This is a romance comedy with a fantasy element. The actors are good but the story isn't strong enough to sustain the movie. Sienna is quite a good actress and a surprisingly convincing white trash although she is a bit too pretty to be so hard up. Didin't know she was quite versatile. James Franco is good but his lines are exaggerated. In fact both of them have such annoying roles. Carradine is quite good too. The only humor comes from the "Death Becomes Her" type jokes about decaying bodies. The romance is just so strained and annoying. The plot really falls apart later on and lacks even an allegorical logic. Don't bother with this dud even if you are a fan of the actors.
... View More"Tiger, I had a great honeymoon".Camille is a must see. It's a fantastic honeymoon story with some interesting twists (for the most part you wouldn't expect the different twists). The creators did terrific job of turning what might have been a typical "honeymoon in Niagara Falls" story into a moving drama/adventure with some comedic moments. And the acting, writing, directing is all excellent.With a budget of around $6 million, Camille definitely flew under the radar. I'd never heard of Camille before seeing it listed in on the guide. That's a shame. I'm sure that it would have been a success at the box office if they'd advertised it a bit.Camille (2007) is a must see. You'll really enjoy it!
... View MoreI'm somewhat puzzled by the reviewers (many professional) that couldn't appreciate the fairy-tale storyline and suspend their disbelief. This is one of the cutest, most romantic movies I have ever seen. It is all about the power of love, a fast-forward view of a whole lifetime lived within a short honeymoon. From a spotless wedding-gown to withering away as we age, with love that only grows stronger and more true. This is definitely a love-it or hate-it movie, though everyone seems to agree that the acting was superb. It's the size and softness of your heart that will determine if you love it, some people just don't get romance. I have seen it now several times on video, and I still can't help but cry when it rains rice and when Silas and Camille dance in the rain to the "Ways of Way Back When." And I'm a grown man, go figure. Beautiful, stunning movie, a fairy tale for those who have lived long enough to understand true love, whether they've found it or not.
... View MoreWhat a truly moronic movie, all I can say is the writer must be very fond of magic mushrooms and LSD because this must be the result of one of his 'trips'.You follow the whole movie thinking alright this is very weird but hey I'm sure at the end there will be a perfectly good explanation for all of this... Only to be disappointed to find erm no there's no explanation at all and the twist at the end makes it even more confusing. At the end of the movie you'll probably have the same facial expression as if you were standing in a Que paying for you groceries and the merchant told you, that'll be 11.95 please and proceeded to elbow you in the balls for no apparent reason. There are so many factors in this movie that go unexplained and I think it leaves it to the imagination of the viewer in an entirely bizarre way. Don't get me wrong I like weird movies, 'The Cell' could easily be described as weird and twisted but in my eyes it's a brilliant movie (despite casting J-Lo who I dislike to the maximum even that didn't manage to sway my opinion). This isn't one of those movies, and I think you should take in to consideration the characters of those who praise this movie. I can tell you they are probably the sort of people that would go to an art exhibition, see a splat of pigeon excrement on a white board and say "Oooooh what a masterpiece, the artist has truly found a unique way to portray eternity" when in actual fact all it is, is bird excrement on a board.Keep that last bit in mind when watching this movie, Thanks for reading!
