Damn the critics are tearing into this one. Thia actually looked like it couls be a decent holiday film. Jeez, Will cant catch a break these days.

 

[Doctor Jones]

This trailer made me want to gauge my eyes out every time I saw it in theaters.

Ouch and it has such a crappy release date too.

 

[Incarnadine]

2 fresh, 8 rotten so far. One of the fresh ratings is from something called Spirituality and Practice, so I automatically dismiss that one.

It's been a while since I've laughed at a review's title and rating.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Wow not really unexpected but didn't think the reviews would be this bad. it's astonishing the names of actors who signed up for this.

This never looked like it could be decent to me. Every trailer looked pretty bad to me.

It kinda makes you wonder what the hell made them sign up for this. Did the director kidnap their children or something?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Naomie Harris is fortunate to have another movie come out with a lot of critical buzz surrounding it and her.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Trailer was horrible, not surprised this is bad

 

[David H.]

This movie's title makes me cringe so much.

 

[Lencho01]

I've read the basic plot points and I'm just laughing.

 

[Doctor Jones]

The cast got paid. It's fun watching Edward Norton give no ****s in this trailer at least.

 

[The Chris]

The movie always looked cheesy from the trailer, but i think i would have preferred that over what I'm hearing of the actual film. It sounds disgusting.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Could you elaborate on that mate? Put it in spoiler tags if you want.

I found this:

Spoiler

After the opening scene, Smith barely speaks for 30 minutes.

Smith spends a lot of Collateral Beauty’s first act in the background while Whit, Claire, and Simon engineer a scheme that is misguided at best and morally repulsive at worst. Fearful for their jobs and financial futures, they hire a group of actors from a nearby theater company to portray Howard’s three abstract concepts — Love, Time, and Death — and interact with him in public places. They plan to film him talking to these actors (played by Keira Knightley, Jacob Lattimore, and Helen Mirren, respectively), then digitally erase them from the footage so it looks like Howard’s talking to himself, then present that as evidence at a board meeting. That should get Howard deemed mentally incompetent and enable the other partners to sell the business out from under him.

Okay WTF! That's just takes the story to levels I never imagined. I thought this was a Christmas Carol spin. Makes me not want to watch this crap at all now.

 

[MadVillainy]

Damn Big Willie...

There is also an eye rolling "twist" to all that... *very major spoiler*

Spoiler

At the end it is revealed that the actors hired to play love, time and death really are love, time and death

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Will Smith needs a better agent or he needs to learn how to pick his films better

sad!

Jeez.

So what else happens at the end. Does Will's friends get comeuppance or do they learn the errors of their ways on some corny s***

I haven't actually seen it (and have no intention of seeing it), but it is being actively discussed (and dissed) on various forums.

Spoiler

I haven't actually read anything on what happens to his friends/co-workers, but they do mention Naomi Harris is ACTUALLY his estranged wife the whole time and they get back together
