Supelice Dreadfully Boring

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Catherine Cotton Happenstance Happenstance is a romance movie. The movie gives many scenarios of people lives who comes from different walks of life. The movie Happenstance is centered on one girl starring Audrey Tautou (Irene) a young girl who seems to be miserable about her life as a young woman. She encounters an old lady on the train who believes in Horoscopes to be true when it comes to fate and read her horoscope and a young gentleman played by actor Faudel as (Younes) who also have the same birthday as Irene wants to hear more about his fate of finding love one day. Eric Savin (Richard) believes if certain incidents happen it is fate. He is struggling making the decision to leave his wife or stay. Eric Feldman (Luc) has no directions about life and looking for an easy answer for life.The main focus to me is on The Destiny Man played by Gilbert Robin who shows up in different angles of the movie to speak destiny about each individual in the movie. The scene when he tells the boy throwing rocks to miss throwing the last rock thru the fence. He shows up periodically in the movie to give it interest and keep you watching to see what is going to happen next. The music in the beginning brought some suspense to the part of the guard and the dog; the music corresponded well with the lighting in the scene and the old vigilant lying on the ground. Overall the movie was alright the music made the movie more come alive. The emotions of the actors/actress did not show any type of happiness about their lives they were very slothful throughout the movie which made it a little boring and plus it was not in English just the subtitles so it made it sort of difficult to view the film and get a sense of feeling from it. The dubbing was horrible could not understand a word without looking at the subtitle in English. I would compare this movie with Old Boy basically the same plot and theme but just in a different country, very close for as the emotions, the dubbing was horrible could not understand although they spoke some English in Old Boy but the movie had a little more action in the story line and both movies although foreign both ended in finding there happy medium in life despite their circumstances.

Kiryl Viarenich When I saw the title "The Beating of a Butterfly's Wings" ("Amelie 2" in Hong-Kong), I didn't know what it would be like: "Butterfly effect" or "Amélie". This film was a unique one: it was neither sci-fi like Butterfly effect nor was it was around one character as it was in Amelie. In fact we see the history for a day before the main characters meet. I don't think it's a comedy. It's rather a philosophical drama that shows how people are connected in a big city. It doesn't require acting, Audrey just has to glance with her big brilliant eyes and smile a little. Another character worth mentioning is Mark played by François Chattot. Our inner world - the ability to predict the future only reveals to the others in his murmuring.

three-m A missed train. A wrong phone number. An extra cup of coffee. What happens to those around you when you make a seemingly innocuous decision? Most people don't give it a thought as they absorbed in their own thoughts and actions."Happenstance" tells the story of the interrelations and cause-and-effect of the mundane as it pertains to a group of normal Parisian folk. It has all the components of what passes for contemporary theater, with the full cast of the dysfunctional and disillusioned.There's a cheating husband, an illegal immigrant, a classic slacker, a pickpocket, a crazy grandmother, an annoying girlfriend, a selfish roommate, and a homeless man. Audrey Tautou serves as the erstwhile protagonist (in the sense that she's on camera as much as anyone else and opens and closes the film) and normal girl who just can't seem to find the right rhythm in her life.She learns at the beginning of her day from a stranger on a train what her horoscope holds for her. What happens to her in the course of the day is told through various characters. Does the prediction come true? The concept is good, but the storytelling is flimsy. The connections from one event to the next are weak. There's better storytelling in 15 seconds of the Liberty Mutual insurance commercial where one person sees a good deed and passes it along to another than there is in two hours of Happenstance.If you enjoy Audrey Tautou, then you certainly can sacrifice the time for this film, but you'll finish it dissatisfied and wondering what this same storyline could be if it were handled by a better producer and director.

bouncingoffwall A film like this, with the right production team, could have been another Moonstruck, although certainly of a lesser caliber. Instead, we get a lot of overlapping scenes falling together at will. What this movie needed was some magic dust from the very beginning, and the radiance only that magic could have brought to it.When all is said and done, we have been through the disappointment of watching what could have been a much better movie falter. Some of the serious failings include unnecessary nudity in a movie that could have easily been popular with a younger crowd who were kept away by its rating. How the producers failed to see the potential this had as a family film is beyond my understanding. I imagine they lost a lot of money by misjudging their audience. But even if all of the above had been handled better or differently, the direction, along with the bleak settings and uninspired lighting would still weigh the film down.I am rarely as disappointed as when I see what could have been a good project succumb to mediocrity, and this movie is so immersed in it that even the actors do not escape its pall. My suggestion? Don't rent it; wait until it comes on TV.
