garycbelleville Review of The Newest Pledge

The Newest Pledge (2010)

is there something I just simply not seeing.

[1/10 · 20 September 2012]

I wrote a review for a different film yesterday and stated that if you were to put on a kid happy face and watch the movie you would really enjoy it. I read both reviews for this movie and guess what, I don't get it. I tried watching this lightly, I mean as a child would do, not trying to pick out errors, or faults just sat down and tried really hard to enjoy, but I couldn't. This movie just doesn't do it for me. I read in a review that this was a surprise after another and very well done. Me six year old son told me everything that was going to happen before it did and he had not seen it before. Everything was completely predicable. The script was original for sure. For a two year old. I hate writing something negative about a film but sometimes you just have to say the truth and deal with it. The acting was.....well you know when someone is trying, really trying to play a role but he just doesn't fit the part. and to compensate he starts to over act. Well every single actor does this except for one. The best out of all actors. That would be the baby of course. There is actually one scene were I watch and both actors involved actually made be believe in them for that very short scene. The scene was when the omega kid hits on his buddy's hot mom in the kitchen. That 10 second interaction between the two actually looked real for there characters.

Sometimes a movie can be so stupid that it is actually that fact that makes it so funny. Not here, not by a long shot. I won't say don't watch it ,I'll let you decide. But if you do decide to watch it please come back and tell me where I went wrong. What should I have done differently in order not to view this in a negative way, if at all possible.
