This movie thinks a lot of itself. It thinks its intelligent, engaging and well acted. The film is almost as arrogant as its oh-so-smart characters. That’s why Smart People gets solid C from this reviewer. It is bland, oh-so bland. You’d think with a cast that has a history of successful turns in comedy, you’d find a spark to carry the movie. But no, Dennis Quaid is his always brutal self, Sarah Jessica Parker is forgettable, and Ellen Page doesn’t command attention like the prego Juno did character. The only good thing Smart People has going for it is Thomas Hayden Church. He’s funny and entertaining as Quaid’s deadbeat adopted brother. But of course he’s neglected and doesn’t appear on scr
THis movie was well , not good, not great, not excellent, but just bad. DONT GO AND SEE THIS its not worth your 4 dollars and 32 cents american...
Smart people will not spend money and time to see this terribly disappointing movie. Good stars wasted in flat screenplay that goes nowhere. And, here's a question for the film-maker: do they really think any woman would be romantically interested in a rude, unkempt, self-absorbed jerk as played by the lead actor? Yuk!!
Ellen Page was fantastic, yet again. Cute movie to see at an early matinee!
funny , entertaining, good story of a disfunctional family unit. worth a watch for sure
