      Ordinary but ewan

      Don't talk about Ivan, Cameron would be so tender. I realized that she was once so amazing. But together with Ivan, I still feel that the old cow is eating tender grass. . . The title of Zhongliufang is an extraordinary life, which is the most literal translation, but it is too ordinary and too easy to be overlooked, and other translations also feel weird. There is easy humor, and I am content to be able to see Ivan's cute face (it can't think of the image in Train Guessing at all). Movie music...

      Rich women vs poor men

      The lunch break was too boring, so I gave the first film
      review of 2018 to this movie. I think it was because there were too few reviews.

      On the whole, I quite like the whole film.
      From the content of the story, there are indeed many strange combinations, but it is clearly a fantasy romance film. Why should you care about its logical

      story. The
      rich girl starts from two lines . Mellon) The figure, character, and personality are so handsome.
      Remember that...

      We have all experienced

      First of all, this is a comedy, not a romantic movie. Don’t believe you, look at the Indian-born archangel Gabriel. Look at the two crazy and sensitive angels. Actually tell you everything is teasing you. Don’t care about it.
      I like this tune. At that time, Ivan was still young. At that time, Diaz was very sexy with a big grin. I never liked epic productions such as the sinking of the Titanic. I had to shoot two little kids. There are so many ups and downs in the love of ordinary people,...

      Cute, cute, just cute

      I know this movie seems to have been half-deadly scolded, and the box office is not good...but why do I watch it so happily?
       
      Maybe I am really partial to Ewan...? Okay, I admit that I have cute him to the point where he is irrational, but his performance of "The Pillow Book" and "The Nature of Sex" made me sleepy...
       
      Strictly speaking, A The biggest flaw of life less ordinary is probably the anticlimax. The previous kidnapping and the comparison between the most incompetent...

      I really don't remember anything

      (Move to Kaixin.com film reviews, so I even watched this one in order to chase Ewan. Oh my God, I had the potential to be a fan.) Danny Boyle's first film to move closer to Hollywood is also the last film he collaborated with Ewan; It’s hard to imagine that this style of film is the same director as the previous "Shallow Grave" and "Guessing the Train", but after watching "Slumdog Millionaire", it is not difficult to believe that the latter's style is even more ridiculous; perhaps it is to...

      6/10. Fantasy and amusing version of "Time Planning Bureau". Perhaps the director also realized that the script was boring and vulgar, so he had to use the trash novel conceived by Ivan to laugh at himself. The combination of the protagonist and the angel of love is very weak, and the only effect is to set off the presence of passers-by such as the dentist and the barking mountain people. A few jokes about extorting phone calls and robbing banks are sold like leftovers after the heat, and the...

    Movie plot

    Poor boy Robert was dismissed by his boss Naweiler for no reason. He wanted to argue with the boss, but he ran into the boss’ daughter Selena. After listening to Robert's statement, she suggested that Robert kidnap herself in exchange for compensation. When it happened, they excitedly split the ransom. Seeing this situation, the two angels felt that there was still a lack of true affection between the young people, so they pretended to...

    Evaluation action

    For "A Life Less Ordinary", love, romance, and comedy are the real main dishes, and science fiction elements are only embellishments. It should be said that Danny Boyle handled the story properly. The opening scene of an indoor scene with a pure white background looked like a police station at first glance, but the plot turned out to be paradise. Danny Boyle's joke was not too big or small. Danny Boyle rejected the opportunity to...

    Movie quotes

    • Celine: What's wrong?

      Robert: What's wrong, you crazy bitch, is I thought you were gonna shoot me! THAT'S what's wrong!

    • Elliot Zweikel: I wish you hadn't done that. Now I have to have to hurt you, which is inconvenient and undignified.

    • Robert: I'm writing a novel myself, a lot of people say that, but in my case it's true.
