Despite all the negative reactions I read, I consider Tangled unexpectedly enjoyable for a popcorn movie and worth watching. Maybe the scenario is not that shiny and the whole concept could have been processed in a much more impressive way, but still, it's a fine piece.The story tells about the love triangle of young American high school students. The warm-hearted David (Shawn Hatosy) secretly admires his best friend, beautiful photographer Jenny (Rachel Leigh Cook). When David's old friend, crazy and attractive, heedless Alan comes on the scene, Jenny falls in love with him. How will David deal with it? Especially Rhys Meyers did a good job. He's also very cute. Everybody has to love him as the beautiful and uncontrollable heartthrob Alan. The movie has an interesting cut sometimes. The story is perceived from retrospective and has a surprising ending. It's nothing intellectual or sophisticated surely, not artistic and not as complicated as it might look. But if you just want to relax and get amused (and if you like some of the lead actors starring here), you should watch it.

The premise of "Tangled" is a promising one. It's the old story of unrequited love in a triangle of friends which leads to madness and violence. Could make for a thrilling movie, but for some reason "Tangled" was made more complex than it should be with its unnecessary flashback-storytelling and its "surprising" twist ending. A traditional approach would have made for a much more natural feel. Also, in the final third of the movie characters start to behave unbelievably, all for the sake of a more shocking "outcome". Leigh Cook and Rhys Meyers do their best to give their characters more credibility, but Shawn Hatosy and his wooden facial expressions make everything worse. "Tangled" is watchable if nothing else is on, but it's neither a good movie, nor a satisfying way to kill time.

I´m sorry, what was I supposed to feel at the end of this movie? (spoilers ahead) Was I supposed to be shocked because Shawn Hatosy´s character wasn´t such a nice guy after all? Was I supposed to feel sorry for Johnathan Rhys-Meyer´s character? Well, it didn´t happen. He slept with the girl after all, no one put a gun to his head. He had the drug at his house, no one force him. So, Im not sure what was all about in the end. The guy was a creep, he had it coming. So, his friend wasn´t such a wimp after all, that was a relief. I don´t know, I enjoyed the movie, but the end was kind of a waste, trying to turn the good guy into a semi psycho when all I think he did was to get the girl he loved. All right, maybe he went a little bit overboard, but who hasn´t, one way or another? I give this movie a 6/10.

I first got to watch this movie on VCD.. and now that the DVD is releasd, I'm really looking forward to watching the extra stuff on the DVD. This movie was pretty cool.. the main reason for being so was cuzRachael Leigh Cook starrs in it.. but then.. still, this movie was interesting and kept my attention pretty well.The movie kept twisting around and around(the plot and the scenes) it did take me a while to realize the story fully, but in the end it all made sense. I thought it was cool how the story was laid out.*SPOILERS* (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!) at first I thougth that Alan was the bad guy and that David was the good guy... but all thatkinda changed when I got to the end... haha... it made me realize that Alan was DID REALLY love her.. and that David was supposedly trying to protect her from Alan.. cuz he knew Alan's bad reputation wit the three gurls and stuff. And in the process, David wanted her for himself. Also in this movie, Rachael kinda looks sexy, different from her usual cute looks. I just saw a different Rachael in this movie. And the fact that she actually co-produced this movie was kinda cool. I thought she it was pretty good for her first time. I highly recommend this movie... It might be pretty stupid or boring at first... but keep watching it.. and it might keep ya hooked..
