I finally saw it today and really liked it.

I was a bit put off by some of the reviews, but I've seen it I think that a lot of reviewers were expecting something completely different. Upset that it wasn't Rock School with movie jokes.

It's funny, it's got a heart, and it feels like they actually had a good time making it.

I haven't seen it, but it's awesome.

You know why it's awesome?
MICHEL FUCKIN GONDRY.
THAT'S WHY IT'S AWESOME.


Pretty much this ^

Gondry ftw!


it was so weird

not what I expected.

I loved seeing them re-make films I knew but it seemed to take to long to get to the point and I wasn't a fan of the end :(


Mm, so schmaltzy

like grown-up Sesame Street. I hated it, which is a shame as I love Gondry. I hate Jack Black with a passion though.


I really really liked it.

Gondry annoys me.
Eternal Sunshine is perfect and pretty much my favourite film ever but Science of Sleep was bollocks.
He needs a decent scripwriter I reckon.


love eternal sunshine

I've never seen science of slepe though.


sleep*


It's crap. Don't bother.

It's irritatingly out there and kooky and the script is shit. It physically sends me to sleep every time I watch it.


Will everyone stop having this opinion?

You're all very wrong and should stop it.


I love this site

everyone's wrong when they have an opinion ;)


oh I know you all do

I've been here long enough :p


Science of Sleep

has plenty of good set pieces and animation in it, but the characters aren't so great.


Stephané is a great character.

But I must admit, Stephanie is very plain and dull.


Science of Sleep

has plenty of good set pieces and animation in it, but the characters aren't so great.


i was just about to post

he should do another film with a writer like kaufman.


Unfortunately

it's shit. Jack Black and Mos Def couldn't be more slappable if they tried, they spoil a perfectly nice premise for a film.


Agreed.

Good idea, poor execution.


its fucking shit

you have really bad taste in films.


The only reason I have

ever wanted to see it was because michel gondry is god and did a lot of bjork videos, I also wanted to laugh Jack Black doing some 'acting'.


I like it

Michel Gondry's better when he's got a screenwriter but I still think it's great.
