Really Very Bad

I'm a woman and I didn't like this movie. I liked a few things but overall it was a mess. And really, when the women all in unison scream, "to the kitchen!!" I knew there was no redemption. This movie pushes so many archaic female stereotypes it's laughable.

I'm a man. And I love this movie! I don't think it's a mess at all, it's spooky fun and a general good time to watch. Don't put people in boxes - by doing so you just end up sticking yourself in the box with the label "moron".

ur entitled to ur opinion but dear, no one honestly cares. u come here 2 discuss the movies good qualities so dont screw it up 4 everyone else please. thank you.
I care. This is a discussion board, not a fan board. You (or "u" if that's helpful) may "come here 2 discuss the movies good qualities" but not everyone else did and there's no reason they should. Beautiful set design notwithstanding, this movie was a mess, and there's no reason people shouldn't say so.

This is sort of sad, lol. I haven't read the book, so that might be the reason why I like the movie. But like I always say you have to remember this have to make this for the general population not just the book lovers, I know it sucks, but that's how most book adaptions are. I also think as a discussion board all opinions are appreciated and we need to learn not to get too heated, because It started off about talking about the movie and segwayed into insulting others who didn't think the same as how you were thinking. Let's try to class IMDB up.

I love this movie, always have. It's funny and scary at the same time. It's a great movie. I heard that the scene where they all get toasted and insult each other while passing around a bottle of tequila was real as Kidman brought a cheap bottle of tequila on set and they all imbibed before the scene was shot. It's a fun movie and one of my favorites.

It wasn't a dreadful film, but it was somewhat slow. I thought the story was thin and wishy-washy. I guess it was meant as a "feel-good" movie.
Having a bad actress like Sandra Bullock in your movie doesn't help. -

I don't agree with the general consensus that it jumped from humor to romance etc too much I do however think the FIRST HALF is brilliant, and then the rest of it focuses too much on the haunting etc. I would have preferred if the main plot did not focus on Gillian's abusive boyfriend and his ghost, I would have liked more spells or something in the guise of The Witches of Eastwick where they inadvertently cast spells on the town that go awry, but since it was trying to be faithful to the book, I can't fault the movie on that. Every time I watch it I think how much potential a TV show version would have.

I just don't think it works as either a romance, comedy, drama or fantasy flick. The script has little wit. Whilst Sandra Bullock is the film's chief asset, I think I understand why it tanked so badly at the box office.

It started out interesting but I found the editing to be sloppy, mixing so many genres, rushed love story between Bullock and Quinn. I have a long list of things wrong with this movie, It's not the worst movie or anything but very disappointing and There's a good movie mixed into it but too many weak stuff holding it down. I'd rate it a 4/10
