Diagonaldi Very well executed
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
adonis98-743-186503 A motivational book written by a mysterious man quickly gains popularity, inspiring a group of people that includes a journalist, his editor, a former inmate, a hip-hop mogul, an actor and an undercover cop to re-evaluate their choices and decisions by confronting their fears in hopes of creating more positive lives. Reach Me (2014) is more of a Dramedy with an all star cast that get together in the end thanks to a book called Reach Me i've seen the film 2 times or 3 so far and i really don't get the hate for it it has some dumb humor and characters for example Tom Sizemore as Frank, Rebekah Chaney as Denise-Denise and Christoph M. Ohrt as Tommy there's 2 good cameos by Frank Stallone and Scarlet Rose Stallone and some others that were for a paycheck like Danny Trejo and Kelsey Grammar the people who did a great job tho besides Sylvester Stallone and Thomas Jane were Terry Crews, Lauren Cohan, Kyra Sedgwick, Tom Berenger, Danny Aiello and Elizabeth Henstridge. Guys in the end Reach Me has all the right intentions and it wants to send a happy message unfortunately some characters, actors and the script itself isn't as strong as it should or could be but i really enjoy it with and without it's flaws.
slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Sly Stallone movie in order, I come to Reach Me/The Collection Plot In A Paragraph: A motivational book written by a mysterious man quickly gains popularity, inspiring a group of people to re-evaluate their choices and decisions by confronting their fears in hopes of creating more positive lives.Where to start with this one.Our main man Sly also keeps it subtle and low-key throughout, briefly raising his tone. Sadly the movie is disappointing, almost instantly forgettable, and without enough spectacular Sly moments to make a film worth rewatching.The movie is a bit of a mess. Most of the cast seem to have wandered onto the set from another film. The characters meet up have some chats, And that is kind of all there is. Overall there's nothing to keep us interested. With the exception of Sly, Thomas Janes character was the only one I was interested in seeing on screen.
AudioFileZ Reach Me on the surface would seem like a humorous romp about self-improvement and the surreptitious intersection of a diverse set of people all needing some. After viewing it one gets the feeling it was just a group of well-known journeymen having a bit of a paid vacation.This movie is fluff from the start. Reach Me segues between the different characters capriciously, never really finding a footing for the story it attempts to weave. The seriousness of everyone's need to take control of their life is made into a bit of a joke so much that there's nothing to invest in, let alone anything resembling real change for the good which, one is to believe, is the point.The fact this movie was funded by people buying into a Kickstarter Campaign is the real story of certain parties self-help, sadly not for a worthy outcome. The performances, save for Connolly and Berenger which are marginally better, are, to coin a phrase "phoned-in". The weak script and "on-vacation" performances just don't make for anything with any substance. Pleasant enough to wade through, but empty in the end underscores the burning questions: why was this made...and, why did I keep watching?
Lee Eisenberg The latest addition to the genre known as hyperlink cinema concerns a collection of people connected by their interest in a self-help book. I'd say that the main thing that I took from "Reach Me" is that I now know about the song "Denise". For the most part the movie didn't, well, reach me. I've seen most of the cast members in other movies, most of them better than this ("Rocky", "Idiocracy" and "Machete", to name just a few). Hyperlink cinema, meanwhile, has better movies to its name ("Syriana" and "Fast Food Nation", to name just two).In the end, "Reach Me" will be of interest if you want to learn about "Denise". Not much else otherwise. I think that I'll try to find "Denise" in its entirety.
