I hate to be a debbie downer and I feel like such a bad Gyllenhaalic for saying this. But I looked forward to this film for the longest time. It looked like it could be better then all the silly romantic comedies out there. But sadly it let me down. :/ It was not the acting that is for sure because the characters were very believable and there certainly was chemistry. I feel like the hmm... I guess it would be the sound track really annoyed me. Especially in the moments where everything was supposed to be so meaningful they had this song playing with a woman singing she wasn't even saying anything it was just noises and they played it EVERY SINGLE TIME something important happened. That is really the only thing that bothered me. Besides that the acting was incredible, the characters were lovable and Jake was very easy on the eyes. lol Anyways my rant is now over... sorry.

That's okay Sasha. Just because we're Gyllenhaalics doesn't mean we can't ever be enoyed by anything. Also music wouldn't be something that Jake could activly influence. But it's good to know to bring earplugs just in case!

It's fine Sasha, everyone have it's own taste at least, you share your opinion and explain very well, me too i'm not the kind that like all Gyllenhaal's movie, and i'm not among those who's like above all his othre character Jack Twist, so definitely there's nothing wrong with it! Maria. @shelly thanks so much for the video! ;D

Wet, dark and wild posted some more stills of LAOD. This is my favourite: Ain't his smile the best?

Though we love Jake, we don't have to apologize for not liking all his movies to the same degree. I had reservations about LAOD and some of the actors, but not about Jake. I thought he did a terrific job, and I was delighted to see him portraying such a different kind of guy. Thinking back to Zodiac and Brothers, I almost can't believe it's the same person in all three films. Funny, I don't even recall the music that bothered you so much. That's not a criticism of your reaction; it just shows how unique we all are in what we focus on and what can move or distract us at any moment in time. I'm planning to see LAOD again today or tomorrow.

That's the good thing about watching a Jake movie: even if it's really bad, the music is way off and the dialogs horrible: just put on some earplugs and enjoy the eye-candy!

oh no, oh no, oh no - I just found out a theater about an hour drive away will do a preview next wednesday BUT - it's an hour drive away during reg. conditions and it's said to snow like crazy all of next week - so probably 1,5 hrs. - I don't have a sitter for my kids and my hubby has to work - EVEN so: they won't take reservations, so I might be there and NOT get in!
HELP PLEEEEASE! Otherwise I have to wait another month!

I just got back from seeing this. It was pretty good. The sex scenes weren't that graphic at all. But Jake was naked a lot.

Thanks for your review Shelly, about sex scenes, juts out of curiosity, did you mean that weren't all that naked sex scenes in the movie?
