I liked this movie, I felt the characters were well written and the dialogue was really neat.

[Phillip]

i've never heard of this movie. is it a new release?

[Mawgojzeta]

Not a new release (2006). Cute movie, though. I enjoyed it.

It is based on a kid's book, cannot remember if it had the same name. Anyway, a girl had been cursed with a pig's nose. The curse will only be broken if she finds "true love".

[Phillip]

thanks, i thought it might have something to do with the odyssey or with joyce's ulysses.

[Tom]

LOL!!!

[St[♥]r Pr!nc:$$ N[♥]wsheen pictures, pictures, pictures]

lol! nothing like that, but still a good movie, kind of fairy tale-ish.

I wouldn't mind a remake of ulysses, i think the odyssey was done already. :)

[Geoffrey]

Almost anything with Christina Ricci is a proven winner. The gal doesn´t pick bad movies.

[Tom]

SPEED RACER and CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST notwithstanding.

my favorite christina ricci quote (from the addams family)

girl scout: wanna buy some girl scout cookies?
wednesday: are they made with real girl scouts?

hated buffalo 66

Christina Ricci's performance in ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES is just marvelous. That glorious little scene where she tries to smile is one of my favorites. And her look of bold determination just before being forced to watch THE SOUND OF MUSIC -- glorious.

[Phillip]

nice call!

i watched the ice storm recently (i own it and watch it semi-regularly), and she really shines in that film, as do all the other players.

[Geoffrey]

My favorite scenes in ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES are those when she is rolling her eyes at someone else´s idiocy. I recall her doing it several times in the flic. Yes, Phillip, she holds her own with the rest of the cast.

[Gigi]

Oh wow! I loved this movie. Great cast! I will watch virtually anything with Catherine O'Hara, Nick Frost (even though the part was very small) and Richard E. Grant. I'm considering buying the DVD to add to my collection. This, for me, was one of those rare movies that I can watch over and over again. Reese Witherspoon not only had a supporting role (if even that much) in it, but she produced it. Very cool movie.

mine is "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid...."

Addams Family is a true classic of the spooky/weird genre without any real ghosts in it. Angelica Huston was amazing, but second to Christina Ricci since we are all in love with her films.

I don't know what she was doing in Sleepy Hollow, and I saw her in Cursed too.

Reese Witherspoon does nice movies too, I have seen several of ehr movies but can't decide if I really like her or the movies she was in.

[Rachel]

looooooove this movie! so great. and i'm actually not a huge ricci fan. it's just such a wonderful story, and they rode the perfect balance between making it magical and making it real. good stuff.

.......james mcavoy doesn't hurt either...... ;)

[Usako]

This movie is one my happy list. It's cute n' sweet.

[Grace]

I love this movie,
I wish more people had seen it,it's so good!

[St[♥]r Pr!nc:$$ N[♥]wsheen pictures, pictures, pictures]

Yes, and Penelope's mom is uber super too!

Phillip, have you seen it yet?

[Phillip]

no, i can't find it.

[Grace]

Have you tried netflix?

[Phillip]

hmmm, no i didn't. i'll check that. unfortunately, this amazing video store in my neighborhood just went out of business. for years it has been the place i go to for hard to find films. i imagine netflix and other sources have driven them out of business.

grrrrrrr. not happy about it.

[Grace]

Awe,bummmer.
It's sad when small businesses like that close down.
Hell,even blockbuster is closing down because of on-demand and netflix movies.

[Phillip]

i'm actually quite happy that blockbuster is going out of business ... how dare they edit films to their liking.

[Grace]

I have to agree with you on that,
blockbuster had it coming.

[St[♥]r Pr!nc:$$ N[♥]wsheen pictures, pictures, pictures]

Phil..maybe get a netflix account..? Sorry to hear your favourite video store closed down.

Maybe they will make a movie on it soon , small store closes as giant retail store opens opposite and the two fall in love, *pinches self* need some fresh air!!

[Grace]

Haven't you seen "Be kind Rewind"?
It's kinda like that,only hilariously awesome.
You should definitely see it sometime if you haven't.

[St[♥]r Pr!nc:$$ N[♥]wsheen pictures, pictures, pictures]

ohhh! gosh this is spooky, is that the one with Jack Black? somehow I haven't been able to watch it, B needs a lot of something to watch! ("

[Grace]

Yep!
It's got Jack Black,Mos Def,and Danny Glover in it.You absolutely need to see it,it's one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen!

[St[♥]r Pr!nc:$$ N[♥]wsheen pictures, pictures, pictures]

[Grace]

Be kind Rewind is in my top five favorite movies.
