great film look out for the car chase through the streets

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Weak Script.Good Acting
Review: I only give Playing God 3 stars just because the acting is good,it's the only thing good about the movie.Very weak scirpt and bad editing.And when it came out I was so looking forward to seeing it because I love both David Duchovny and Angelina Jolie and I was really disappointed.Well we all know Angelina has come along way since this and Hackers and David should stick to more stuff like Return To Me.Overall,Playing God is worth to rent,but not to buy.

Summary: The WORST movie of all time!!!
Review: I should have known to stay away from this when our local newspaper gave it an F. But, 9 times out of 10, film critics are usually wrong, and I end up loving what they hate. So, we went anyways.....Well, for once, we should have listened to that paper. This movie is SO ridiculous, and the acting is SO horrible, and the plot is SO completely asinine, that it brings a question to mind....who in their right mind could have possibly thought this script was worthy of committing to celluloid??? My friend and I managed to keep people from walking out and lamenting on their lost 7 bucks by cracking jokes throughout the whole movie, and halfway through, we had the whole theater (all 6 of them, my party of 3 included) turned around in their seats watching us to see what we were going to say next. I don't think any of us actually saw the ending.....I do have a sort of affection for this movie for the fact that I realized that no matter how bad the movie is, I can always manage to keep myself entertained, simply by making fun of it. For that, it gets my one measly star. Well, that and you're required to put at least one when you review these things. Although I do have to agree with one of the reviewers..I haven't laughed so hard in a while either!

Summary: Hilarious Farce
Review: I thought I was going to hate PLAYING GOD, but it's so ridiculous it's endearing. I hadn't laughed so hard in a while. This is one preposterous giggle-fest from start to finish, but at least the makers knew that. Completely ludicrous situations develop that the characters encounter with hilarious aplomb. Duchovny's character could do a heart transplant on a Cadillac's hood if only you gave him a spork and bungee cord. Duchovny's absurd narration overdubs alone are priceless. Cliches are satirized mercilessly. One scene, where he's riding an elevator, has Duchovny internally opining about what it's like to be a surgeon. Try and make out his bizarre analogy between surgery and flying an F-14. It doesn't make a lick of sense, of course, but the whole thing is hilarious.

Timothy Hutton -I think that's his name- plays the perfect comic badguy. The supposed gang war at the heart of this thing is totally absurdly dumb, but it makes for some great dialogue. Boris the Bulgarian was brilliant, all of his lines seemed to be delivered in mid-guffaw. Angelina Jolie seems to be the only one who's actually trying to convincingly act, but we can forgive her for that particular oversight. From script to acting to action, this movie is a plain ol' goofball fest from start to finish. Highly enjoyable.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: worth watching
Review: i thought this movie had some pretty good acting, and some really good lines, but at times, it was hard to watch, and i got a little bored. Angelina doesn't look her best in this movie, hell, she just looks bad with short hair, but i love to watch her, so it's worth it if you love angie! i wish she was on screen more though. i thought David didn't do a very convincing job of acting as a junkie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very enjoyable movie
Review: I would give it five stars because it is my favorite movie of all time, but some would say that it's far from perfect. I really like this movie because the main character, has flaws. It makes it seem more realistic to me when people in movies aren't perfect. It has good camera work that I really like. It makes for some cool shots and I never felt lost when some action was going on. It has a cool car chase, just the right amount of comedy here and there, a decent story, fairly good acting, and some good action! This definatly could have been better, but I think it has just the right combination of things to make it an enjoyable movie that I think anyone that is a fan of action or David Duchovny should definately see. I don't think you'll be dissapointed!

Summary: not memorable
Review: It was ok, didn't really grab my attention though; i completely forgot what happened in the end. (btw, I love DD, watched Kalifornia numerous times)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It stinks!
Review: It's so bad it should come with a clothes pin! I love David Dochovny, but as Fox Mulder. He is not believable as a doctor! Don't waste your time!
