Put spoilers on your spoiler, or ask a mod to help if you don’t see how. You’re ruining it for anyone you say you think must watch. Why on earth would you post the ending???
It’s a pretty fun movie. I don’t know if I am head over heels about it, but I have seen it twice and as much as anything, it is a GOOD thing to have Sam Raimi doing original movies again. Give this man money!
I liked the premise and the initial development, but like many initially decent movies, they start well with hope and promise of a good movie but then they just don’t know how to end. For me that’s what happened here. Not a fan.
Huh. I think they new exactly where the movie was going. Even the final Blondie song. There are hints (not many though) through the movie of where it’s gonna end up.
I think that was part of the point. The main character was completely dorky. But mostly it showed that what we saw was do-able by someone who was a skilled dork.
I watched it last night and wasn’t impressed. For me it wasn’t a bad movie, but it wasn’t all that great either.
There was a really good potential for the dorky accountant to finally get the recognition that she deserved, and the a-hole boss to go through some personal growth or to at least get his comeuppance. Instead, the a-hole remained an a-hole to the end, and the dorky accountant just got more and more unhinged. Instead of rooting for the accountant and being glad that she “won” in the end, the movie ends with the a-hole dead and the evil unlikable accountant “winning”. There was no feeling that she won what she deserved. Instead she was a horrible person who managed to defeat an even more horrible person. There was no satisfaction in the ending.
The thing is, I think the overall plot wasn’t bad. It had a lot of potential, but how they executed it just fell far short of what it could have been.
The plane crash was really hokey too. They could have accomplished everything that they needed to in that scene without making it so unrealistic.
