However, in view of your own reaction. I think that having missed it might have turned out to have been the wiser thing to have done.<br /><br />It was the set-up of 'Common People' that attracted me. I'm favourably disposed to these 'portmanteau' vehicles of separate strands playing simultaneously, weaving in and out - and this one has had such wonderful reviews that I thought it must be a safe bet. In fact of all those who've registered votes on IMDb to date, 2/3 of them have given it either a 9 or a perfect 10. I'm obviously out of tune with the majority. I half expect a supporter of the film (or even one of the makers, as happened to me once) to come here and tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about and should confine myself to children's films and blockbusters. But if I don't like something there's no point in pretending that I do.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-14551553633881613512014-06-11T14:07:35.724-07:002014-06-11T14:07:35.724-07:00Even without your review, I wouldn't consider ...Even without your review, I wouldn't consider this one. Like "New York, I Love You" and "New Years Eve" these films have different little stories involving different characters that you can't make an emotional connection.<br /><br />Because I like Ethan Embry, I watched "Cheap Thrills" on Video On Demand." I found it to be cruel, bloody, violent and gross. However, to be objective, I have to say that this movie exposes the depths of what people are willing to do for money. Very relevant because of the economic times we live in. This movie will stick with you.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085842904367441128noreply@blogger.com
