Summary: All That You Want and Funny
Review: Elijah Wood fans will like this movie. His performance was great. It's alittle confusing if you don't pay attention (fantasy or dream sequences). It is a sweet and funny coming of age movie. All the actors gave good performances. It is a bit of chick flick but not just for teens, as I am definately not a teen.

Summary: Great flick
Review: Elijah Wood is just a great actor, and Mandy Moore actually surprised me in her performance. All i want, orginally titled try 17, (based on a line betweem jones(Elijah) and Brad)is a story of a seventeen year old kid (Elijah) who rents an apartment and gets togethter with two of his neighbors. THroughout the film you learn aobut his family past and that true love can be found! the best scene is when Elijah kick's steve's ass! Go elijah! he is so HOT!

Summary: predictable ending, but still a captivating film
Review: Elijah Wood plays Jones, a 17-year-old with mommy issues in the sense that mommy won't tell him about long-absent daddy. He moves into a boarding house and pays a year's rent upfront. Then he gets to know Lisa (Mandy Moore), the starlet wannabe; Jane, the photographer who maces him when she meets him, and Steve, the homosexual painter in the cowboy hat, who comes to Jones' rescue from the landladies' sons and proves to be probably one of his best friends ever.It's a good script, interesting twists and turns to the plot. Definitely worth a look.

Summary: Same plot... again.
Review: How many times now have we seen movies that feature;
*"Troubled teen"
*Aspiring to be a writer
*Flashes to sceens of "troubled teen hero" acting out the phony adventures he writes about.
*dual 'love interest' goodgirl vs badgirl. Yawn, someone do something original already.

Summary: A good movie
Review: I admit I bought it for Elijah Wood, so I am biased toward him. I thought he was great. However,the movie is good also. I was surprised to see Moore do so well playing against an actor as strong as Wood, because I do find her somewhat irritating most times. There are weak spots. The dream/fantasy stuff @ times seemed too much & broke the flow for me, but in all it plays well & the actors do well in it. There are parts that are very funny, but it is quirky,not for the masses. Perkins was great playing Wood's mom for the 2nd time in his career.

Summary: Greatly Dissapointing
Review: I admit, i purchased "All I Want" (formerly known during production as "Try Seventeen") for Elijah Wood, yes, i admit. I was very excited when i heard a movie with Elijah Wood, Franka Potente, and Mandy Moore was being made because I absoluetly love them all. When I started to watch the film, it's opening was a bit iffy, but all doors were open. As the film got rolling, I found myself becoming more and more disinterested. There were some moments I found myself cringing from the acting. At others, I felt myself doze off into a fuzzy haze of bordom. By the end I wished i had my two hours back, and cursed the writer and director for their shoddy job. The movie had great potential, but in the end, was predictable, and uninteresting. I give it one star for (*) a waste of two hours, don't waste your time.

Summary: "Chasing" after what you want...
Review: I came across this movie during a visit to my DVD retailer after seeing Mandy Moore's latest film "Chasing Liberty". Having seen all three of the main characters in other work, I wasn't sure if this movie was worth the price to own, so I went and rented it. Aside from some of the predictable "plot lines" in the film, I enjoyed the film, right down to the soundtrack, which I can't say the same for some of the other films that were released about the same year as this one.
If you're looking for a film to complement this one, I would check out "Just Write" starring Jeremy Piven, as they have some of the same subject matter (writer, personal ghosts to overcome, going after what you want, etc.), not to mention the fact that both Jeremy and Mandy appeared in "Chasing Liberty" which I also liked.
Rating:
Summary: Quirky and entertaining
Review: I enjoyed All I want is all I need. I found it quirky & entertaining. Elijah Wood is the sardonic and jaded about his own life, but naieve about relationships. I found a lot to laugh at, especially his frankness to Lisa (Mandy Moore). His neighbors are an eclectic assortment that help him learn about life. Elizabeth Perkins embodies the Country Club mom. I found this different from the average same old story line.
Rating: 
Summary: All I want is to return this movie
Review: I have to admit, I bought this movie because I am an Eli fan. And he was good in this but his character was very weird and frankly disturbed. The movie has very little plot or point and far too many daydream sequences. It is rather stupid and very boring. Rent it before you buy it!
