Summary: Boring Movie
Review: I found Vanilla Sky to be boring. The theme and storyline is very weak. It cannot be compared to Jerry Maguire which is a really good movie. The only good thing about this movie is the actors(Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz). If your a fan of these actors watch it for that reason, if not skip it.

Summary: See it more than once!
Review: This is a GREAT movie. As the Director Crowe said, you can find something new every time you see it. Some found the plot too confusing, but trust me, if you see it one more time, you'll find yourself actually very interested and intrugued by the story. I don't know why critics didn't rate this so good at all, but everyone involved in this movie did a marvelous job. It's definitely worth seeing once in a while and thinking about the meanings behind it.

Summary: I loved it. Exceeded my expectations.
Review: Lets face it...when this movie first came out, there was a lot of mixed reviews. I was one of those individuals that listened to all of the hub-bub, and decided not to see this movie. Big mistake. I'm not going to summarize the story line..., but i will tell you that the acting is superb, the music is fantastic, the cinemetography is outstanding, and the story line is very origonal (besides the fact that this is a remake of a spanish film called Open Your Eyes). I would highly recommend this film... Well worth it.

Summary: Vanilla sky is amazing
Review: I saw Vanilla Sky on VHS, but I'm sure that the DVD version is better . The movie itself is amazing . It keeps you in suspense and just when you think you've got it all figured out it takes another twist . You will see that it will keep you guessing and it won't make sense at times, but it all comes together in the end. Cruise, Cruz and Diaz really flesh out their characters. See Vanilla Sky for yourself it'll leave you dreaming !

Review: This movie is so terrible that I can't believe I watched it to the end! I now want my 2 hours back! Nothing made sense and it was extremely hard to follow. Eat some vanilla ice cream instead!

Summary: Brilliant! Crowe/Cruise at their Finest!
Review: I have not seen "Abre Los Ojos," so I viewed Vanilla Sky without any comparative reference point. What I CAN tell you is that it was one of the most jarring movies I've seen in years--and I mean that in a good way. There's nothing better than a movie which you'll think about long after you've seen it, and I'll never forget this one. The Cameron Diaz scene in the car is something you will never forget. According to Crowe, there's 4 different interpretations floating around for this movie. The one he forwards (and directs) is the most easily digestible, but he's open to anything. BONUS about the DVD: in his audio commentary, Crowe will provide you clues and basically explain what is really going on, if you didn't catch on first viewing. This may or may not be to your liking--if you don't like being tipped off I suggest you buy Mulholland Drive, which I'm still trying to figure out (but love regardless). Apparently a lot of people didn't like this movie because they see the name Cruise and expect action. This is NOT an action flick--it is a psychological drama along the dreamy lines of movies like Jacob's Ladder, Mulholland Drive and even the Matrix in some respects. Lots of clues, lots of unforgettable scenes, and here's my one clue that doesn't give too much away: LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. The songs are all cues in themselves. Hell even the Paul McCartney song at the end of the movie is good! When was the last time you could say that? Great movie. Will appreciate after multiple viewings.

Summary: Crowe scores again with masterpiece of pop culture + suspece
Review: The only thing I had heard about this movie before I saw it was 'it sucked', but knowing some of my friends, I had to see this for myself. Sure enough, Vanilla Sky was a hit. I have not seen the original spanish film 'Abre Los Ojos' but if it is half as good as Vanilla Sky then I think its worth seeing.
Director Cameron Crowe (jerry maguire, almost famous)and actor Tom Cruise team up for a thriller that messes with your head untill its over. Cruise stars as David who thinks he has the perfect life. He has money, good looks, and is surounded by beautiful women all the time. But when his playmate (Cameron Diaz) gets a tad bit jelous of his new lover Sophia (Penelope Cruz) she desides to end both of their lives. Tragicly she dies, and David's face is scared forever...or is it?? This movie kept me guessing untill the very end. It was like a David Lynch film, except it made sense in the end. A definate good one to see....

Summary: Not Too Sweet.....
Review: I am pretty open minded when it comes to an offbeat movie outing. With "Vanilla Sky", the beat was a little too off, even for me................ Perhaps I am in the minority, but I view this film as irritatingly disjointed, and purposely confusing. You think you know what's going on, then, everything abruptly changes to show the viewer that they've been fooled time and time again. After a while, there's no fathomable plot-line, and nothing worth attempting to decipher anyway. ................ Are we supposed to find Tom Cruise's character, a sympathetic one? A guy who's had everything handed to him, and is callously carefree and confident? Cameron Diaz is the most entertaining character, and leaves too soon as she gives him his due, but then what on earth is happening after that? Is what's happening even ON earth? From that point on, this is an incomprehensible mess of a story, and a mystery not quite tempting enough to solve. Even when you think you've got it seemingly figured out, there's some break or sudden change to let you know you've been fooled again. That can be fun, and necessary in a "who-dunnit" mystery scenario, but in "Vanilla Sky", it only seems obnoxious. ............... Director Cameron Crowe has mastered many fine films in a long successful career, but I'm afraid this time, despite a decent cast, the relentless and repeated juxtapositionof the plot line, makes "Vanilla Sky" a tedious, pretentious, and highly confusing viewing experience.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Let's face it. I could watch Tom Cruise sit in a chair for 2 hours. This film was a journey. Very fun, very adult, very emotional. Critics have knocked the film's difficult story line, but I recommend just sitting down and going for the ride. You will understand past scenes only as new scenes develop. Don't try to figure out the story line the first time you watch this film. I watched it for a second time a day after my first viewing. It may be the best overall film I have ever seen. Watch it AT LEAST TWICE.
