The Big White (2005)
Slow start but a great film
I saw this film after reading a fairly bad review but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. There are some excellent performances from Robin Williams, Holly Hunter and Woody Harrelson. I found it a bit slow at the beginning but it was very easy to get in to after a few minutes. An unusual story-line, definitely not one I've seen done a thousand times! I wouldn't call this a comedy personally, although there are some rather funny parts of the film, it is more of a romantic drama. The storyline basically follows a guy (Robin Williams) whose business is failing and financially he is struggling. His brother has been missing for 5 years, so Williams tries to cash in the life insurance policy but is told that without a body there is a 7 year scale before a missing person can be declared dead and legally they can do nothing.. Upon finding a body in a dumpster outside his work he thinks his problems may be solved, and the story follows his efforts to cash in the life insurance policy. A great story with a sweet ending.
The Good Girl (2002)
Awful
I saw this film a couple of years ago, and it is possibly the worst film I have EVER seen! It was so bad that I stuck it out till the very end convinced there must be some saving grace, but there wasn't.. A mind numbing storyline with a predictable plot, this film really wasn't worth the time it took to watch it. I can honestly say, closely rivalling the war of the worlds remake, this is the worst film I have ever seen. A big disappointment as a Jennifer Aniston fan :( The story is very slow moving and not particularly captivating. I am surprised this has such a high IMDb rating. It took a very long time to get in to and was hardly worth the effort once I got there. I watched this with friends who were all of the same opinion. It bored me to the point I couldn't believe I was still watching it.
