I Care a Lot
Review: I Care a Lot
Rating system
A clear explanation of our star ratings.
Didn’t finish watching, qualifies as a movie, just not one people should watch.
spent more time on phone or daydreaming about other movies than watching.
One thing was good (casting, script, dialogue, direction, cinematography, costumes, set design). Everything else failed.
Got a couple of things right, though still not at recommendation level.
Some people may be mildly satisfied with a watch, but can’t recommend to most viewers.
Enough entertainment value to recommend among genre-specific viewers (i.e. There’s enough action for action fans, drama for drama fans, etc.). One time viewing is enough.
holds up within its genre and hits enough elements to entertain viewers looking for more than just that genre’s key features. Can recommend. Might rewatch.
Recommend a watch to most viewers. Hits on majority of quality aspects (i.e. acting, script, etc.) Will likely rewatch. Entertains beyond genre.
Not only should everyone watch this, but it’s close to perfection.
No discussion. Just watch it.

Chris: “Interesting, unique topic. Original story which is rare in Hollywood. If they’d had the same cast with a different director, it would have been better. Rosamund’s character was developing as the anti-hero I love to hate, but halfway through everything changed, and not for the better.”

Matt: “This was obviously intended to be a dark comedy, but wasn’t directed as one. The tone was all wrong, so we couldn’t experience the comedy properly or love to hate the devilish protagonist in Rosamund. While the premise was good, the script was so-so. Ultimately, the direction was the key failure.”
alternative viewing
A dark comedy that delivers on the comedy, and uses John Cusack’s built-in charm to create an anti-hero you can root for.
