You won't be disappointed!
Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Absolutely amazing
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreThe movie in question is a 2012 American black comedy directed by a famous video maker (Jonas Åkerlund) and tells the story of an odd obese Switzerland-fan (Franklin Franklin, distinguishably performed by Matt Lucas) who inadvertently kills his landlord. All the characters - in spite of their rank in society - are strange zanies, and even if briefly on screen, they are catchy thanks to good/distinctive actors such as James Caan, Johnny Knoxville, Billy Crystal, James Marsden, Peter Stormare, Amanda Plummer, Dolph Lundgren - first and foremost. Apart from crazy moments and depictions, the plot contains several "correct" views on love, friendship, family relations etc, making it hectic and uneven at times, and there are some ending predictability related to the protagonist and bad guys. But as the movie is not long (around 1,5 hours), it is still catchy to watch and you will have your laughs and chuckles.
View MoreIf you relish the quirkiness of "Juno", "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "Little Miss Sunshine", then you have to see this movie. I won't go into the detail of the plot line as there are plenty of reviews on that already, but if you relish the out of the ordinary compared to the typical Hollywood fare, then watch this movie. You won't be disappointed. Very funny and at times, very touching. All the actors put in great performances and sometimes it's not about the big "stars" you can attract or how many explosions you can create. This movie is about the story, and the lives of the characters within the story.
View MoreI don't use the word "film" often. I use it when something has moved into the art category and out of the commercial movie world. Now, with that out of the way, I originally thought to rate this movie a 7. "So why the bump to 9?" I hear you ask yourself... The reason is quite simple. Small Apartments has stayed with me since watching it. The film is unnerving and will make most squirm while they watch it. However, like a bad relationship, you'll remember the experience long after you finished with it. The best part is that Small Apartments is FUNNY. You don't need to be looking for a deeper meaning while watching it... it delivers that intravenously while you're laughing. Only later will you realize it's found its way into your system.I would recommend this for anyone 18 or older that's looking for an entertaining work of art.
View MoreI saw it in redbox and who was in it - It took a few runs to redbox before I rented. In the first 15+ minutes I think we just sat there with our mouths open unsure what to think. It was not enough to punch the eject but - Wow that character is weird is all I will say.By movie's end I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised, a very good movie that held my interest all the way through. This is not a bad rent - give it a shot and wait for it to develop. It will not disappoint.
