PROBLEM: Movie is great - This DVD release is HORRIBLE . Don't buy this.  Seriously.  Someone is bound to release a better version.  This is PAN AND SCAN, cropped at 1:33, and seems to be transferred from some sort of used tape...Like a 3/4 inch VHS.  There are visible tape flutters and wrinkles throughout the film. And no it's NOT the print.  The film is fine.  It's the transfer.  cheap, cheap, cheap.    The compression is abysmal (notice the obvious scan lines on the titles) and the sound is piss poor.  How is it possible this is the only way this film is available in the US?  Disgraceful

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Definitive portrayal of generation X (for what that's worth) . Many reviewers and critics said it best...what do you do when the "hero" of the film (Ethan Hawke) is a complete a---hole, Winona Ryder is a horrid documentarian that would give Ed Wood, Jr. a run for his money, and Stiller, who is supposed to be the bad guy, actually isn't that bad of a human being?  And Winona's friends are the smarmy, arrogant, Generation X punks who think they know everything (when the reality is (forgive the pun) they don't know jack).  Past generations would quote Tolstoy and Shakespeare, Generation X quotes TV commercials, Scooby Doo cartoons, Star Wars, and bad sitcoms.  Generation X is probably the most insincere generation ever, detaching themselves and calling themselves "ironic", when all they really do is indulge in pretentious pseudo-intellectualism.   Is this film an accurate portrayal of them?  Yes, in some ways.  Is the film worth watching?  Yeah, at least once.  Stiller gives a decent performance, it's nicely shot, and Garofalo actually almost gives her slacker character depth.  This is probably due to the fact that Garofalo actually has some substance herself, as opposed to the character she plays.  Check it out more as an artifact of its time more than a cool film.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Pretty good, 6 year old LOVES it . I've rented several of the Barbie movies with my 6 year old and this is her absolute favorite, so I'm thinking of buying it for her for Christmas. I doubt I'd bother buying any of the others, it's too easy to rent them, but this one stands out for us and she keeps asking to rent it over and over again.    Don't buy this if you expect to share the true story of Rapunzel with your kids; there isn't much here from the original, other than the long hair. But it's an entertaining story (especially if you're a girl under the age of 10!) and it teaches kids the importance of telling the truth and sticking by your friends even when it isn't the easiest thing to do. My daughter and I enjoyed the extras, too.    I've probably seen this one about 8 times so far, and I can honestly say as a parent that it's not bad: It doesn't have me running out of the room each time my daughter asks to start it up, and it doesn't drive me nutty over awful, repetitive songs

SOLUTION:
POS
