Default Pay It Foward (2000) - 06-16-2005, 10:07 PM

I just saw this aired on TNT. Kevin Spacey's weird monotonous voice really irks me, but in this movie it really fit his character well. I don't really dig Helen Hunt either for some reason. Haley Joel Osment, the little kid from "the sixth sense", pisses me off ALOT, but I find myself liking him in this movie.

I thought the storyline was very well done as well. The final moments of the movie really are big tear jerkers...


I wouldn't give it a 6.7 like imdb does. I think I'd give it around an 8. I believe it's on TNT again (just started at the beginning around 11:30ish est)

so you watched a movie where evey character annoyed you and you liked it... oOo:

I mean, usually the actors suck, but for some reason their personalities (and/or shitty acting) fitted their characters. It almost made it seem more real, almost like a documentary.

Kevin Spacey is a great actor. However, on a scale of one to ten, I rate this movie as "balls"

Kevin Spacey = good actor
"Pay It Forward" = room temperature cat turd

I didn't like the movie at all. Haley Joel Osmont (or whatever the fuck that muppet's name is) needs to Culkinize himself and slip into obilvion.
