REAL Life

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2014)

So I am reasonably intelligent, well educated, have refined taste, "worldly" kind of guy etc. and thus theoretical I should not like this movie, perhaps. Just the opposite! (Although I must admit to really liking Scarlett Johansson no matter where she appears).
Every moment, every frame of this movie is SO believable in a "stylized/hollywood production kind of a way". I can totally relate to all of it. When I really dig a movie I watch it for the 2nd/3rd/4th time just to see how it's made. And I am now watching it for the 2nd time. It captures I think a large %age of how the population truly works. And I think they did an excellent job of it in it's production... from the script to the acting to the editing and so on.
Theoretically this is not a good review compared to others I have seen here that go in depth in a very analytic way. But other than saying that the movie is good at capturing a "slice of life" that many guys at least can identify with/relate to, I think you should watch it as a movie that captures what our present day North American mentality and culture is all about. NOT that I believe it is all healthy and good, but it is what it is (our American culture/way of life I mean).
WARS have been started over women; men do amazingly crazy dangerous things because they are infatuated by women. This movie just captures a modern day slice of life in this respect, as I said. Okay so now I am going to go back to watching it for the second time....
