This movie is Hollywood's desperate attempt to get the attention of hipsters. The result is a sad, limping piece of commercialized art starring the two most obvious choices for a movie designed with a specific group in mind.
Highly recommended if you don't know what a hipster is. The answer would be every character in this movie.
Dahl also began adapting his own novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was completed and rewritten by David Seltzer after Dahl failed to meet deadlines, and produced as the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). Dahl later disowned the film, saying he was "disappointed" because "he thought it placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie". He was also "infuriated" by the deviations in the plot devised by David Seltzer in his draft of the screenplay. This resulted in his refusal for any more versions of the book to be made in his lifetime.
And I have to say I'm behind Dahl all the way on this one.
This movie was way better than I thought. The acting was good and the characters weren't monumentally stupid (although there were more than a few "let's go check this dark alley for zombies" moments). Unfortunately, no one got chased around by an industrial thresher, which would have been super cool like in Cars.
Oh, also the ending was pretty lame. And there is no way in hell that fetus is legitimately surviving two fistfights, a car crash and an atom bomb.

This was one of the best wartime movies I've seen in a long time. Its title makes it sound retarded but it's great. I promise.Movie comment on Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

I agree with monty except for the part where he says Maggie Gyllenhaal is hot and does not resemble a sad bulldog.Movie comment on The Crazies
