Summary: Pointless, Like a Cement Life Vest
Review: Awhile back, I wrote a review that was critical of this film. What I found amazing was that some folks thought highly of this video nausea quest. Then again, some folks still believe Iraq had weapons of mass destruction! Anyhow, I thought I would see if perhaps it was just me being hypercritical. I showed it, lent it, & foist it upon, some of the brightest folks I know. Over and over, the opinions reflected mine. In short...
This film is as pointless as a mint suppository! Two chaps who, if brains were nitroglycerine, wouldn't have enough to blow their noses; set off on a day hike into a desert wilderness (I said DESERT) armed with plenty of cigarettes but not a drop of water between them. They promptly get lost and haven't the wits to follow their own tracks back out or recognize the abundance of edible plants all around them. You see, along with not bringing water, or a compass, or a map, they also neglected to pack a brain! The movie is boring. I don't mean your typical, ordinary boring, but profoundly and astonishingly boring. The premise is stupid, the characters idiotic and the dialog about as scintilating as you'd expect from patients at a coma clinic. However, the scenery is nice. Really, if you simply want to sqander 20 bucks, I'll give you my address. It will be better spent than purchasing this video goiter. Key points: This movie is far less interesting than a flood at the Alka Seltzer factory, featuring two simps more banal than pay-toilets in a diahrrea ward, and as odious as flatulence in a space suit. Avoid this one like leprocy. That's my tip, and you can have it.

Summary: a road movie
Review: Two friends get lost while wondering the desert. As the movie progresses, without food and water, they slowly collapse physically and emotionally. There isn't much dialogue and you'll see why once you see the movie. It isn't necessary. This is also one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Gerry was directed by Gus Van Sant and it reminds me of his earlier movies like My Own Private Idaho,Drugstore Cowboy and Mala Noche(drifters in search of something). I wouldn't recommend Gerry to everyone but its one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Summary: GERRYatrics.
Review: This flick is boring beyond belief. Filmed entertainment is suppose to entertain, right? Here's the lowdown; two morons go hiking without hiking equiptment or a clue where it is they are going in the middle of a desert nowhere. They get lost. They continue to tread off in the obviously wrong direction (for cinemasenic puposes I can only guess). After what seems like two weeks (I think it's three days) one dies and the other is saved. That's it. The rest of the film consists of excruciatingly long shots of DAMON and AFFLECK walking silently or actual true-time sunsets. There is no character development and the plot is about as thick as the ten page script (has to be). The opening is ten minutes of the two quietly driving and whilst viewing I couldn't help but smell artsy vanity project, and by the end I knew it was cause this movie stinks. BO-RING.

Summary: TEDIOUS AND POINTLESS
Review: Two boring guys named GERRY (Buena Vista) get lost. One Gerry dies -- much like this empty film. There was a similar item in the news a while back. Two guys go hiking, get lost and one dies. The survivor says it was a mercy killing. Very odd story that raises numerous questions. None are answered in this unimaginative film that literally goes nowhere and does it at a snail's pace. No, slower than a snail.

Summary: a good movie, but don't purchase it
Review: When I first read that "Gerry" was one of the top films of 2003, I had to rent it. I finally saw it and let me say, it is a good film. It's been in my mind for some time now, but honestly, the movie is good, but I would not recommened it to anybody. I love this movie on a personel level that other people may not appreciate, but once again I would not recommend it. It is difficult to see a movie with not dialoge and nothing really entertaining. I am a fan of movies that are different and do not follow the norm, but I still want to be entertained. That is the point of a movie, to be entertained...but this movie is simply watching two men walk and walk...talk and walk some more. This is a good movie, watch it once I say if you have the opportunity, but do not jump out and buy it, because most people simply will not like it.

Summary: Loved it.
Review: This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. I haven't seen many films that are as deep as this one is. The way that Gus Van Sant, Matt Damon, and Casey Affleck chose to drag it out as much as they did just draws you into the situations that the characters are in, and you become a part of it all. You feel as if you have hiked with these boys, and then when the powerful climax finally approaches, it hits you like a brick. There is hardly any dialogue in this film. It doesn't need it. This is a film that you just have to submit to. I loved it. I am glad that I own it. I recently showed this film to my best friend and he loved it as well. All I can say is...I forgive Gus Van Sant for "Psycho '98" now. I really do. Recommended for anyone who is willing to stick with it.

Summary: Empty
Review: Imagine "The Blair Witch Project" if it was populated by "Dumb and Dumber" and you'll get something like "Gerry". In the movie, Gerry means a screw up ("We went left, which was a total Gerry"), and both of these men (Matt Damon and Casey Affleck) are named Gerry, kind of lets you know what you're in for, dosn't it. The two kids get lost in the New Mexico wilderness, and just get more and more lost. There is, however, some beautiful shots of the desert reminiscent of John Ford's Monument Vally. The purple and pink sky at sunset is breathtaking. I just wish they put a real story in with the photography. There is little dialogue and even less action (the only real moment being one of the boys stuck on a large rock). It is mostly up to the viewer to decide what is going on. I admit, I just didn't have a clue.

Summary: Well done experimental film.
Review: 'Gerry' is a film with great experimental value. The film has almost no speaking and only two characters. People who only like action, horror, or comedy will not like this film. Not enough happens to keep their interest. However, for people who like art-house, independent, or experimental film will eat this picture up. The acting is great and what there is of a script is very good. For people looking for something very different, 'Gerry' is the film for you.
