ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
cnt0030 People are just not giving this movie credit where credit is due! Anniston helped produce this movie. Im a guy and I have to say this is a top 3 romantic movie of all time. Watch the whole movie from beginning to end. Excellent and creative way how true love works. He seems stalkerish and creepy at first but his intentions were innocent. It had a "Gilbert Grape" type of feel to the movie. I would say that if Mike (main character) didn't have his un orthodox view of life then anyone else in his position would of given up on chasing after the love of their dreams. Give this movie a chance. The movie definitely takes its time to progress but thats how they keep you intrigued. I would def recommend this to anyone who believes love is not out there, or to those that feverishly ignore the hints of love hitting you in the face!
Miss Naughtia I would not categorize this movie as a comedy, it is more like a drama than anything else.Jennifer Aniston plays the part of an art saleswoman who travels to a small town to sell art to an office. She checks in to a local motel and meets an employee of the motel. This employee is the son of the motel-owner and he immediately falls in love with this attractive lady. He follows her around and won't leave her alone.This movie was easy to watch and I'm sorry to say that I found it a bit boring. It never had any wow-moments and I didn't even know when the climax of the movie was. The best thing about this movie was the beautiful Miss Jennifer Aniston.
Paul Celano (chelano) Not that bad of a film, but not amazing either. It had a small cast, but only some seemed to fit. Jennifer Aniston was decent and Steve Zahn was pretty funny at parts, but some of the writing to the film didn't fit that well with the characters. This goes the most for the ending. The ending was a bit over the top and really made you lose interest. Woody Harrelson was also in the film and he really didn't fit with his character much. The story, like I said, just faded off at the ending, but up to that point, it was pretty decent. It wasn't crazy funny, but it did have its moments to get a little chuckle out of the viewer. The story is that a guy randomly meets a girl who shows up at the hotel he works at. Then they sleep together and he falls for her, but she leaves. You can only guess what could go on from there. The film at parts was trying to be serious and for the most part it did fit, even with the little humor they added in from time to time. But again, when the movie was over and it was all panned out, it just didn't have the impact it needed to finish clean.
meeza What a massive case of mismanagement have I just witnessed! It was upon viewing the independent film "Management" starring Steve Zahn & Jennifer Aniston. Zahn plays Mike, an Arizona motel night manager who falls for hotel guest Sue portrayed by Aniston. Mike madly falls for Sue. After a grab-butt session and a spontaneous quickie with Sue in the motel, Mike puts on his stalker hat and travels unannounced to Maryland (where she resides) to capture her heart. What follows is more unauthentic delirium a la stalker in the day & night. Fellows, if you want to capture a lady's heart, please do not be like Mike. He is the King of Stalkatar! Writer-Director Stephen Belber must have been insane to think that the film product he developed here could be taken seriously. Let's just say that Mr. Belberfear was inflicted with a case of "over the top" directorial & screenplay syndrome. Steve Zahn has had an impressive body of work in portraying quirky supporting roles, but Mr. Zahn's uneven & pretentious performance in "Management" proves that he has problems managing a starring role. Jennifer Aniston was not too shabby, but she herself lately has had problems in managing a lead female performance. Sorry my friend, but you are in an acting slump. Like if Jennifer A. was my real friend. Anyway, back to "Management". Woody Harrelson co-starred as Sue's boyfriend Jango who used to be a hardcore punk rocker. Woody, were you still in Zombieland when you took this role? Not your best work. I can elaborate on more atrocious problems of "Management" but that would mismanage the time I have that could be used instead on writing positive comments about decent films. I have managed to let this movie take 93 minutes out of my life! In lieu of that, "Management" should all be fired! I think we will keep Jen though, she is still a looker. Oh no, looks like Mike the Stalker is rubbing off here. ** Needs Improvement
