Yar, you be here: Committed > Customer Reviews Committed Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 10 Reviews)Committed should Never have been Permitted
COMMITTED is pretty much a movie without a story or at least a story I was able to follow. Heather Graham does nothing here that would attract anyone's attention providing that she even could. Graham seems to have flaunted her talents in obscure and nondescript films such as this. Don't bother checking this movie out because you may have yourself committed after seeing it. By the way, the cover should really give you a clue don't you think? I need to be committed ...
From what I remember seeing of this film, it was not good. I always say that if a film is good and can keep you attention throughout the hardest of moments (example: a Tylenol Cold & Sinus war) than it is a film that has done its job. The fact that I was asleep for most of this film only proves the fact that it could not keep my attention, and ergo, it did not complete its job. Why did I fall victim to the Tylenol Cold & Sinus, when I had a film in my arsenal? To begin, Committed did not make any sense. The acting was poor and the overall story left more doors opened that just couldn't be closed. I am thinking of the moment when I swear I saw Affleck and Graham (brother and sister in this film) kissing. That didn't make any sense. Then there was a scene with Affleck and his roommates indicating that he was sleeping with one of them, almost breaking up a perfect lesbian couple. I suppose this was to show that most are not as committed to a relationship as Graham is, but for me it just was nothing more than filler. I have this suspicious feeling that the director of this film was sleeping with Affleck. His acting in this film was atrocious. I mean, I have never seen him do any "good" acting, but this was by far the worst. Oh, what was John Stewart doing in this film? That was yet again another moment when my eyes were opened just for a moment in one of those battles that seemed to last forever. And frankly, it's Heather Graham - we could care less about her after a while. She's just not interesting - she's just bland, boring and basically stops acting after a while. While they desperately start throwing wacky characters into the mix to revive the movie, it just doesn't work and instead of just calling it a day - they start throwing more characters into the mix so now it's just weird, tedious, boring and really, really long. Luke Wilson's slow drawl acting style slows an already crawling movie to dead halt - why exactly were these two married? Committed is a truly terrible film--the kind of "hip comedy" that leaves you staggering out depressed and bored. Grade: * out of ***** Who should be Committed?
I put in a search for A SUMMER PLACE on DVD and it brings me to this movie called COMMITTED. This has happened several times and I should have known better. I'm human. I forgot. I finally decided to watch it. A friend of mine let me borrow it. I decided that anybody who actually bought or rented this movie should be committed. The cover should have warned me right off the bat. But I was mildly intrigued by some prurient interest I suppose. I grant you, this movie is different. It's bad but it's a different sort of bad. Since my original search was for A SUMMER PLACE I would say this movie is twice as bad as the worst movie you can recall from your viewing disappointments. Good searching.
