mrjeffr0 · 04-01-2009, 11:49 PM

trailor looks awesome, but they need to make a movie of The Giving Tree

articdragon192 · 04-02-2009, 12:37 AM

*DALAZ_68* · 10-20-2009, 08:59 AM

anyone watch it yet? i havent

THE PROPHET · 10-20-2009, 09:55 AM

Its a pretty dark and sad movie. Not intended for kids, I went in with a different mindset about the movie since people was thrashing it (Mike Mancuso and Jason Kim) lol. Anywho I had fun picking the characters apart and seeing what they represented. I keep telling people that its one of those movies that your professor will make you write a paper about.

Sleepy240 · 10-20-2009, 10:15 AM

I saw it and I think people who expect it to live up to the book they read as a child will be severly disappointed. As a movie overall its maybe a "B" or 3 out of 5 stars. Like THE_PROPHET said it is dark. Personally I think they took a movie that could have been great and made it just meh.

I agree with you guys. They kill it by not making his room turn into the forrest like the book.

Monsters were kinda creepy

if they can make a movie out of chicken little they can make it out of any kids book.

bboyswoosh87 · 10-21-2009, 09:22 AM

I went with high expectations to see this movie sadly it disappointed me. Its a good movie but nothing great.

*ManoNegra* · 10-21-2009, 10:58 AM

I was too old when I came to the US to be a fan of the book
(although I'm familiar with it)
being a fan of Spike Jonze I knew what I was in for
and the movie delivered
it's dark and surprisingly deep in a psych-college-discussions-way
but definitely not for children
- I heard kids left test screenings crying and hence why the film was delayed a
year (Aracade Fire song used in the trailer was a hit a year ago) and studio stepped in

in any case, I liked the movie a great deal

g6civcx · 10-21-2009, 12:31 PM

Do not bring children to this movie!

Well, unless you're getting ready to give them a big talk about life/death, sex, etc.

I really wanted to leave halfway through.

karl wasabi · 10-21-2009, 12:51 PM

Saw the movie Monday night. My girlfriend thought it would be an amazing movie. I thought it was going to suck. I saw the movie with expectations of it being sad and dark, and it was. It was an alright movie I guess. I wouldn't go see it again. The movie gets progressively sadder and sadder. haha.

greddy2die · 10-21-2009, 01:20 PM

Im going to have to check the movie out, I read the book when i was little but I honestly dont even remember it anymore so I dont think i'll be too disappointed since its not just like the book

Kid coupie · 10-21-2009, 03:42 PM

Yea its strays from the book big time and has a dark twist to it but like PROPHET said it is one of those movies your Senior english or College proffessor would have you write a paper about....a lot of symbolism and hidden meanings.....i loved it but thats just my opinion....

illvialuver · 10-21-2009, 03:53 PM

not as good as I thought it was going to be, would have been upset if I took kids to this movie and had to explain to them all the fucked up shit in it.

napaKAliboog · 10-21-2009, 04:29 PM

HAHAHAHA WTF! I want to see this. but I never read the book. Looked to sad and the drawings weren't my thing. Chika chika boom boom and The Very Hungry Caterpillar!!! was my fav book. The art in TVHC is clean and sexy
