Things to Do (2006) Reviews
He had to move back home
Well it's all about having to go back home. We've done it a million times, you move away things get messed up with the crap job and you go back home. Hope you don't run into people you know, you find your best friend and search for yourself. This movie is hilarious, like another writer commented, starts a bit slow but does it pick up. The quintessential guy flick, get a beer, some popcorn and get ready to howl. And by the way, the last commenter was right, simple soundtrack but extremely effective, very Good Will Hunting. By the way this was my first post, I'm a movie junkie and am sure I'll get better with practice.
Funny movie, with a good message!
I recently rented this movie from the festival collection and I was pleasantly surprised. It is the story of a young guy trying to figure out what to do with his life which I could totally relate to. The idea of feeling trapped in a dead end job and thinking you have no other options is something I think many other people can also relate to as well. The movie starts a bit slow but really picks up steam with the introduction of Mac, the main characters free spirited sidekick who had a youthful innocence about him. I really enjoyed their relationship and how they played off of each other. The film has a bit of a Wes Anderson feel to it, and also sports a really good soundtrack. Definitely worth checking out.
Refreshing...
things to do.... a refreshing change from all the Hollywood blockbusters!!! the film brings about many issues in life and makes us think how wonderful it is to be alive!!!! mid-life crisis, stranded in a big city, feeling a bit lost, depressed. Things to do with the aid of a beautiful soundtrack shines a positive light on how life can suck for some and emphasises the importance of being positive, keeping busy and enjoying yourself. he moves home, he makes a new friend.... re lives his childhood and goes about on a mission to do all the things he wanted to do... GENIUS!!!! the film is a quite therapeutic and cruises along at a nice pace. Beautiful film... highly recommended and will definitely make you chuckle once and awhile!!! first review.... so spare me please lol
Great laughs lots of fun to watch!
I came across this film based on high recommendation from an established film producer. I enjoyed the direction in the film and would like to see more work from this filmmaker. I especially enjoyed the use of the El Camino...where have all these great cars gone? The chemistry between the two leads was also good. I have seen plenty of indie films and this one definitely makes my top ten...it makes for a great trip into a "twenty-something's" past, begging you to ask what's important in life, especially if you've found yourself in a position you did not entirely choose to be in. I am sure there are lots of twenty-somethings in a place like this right now...check this film out, it has something to say about this period of indecision.
Napolean Dynamite meet your match!
Things To Do was a totally pleasant and unexpected surprise. I laughed so hard, I spit out my M&Ms! Everyone has gone through a traumatic event in their life that makes them reflect on, where am I going? What I am doing? There are so many things I have yet to do! Things To Do captures this beautifully and makes you laugh in the process! Hysterical moments - tennis balls and tear-away pants! The type of movie you make a part of your collection and watch again and again when you need to feel good. Great performances, look out for Daniel Wilson. Really good soundtrack, love to know where I could find it. Think Garden State meets The Royal Tenenbaums. Loved it!
