Main Street - A timeless and beautiful film.Summary: Main Street is a touching story about the challenges and extreme changes faced by people in a small struggling town. Some of the characters rationalize their behavior based on their immediate needs, whereas others fight to reach beyond the mundane struggles, and hopefully elevate their lives to help both themselves, as well as their community.John Doyle has produced an incredible portrayal of the human condition with his interpretation of "Main Street". Each scene appears as a sumptuous and meticulously prepared visual treat for the eyes. The content of the film was revealed in a subtle, yet well paced manner. It is obvious that considerable thought went into the preparation and delivery of this production.The acting was magnificent. I find it hard to believe there is a sentient viewer who could not relate to the rich character studies depicted in this impressive slice of American life. Mr. Doyle's succinct style and careful attention to detail may not be for everyone, but I found Main Street to be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.I seldom take the time to write a review, but feel it is important to say Congratulations, and offer a warm thank you to all who were involved with this wonderful production.

Watched this by pure coincidence on telly and got hooked by the awesome performance of everyone involved in this film. Story is about a decaying and nearly dead city which is suffocating its citizens. Younger people see their dreams and ambitions smashed by the lack of opportunities, middle aged people are stuck with their problems and older people long for the prosperous days when they were proud and purposeful and could live a decent life. A charismatic but very controversial businessman suddenly arrives. He carries a hazardous load. People find themselves in a painful dilemma. Should they take their risks and embrace change, or should they keep repeating their old routines that are so familiar but also hopeless and frustrating.I really cannot understand how people are not able to relate to this story, I a mean this is probably a situation every single person who has lived on earth has come across once in their lifetime. Acting is solid and captivating. I don't get you people who voted 4.7 out of 10. What is wrong with you??

I expected so much from this talented group of people. This movie blew up in my face like hazardous waste. Pun intended. Honestly, I couldn't find the strength within me to suffer this horrible film. I skipped a couple parts and didn't miss anything. One: Orlando Bloom attempted a southern accent. Please. Two: This old lady creeped me out. Three: This hazardous waste guy and a different older lady fell in love. Ew. Four: They all had southern accents. Which was sorta annoying. I watched most of this movie and can't even tell you what the plot is. The production was average at best, the plot was... (Wait... There was a plot?), and it sorta jumped all over the place with no clear purpose. This movie was a waste of time on all counts.

Definitely the worst movie of the year so far. People still get paid for this garbage!? Further proof that the movie industry is nothing more than a joke at this point. How and why does the United States of America continue to allow people to make money for pathetic trash such as this!?!? These actors aren't very good, I've seen Amber Tamblin is several other movies, none of which were very good at all. Ellen Burstyn, come on lady what are you like 90? Just die already... Colin Firth, certainly the most overrated actor of this generation. Nice moustache on Orlando Bloom too (haha, when will that bum give himself a clean shave?) Truly horrendous film, not sure if any of these actors or even the film industry as a whole will be able to recover from this one.
