MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

lainek321 Okay so I am a sucker for coming of age stories but seriously. The whole point of growing up is to learn and grow. I would understand if the main character is either growing into a wiser human being or even a flat out stupid human being by just not caring. How is that during this coming of age story surrounding the importance of family is justified by further endangering your family. This makes no sense and makes what could have been a story of life lesson learned of anti conformist and the beauty of herb into just flat out stupidity. I would mind if the theme was bases on idiocracy but instead has a theme and musical background of how happy things can turn out if you continue to put yourself and even more importantly your family in danger. Seriously! You had me the first few hours but then just made me wonder what immature pot head thought this was a good ending. Ah it had such potential to move a human spirit and make them laugh. If I could retract all positivity I had throughout the movie I would.

carabas2003 Quinn, (Steven Yaffe), a home educated teenager growing up in a family with counter culture parents who run a suburban grow-up wants to lead a normal life. He enrolls in a local high school in order to pursue the girl next door. His attempts to win the girl of his dreams run afoul the school president who sets the high school bullies on him. After enduring humiliation Quinn manages to turn the tables on his tormentors and beat the system at the same time. The funniest high school comedy since "Rock and Roll High School" Neatly reverses the usual stoner formula. Highly sympathetic and nuanced performance from Rosanna Arquette as the mother. "Growing Op" appeals to both the sixties generation and today's teen agers. Both groups see themselves in this movie. High energy, strong music score, MTV style editing and polished script and direction drive this picture along. Not to be missed.

zigzagblues Absolutely Amazing!!! This film was beautifully shot in a beautiful city! The characters were pristine and the storyline was very original (despite what the Toronto $tar says). I would highly recommend seeing if you get a chance. I will definitely own this DVD as soon as it's available. As a side note, I don't see any resemblance between this film and others. I would compare this film to a lot of others, but for good reason. I would compare the characteristics of the film to others such as Ted Demme's Blow, or Jenji Kohan's Weeds for the sole reason that they are favorite Films and Series. And just F.Y.I, There's room for all three on the top shelf of my DVD collection! =)This film is an inspiration to me as an aspiring filmmaker so thank you very much! Brad

mariakmercer I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was excellent and I recommend everyone to see it. I hope it wins the Oscar for Best Picture, it would get my vote! GO SEE THIS MOVIE! The acting in it is incredible and the script itself is very unique. The directing is impeccable and the overall feeling was super feel good. My friend convinced me to see it with her and I do not regret it one bit. Our other friend couldn't go and she regrets it a lot. I am usually very critical of movies but this one was just so good. I hope it goes all across Canada as I do not live in Halifax, Toronto or Vancouver. I'm telling everyone I know in those cities to go see it. It is worth the 10 dollar movie ticket. I would even pay more than that to see it.
