of my life I won't get back! This story has been told much better before, and not just the once in varying formats. I struggled to sit though this as the performances were weak, stunted with no depth to them. I can honestly say I have cared more for a prawn salad than I did any of the characters and I don't like prawns! The only likable character was the daughter and even her acting seemed in places forced and frankly wooden. This wreaked of low budget and really didn't need to as the script in places was OK, not moving or Oscar worthy but alright for a rom com or was this supposed to be a 'dramady' it couldn't make up it's mind for the most part. To be honest I didn't laugh once so perhaps this was just supposed to be a drama but then I didn't find it moving or engrossing either. I think they were telling the age old story of boyfriend shags girlfriend's mum and relying on the 'god I never saw that coming' shocker (even though it was coming at you like a train from the outset) to carry this entire flop of a film. In my opinion and it is only my opinion, don't tell a good story half heartedly after all you wouldn't make war and peace using punch and judy. If you want to watch this story being told properly watch The Graduate and see real acting and film making or go 80's for a different slant and watch Class but spare yourself this two bit punch and judy show its a rotten tomato from me I'm afraid. Ps I am not denying the male lead Jonathan Sadowski is handsome but those eyebrows - wow they were very distracting, I kept thinking of Danny La Rue all the time!
zif ofoz A very sweet movie with an unpredictable twist near the end -- that's my 7 star rating.Mostly a chic flick (which is not a bad thing) but some people turn away from that sort of movie. But here in 'All Relative' the story flows along nicely. The only give away is the first kitchen scene when you realize what is about to happen.So we have two love birds wanting to get married and two long married who are at the breaking point in their marriage. How it's all resolved is the story.For just pure entertainment this is a good choice for both men and women. Not too much to have to think about!
johnny-greenlaw I saw the movie last night in NYC. The theater was packed and the movie delivered big time. There were many honest moments throughout the film.Beautiful storytelling and a great cast, with NYC as the backdrop how can you go wrong. This was an incredibly funny and engaging movie.You can put yourself in the shoes of the characters and feel the suspense emerge. With great twists and turns, this movie had me laughing and thinking. It reminds me of comedies from the 80s. J.C. Khoury does a fantastic job as writer/director and Connie Nielsen from Gladiator lights up the screen! Don't miss this movie. Definitely worth a look. -Johnny G. @ All Things Creative
Jessica Pattie This movie is visually stimulating. It is visually stimulating because the actors starring in it are very attractive. Especially the females, one of whom is the very pretty Sarah Paxton who is lovely to look at and also Connie Nielsen who is gorgeous.Unfortunately it fails to be stimulating in any other way. The story is formulaic and uninspired. After watching it, I felt like I'd seen this sort of movie a million times before, but often better written. For a romantic comedy it's far more awkward than romantic and I did not get to laugh once, which is saying a lot as I'd had a few glasses of wine before my viewing and I'm a pretty jovial young lady as is. You are constantly reminded that the characters are not real but instead actors playing a part. The lines and acting in this film feel scripted and inorganic. It seems like a made for TV sort of movie. Perhaps that is what it is and if so it is adequate but it's definitely a one time watch only kind of film.
