A Pox on the long and bad reviews

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2012)

Ignore the reviews giving under 5. They don't know how to review movies. I curse them to be forced to watch "Super Babies" over and over until giving 1-star to a decently made movie gives them pain. Skip the long reviews, too: this film doesn't need a long review. If you like dramas with a little kick-ass thrown in and a little escapist fantasy, this is a great film. I should probably develop my own scale for date movies and rate them accordingly. That in mind, it's not a chick-flick, but also not a pure testosterone film, though it leans more toward the guy side. De Niro's presence automatically adds at least 4 points to any film review, though you can scale that down a bit for "Limitless" due to his relatively short screen time. That said, his screen time for plot purposes is good.
Summary: get out the popcorn and soda, or wine plus crackers and cheese and summer sausage and cuddle on the sofa for a balanced film.
