This movie is not for the timid, shy, easily embarrased, or religious.  In short, be warned if you have issues with crude language, nudity, drug use, or if you have a husband who keeps telling you he has to go to Vegas... for business.  If you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474315460228 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:32:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474315460228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474306612868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - I was asked to review this film by two good friends (both movie buffs), who have an honest intellectual disagreement about whether this film deserves a thumbs up or thumbs down.  They have asked me to break the tie.  Now I could be wimpy,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474306612868 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:59:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474306612868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469830438532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters -

My wife was amazed, and I... well, I felt strangely satisfied and knew I had to run home and write this review... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428236639876 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:48:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428236639876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424857341572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - This is not a perfect movie, but it is an entertaining one. Director Robert Luketic, who's filmography is thin, but includes Legally Blonde and Monster-in-Law, takes an average script and makes something out of it. I decided to see the film primarily... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424857341572 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 14:51:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424857341572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416098258564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - My wife and I had the chance to spend some quality time with my "just" teenage nieces. We offered to take them to the movies, and the movie they wanted to see was 27 Dresses, a film I knew nothing about. I trusted the PG-13 rating and asked permission... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416098258564 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:01:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416098258564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_414136110724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - This movie is an exception to the saying: "There are two things you really don't want to see being made: sausage and laws". On the contrary--this movie is a must see. The film takes you behind the scenes to see just how legislative funding in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~414136110724 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:40:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_414136110724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410987171460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - I've said before that if you live long enough, you begin to see a recycling of older movies. Often they improve on their predecessors, as this one does. I am referring to the Charlton Heston movie from 1971 entitled "Omega Man". That movie followed an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410987171460 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:19:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410987171460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409354669700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - Sorry I'm late in getting this review on line, but it wasn't my fault. I live in a small town, and the movie is STILL not showing here. I had to drive 35 miles to see it, and just did so over the weekend. This movie had a lot of buzz, so I knew I had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409354669700 Tue, 4 Dec 2007 04:10:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409354669700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400965799556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - I bought this machine primarily because I wanted a fax machine that also takes good quality sounding phone messages.

But the wife and I (and one of the daughters in "dad-daughters") did. Am I glad I did? Sort of. At the opening, Homer turns to the audience and asks that very question, then tells us we are all suckers.

I'll say it right up front... I am a big Matt Damon fan, and I loved the earlier movies.

It is intriguing, because at first blush, it seems to imply the voluntary sharing of secrets as a means to strengthen friendships. In this context, we... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~305430302340 Sat, 13 Jan 2007 02:39:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_305430302340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_299226074756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dad-daughters - This movie taught me four things. First, it's a bad idea to bet all your savings on a get rich quick scheme which requires you to sell an untested medical device to doctors. Second, San Francisco is an expensive place to live (even in 1981). Third, I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~299226074756 Sat, 30 Dec 2006 15:08:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_299226074756?linkin_id=8003929
