Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

zif ofoz is this a male in marriage midlife crisis movie?is this a slapstick comedy?is this a teen sex flick?is this a tween fantasy movie?i do not know.but i do know it ain't funny because it's trying to be funny and comes across as just stupid. the story rambles on putting 'bill' in one goofy situation after another and then has a serious finish.not much else to be said about this attempt at comedy/drama/sex/slapstick/idiosyncrasy bomb of a film.forget it!

Bene Cumb Although the plot is peculiar and some characters exaggerated, the movie gets additional points from me because of giftedly performed roles: Aaron Eckhart as Bill is a great choice and he is not a total comedian, who might have resembled Steve Martin or Jim Carry, for example. All major supporting roles: Logan Lerman as The Kid, Jessica Alba as Lucy, Elizabeth Banks as Jess and Timothy Olyphant as Chip are also catchy. There are several realistic things in the story, however, there are not too many Western movies where adults' irresponsibility or minors' willingness and opportunity to lead an adult's life are depicted in a positive way, almost as role models. And the kid's parents were never visible or interested where their boy was and with whom... Almost an ode to carelessness, without hypocrisy. The ending was also such that I liked, no faking.This movie should definitely obtain more attention and praise, as a good entertainment for killing time. Critics do probably not appreciate this and parents may be not happy either...

jotix100 Bill has married into a family with money. His reward is a position in the bank owned by his father-in-law, where he does not have anything of importance to do. His wife Jessica, Bill discovers, is having an affair with an oily television reporter, more interested in his looks, than anything else. When Bill realizes the deception, he moves away to the home of his brother, a gay man, living with his lover.Before he knows about his wife's cheating, Bill has been eating candy bars secretly; he has a big belly to show for his new habit. Through the connections of his father-in-law, Bill enters a program at the St. Albans School, where he becomes a mentor of one teenager from a prep school. Bill, who recognizes his life is going nowhere, decides to make it on his own by getting a donut franchise, much like Krispy Kreme, he is afraid of Jessica's disapproval.The boy Bill mentors, is wiser in things that his bigger mentor is not. Despite his misgivings, the "Kid", as he is known, is able to steer Bill into doing fun things, including moving into a big tent pitched in his brother's backyard, and entertaining Lucy, their friendly sales lady and another hot lady in his new home. Bill realizes what is wrong in his life and decides to lose all the extra weight he has been carrying. Doing that, he is able to win Jessica, and the franchise that means his independence.This comedy about a somewhat middle age crisis, was conceived by Melisa Wallack, who co-directed with Bernie Goldmann. Neither partner show any experience in taking the helm in a motion picture before, although Mr. Goldmann has long been associated as a producer, that is why the results are mixed. As a comedy, "Bill" misses its opportunity to be funny because of a screenplay that goes nowhere and satisfies no one.Aaron Eckhart is a good actor, but like some of his fellow players, he needs to have someone strong behind him when it comes time to choose what project to take. His Bill will not add much to his otherwise good movie career. Elizabeth Banks is a beautiful presence, no matter in what role, her Jessica makes no sense at all. Jessica Alba's Lucy is more of an adornment in the picture, for she has not much to do. Logan Lerman, on the other hand, is perfect as the naughty rich boy used to getting his own way.

Sirus_the_Virus Aaron Eckhart does a great job as Bill, a man who hates his life in Bill. Or Meet Bill. I am still not sure what it's called. The case to it says Meet Bill and IMDb says Bill so I don't know. One thing I do know is that this a seriously funny film. I had never heard of it. It's a shame cause I am sure that a lot of people haven't. The film has a great cast. Eckhart does an interesting portrayal as Bill, am man with a miserable life. His life really is miserable. His wife(played by Elizabeth Banks)is having an affair with Chip(played by Timothy Olyphant), the town anchorman. He works for his wife's father. In a really boring job.His life changes after he finds out about his wife's affair. He gets into tons of embarrassing periods. Such as when he attacks his wife's lover. Or when he records her having sex with him. But his life really changes when Bill has to mentor a high school kid(played by Logan Lerman). Once this happens, he starts to have more fun and he makes some new friends. Like an underwear saleswoman(played by Jessica Alba).Bill is a very funny film. Eckhart does very well here, and there isn't a boring moment throughout the entire film. There are some big laughs here. Is this a masterpiece? Not quite. But it is a funny film. Bill:****/*****
