Worst movie of the year. After 30 minutes the screenwriter obviously realized the idea wouldn't last, so they moved on to something else, and when that didn't work, they tried the emotional card. Completely disastrous.

Wow, I actually really enjoyed this movie! It's not something to sweep the oscars, but it is charming. Queen Latifah is amazing, and the movie's message is heart-warming. Thinking she has 3 weeks to live, Queen Latifah pulls out her Book of Possibilities and desides to make them realities by going to a luxurious hotel in Europe. At the hotel there are many celebrities of sorts, the Senator of her home state, store-owners, etc. Everyone is amazed by Latifah and wants to know what she does. Eventually she wins the heart of everyone with her charm and good advice. The acting was surprisingly well. The script, good. But the thing that really makes this movie so fun is the message. By simply being blunt and living like every day was her last Queen Latifah is able to captivate all the important people that work and stay at the hotel, as well as the audience. The movie also touches on the little things in life that we think are so important but really aren't. After being informed she has 3 weeks to live, Queen thinks about all the time she should have talked to the cute man she works with, the food she should have ate, the things she should have done, and the experiences she should have had. Everyone can relate to this film, and can learn something from it.

It's been three days since I watched Brokeback Mountain in the theater and it's still haunting my dreams and thoughts. The screenplay is amazing, but what's even more amazing is the cast's ability to nail every single line perfectly and deliver characters so driven and emotional you quickly begin to think of them as friends instead of actors on a screen. A lot of people's ending response is disappointed I've noticed, and that doesn't surprise me. Though the ending was fantastic, it did start to feel a bit long. However in everyone's case they admit to later being "haunted" by it, and such was the case with me. I went home, lied in bed, but couldn't sleep because certain lines, certain scenes came storming back. You don't have to be gay to watch this, there's actually more hetero sex scenes than gay anyway. It's a powerful story that every mature person needs to see.

Peter Jackson apparantly loves to express emotion through hours of down time when two characters either look into each other's eyes or hug forever. Maybe it's subconsciously making me feel emotionally attached to the characters, but it's consciously making me wish the movie would hurry up and get moving. This movie could have been cut in half if only a few staring contests and group hugs were taken out. With all that said, it was a great film that I for the most part enjoyed.
