I'm a bit disappointed with the epilogue, which felt a bit extraneous, but even that didn't ruin the overall impression. I was especially knocked on my ass by a few (to me) totally unexpected twists. Hats off to this one, truly, someone has done some serious work here. Jin-wook, battling with all the side effects of the very nicely thought out time travel, was excellent as always. Plus, he reminded me in the last episode why he makes my knees buckle beyond comprehension. Another character I developed a strong connection to was the main character's brother. His older form in particular was very appealing to me. Likewise, I can't get enough of Sun Woo's best friend. And I didn't mind the main character, either. On the contrary, I enjoyed her goofiness and immediacy. I recommend it, and I'll be sure to do it again. 4 stars.

The book was better, it went more in depth. The disappearance was better, more shocking. Too bad there was such a rush to get to the plot. If I didn't know the characters from the book, the introduction just wouldn't have been enough. The brief flashbacks are not enough of a source to get information about the characters' pasts. I liked the Rachel’s discovery, even though a simpler path was taken to get there compared to the book. I see this moment as the most emotional of the entire film. The acting was handled very well. I'm just annoyed that the train in the film was headed to New York instead of London. There's a hell of a difference between Britain and the States.

The boys tried their best, but that's about it. From the previews it looked like it might be a pure comedy with no shortage of funny lines. But everything was different. Absolutely all the jokes were used in the trailer. The rest of the film is a poorly made, muddled drama that lacks any meaningful plot. The characters don't have clear characters; they act one way, then another. The film basically consists of a lot of scenes that go nowhere, which are there just to drop a mostly very weak joke that just occurred to the writers. The supporting characters are also rather pointless. They just pop in and out without really mixing up the plot. Plus, most of them are pretty badly acted. This doesn't do it. 1.5 stars

I wanted to be harsh and give it one less star, but why? Because it's about something completely different than the book? So? The story was just as good, though not as believable. But then again, it didn't have as much farting, which is great. In short, this episode is also a treat for lovers of British humor, and Bridget Jones fans will at least get what they expected. And maybe even more. The soundtrack is also perfect, one hit after another. Traditionally, I didn't understand Bridget in the middle of the film and cursed her for her indecision, but she still won me over in the end. Because she's just plain old Bridget. 4.5 stars.

This is just a total nightmare. A bunch of completely unintelligent jokes with an even bigger pile of bad words crammed into a sleazy and disgusting movie. Not to mention the pathetic scene at the end. Lessons learned for next time? When Seth Rogen writes the screenplay for something, it can never be all that good.

I'm not setting off into the unknown next time. I have no problem with the characters, the lines are pretty funny too, but the biggest letdown is the action. It lacked any kind of suspense and was quite confusing at times. Only the soundtrack got full stars from me; otherwise this was boring. 2 stars

I'm going to repeat myself, but just like in The Legend of Tarzan, Margot was the best thing about the whole movie. It's not that I didn't enjoy the others, but next to her everyone is just dead weight. The beginning is awesome, all very stylish and crazy, as the times demand. From the awesome music to the funny and cruel lines to the costumes, everything suggested this was going to be a total blast. It's a shame that the whole film is based purely on this. The plot unfortunately doesn't offer anything new, the characters don't go deep enough, and the final denouement is a bit off. A weaker 4 stars.

An absolutely superb crew made up of great actors and actresses made sure that even though the story was lame in places, there was still something to watch. You could sense from all of them that they enjoyed filming it and really had a lot of fun. It's the dozens of cute and funny scenes that make you feel like you're going to tear up or bust out laughing that make this series above average. Basically the exact kinds of scenes you want to see your favorites in. Whether they feature Rain with Yeon-seo Oh, or Yeon-seo Oh and Ha-nui Lee, who for some reason can make me cry even when I’m laughing, it's awesome. Overall, I somehow couldn't control the tears towards the end. But that's proof to me that it works. I think if I didn't have so many Korean shows under my belt, and I didn't know almost all of the plots and cute stuff that I still enjoy, I'd probably be here right now calling it the best show in the world. And I'd probably devour the whole thing, start to finish. But unfortunately I've already had a sneak peek, so it was the "cute" scenes that got me more than the story. Oh, and the soundtrack was really good. 4 stars.

Miyazaki's films simply bring me a relaxing charm. The beautiful animation and cute characters are always guaranteed to help me forget everything and go with them into their magical fantasy world. The fact that the story isn't a masterpiece doesn't bother me at all, it’s enough that it has the divine Totoro in it...

In the first few minutes I found myself gushing over the beautiful animated New York City and giggling at the pets' perfectly polished behaviors and movements. If you have one, you'll definitely enjoy how much these pets resemble yours. Cute, funny, apt... that's how the film starts. After that, it's just the same old story about one group of animals trying to save another group of animals from the pound and more. Children will be fine with this story, adults will not. 3 stars.
