Watched the movie last night. The previews doesn’t intrigue interest but it definitely is a worth watch and get to know more about facebook esp when everyone is on it pretty much entire day and has become such a routine part of our lives.

Interesting review Matthew! Thanks for writing it! I think that the film (I haven’t watched it yet) is something my generation (I’m in my mid 20s) should connect with and understand that not all is what it appears to be…. I think the trailer says it all (for me at least) http://bit.ly/Movie-Guy – I can’t wait to see it and would love to hear what you think after I’ve seen it…. I’ll have to come back!

Seriously the story of my life 100%… The story is simple.. trying to keep a long distance relationship when it comes to time differences, school and jobs. Great date movie because it shows you where you want to be in life with that person. The band that played in the movie The Boxer Rebellion has some great songs. Check out the soundtrack you’ll be very surprised that its really good. Funny and the movie does flow together.

Ron Livingston wasn’t one of Garrett’s best friends. He was Garrett’s boss. Jason Sudeikis was the other friend, Box.

Comment on REVIEW: Lottery Ticket by Thomasean

Everytime there is a black movie based in the ghetto we say it’s being stereotyped. I do not think is really the case in this movie. Yes, I agree it is not a movie for children. I saw many young children at the advanced screening and I did not believe it was appropiate even before the movie started. As far as corrupting the youth, I do not believe this is the case. This movie showed a young man (Bow Wow) living in the “Ghetto” which with dreams of being a designer but finding himself being held back because of his loyalty to his grandmother. This is a situation many impoverished youth deal with everyday. We give up our dreams to stay behind and help our loved ones, even if it means being chained to the ghetto. His friend (Brandon T. Jackson) was on his way to college as was his soon to be girlfriend. As corny and stereotypical as his best friend may have seemed he actually showed a side that a lot of children living in the ghetto. Yes he was the comic relief, but his stong suit was that he dreamed of wanting to help his community and actually give back which doesn’t happen as often as it should when someone hits it big in the hood. He hammered those ideas into his best friend before and after he won the lottery and in the end influenced his friend enought to create his own company with the money and actually give back, by creating jobs for people in his community and trying to make things a little better. Of course this movie is going to have some parts in it that are stereotypical, but what comedy does not. I really did not expect much from this movie either, but I was surprised at some of the lessons included. The fact of the matter is that the whole setting for this movie is a Reality and it isn’t always so bad. You said that one of the messages was to go buy a helicopter after you have made it big, but I disagree. I think you missed the whole part of the movie where they had to ceremony for the new park for the neighborhood. Of course the helicopter was going to be in the movie! It’s a comedy! A comedy which did it’s best to give some people a different view at some of the characters living in the ghetto, and it did it at a level where it did not leave you overly disgusted at the way Black Americans are portrayed. I have viewed much worse movies with no point at all which have left me disgusted at how my race was potrayed! It was not the greatest movie of all time, but I believe it was much better than I anticipated!
