The Year of Spectacular Men

Okay, I realize this isn't a classic and I understand why many people didn't like it, since at the end of the day it's all about taste. What I don't understand is, why are there so many low ratings when it's clear that the movie fulfilled its purpose. I rated it so high compared to most people because it was lovely and I think the overall rating doesn't do it justice. Furthermore I like these kinds of movies that follow somebody's journey through life, especially when they are at a low point. And this one really didn't disappoint me. We watched our young protagonist deal with pretty much everyday problems of a woman. I mean I get why for some people this would be kind of boring since more or less we deal with things like that in real life, but that's exactly one of the reasons I liked it. It's painfully realistic and it seems to me that it comes from a place of love for one's family and anguish for what's gonna come next. It isn't your typical comedy, but it made me laugh, it made me cry, and I'll admit it was kind of awkward at times. But hey, isn't that life?

While i applaud Zoey for throwing a bone to her entire family, Mama should've contributed to her retirement fund and stopped after Back To The Future, and her sister could easily be gainfully employed at Home Depot! ...this one just missed the mark all together....

Directed by Lea Thompson of Back to the Future fame and led by her two daughters, the family affair comes through the screen in an inimitable authenticity. The various men who come and go in Izzy's life has been tread before. The movie picks up emotional undertones when it moves to San Francisco, as Izzy finally confides a family secret to Sabrina. Californians will enjoy the backdrop (LA and SF resident)

At first the movie was just okay but i felt myself really getting emotional a few times. It's funny, quirky, relatable and a great movie to watch solo or with your close girlfriends. I loved it

I really liked this. The chemistry between all the characters is great which makes sense since they're family. It's about trying to find yourself after college and with no support or direction. It's relatable. It's cute. It's quirky. Is it the best movie I've ever seen? No. But it's real and that's what makes it great. The only thing I was disappointed in is I really wanted her and Charlie Reed to end up together or at least work out their issues! A little closure on that would have been nice. Otherwise totally worth the watch!
