Review of Girl Walks Into a Bar (2011) by Lilianetty L — 23 Jun 2011

Is SUPER slow and when it has rythm, the time that scene runs, is short, and did not like that. I'm not saying is BAD, I'm saying that it was supposed to be funny, but when it started to be slow, the comedy went down and some actors/actresses did NOT convinced me at all.

Plot: Different bars, one of a hell night. Different stories, some connect with some of them, some do not. All starts with a missing wallet....how this will end? Will the ex-cop find her wallet in this long night? Will the Dentist get his mission right instead of wrong? (by wrong, you should see the scene yourself, only funny part for me at least). One star for the effort made, since is not a bad script, is a fine and well done script.

Acting: Umm...the only ones who surprised me were Zachary Quinto, Carla Gugino and Robert Forster. They nailed their roles with their amazing acting skills. Rosario Dawson was doing well until a part I disliked, because she is talented, but did not convinced me (hint: ping pong). Chriqui was great, but sometimes it wasn't enough skills. Same Josh Hartnett, he is talented also, but for me, he did not nailed the role. Obviously last but not least, Danny DeVito was AWESOME! This man acts so natural, is funny and incredible at the same time. The crew did also an amazing job, so one star for each of them (some extras tried to act, but did not convinced me, sorry).

Music: Best part (the score was magnific). Yes, I loved the way they included different musics, including a bit of latino music (I was confused, since I did not knew if it was SALSA, BALADA or old salsa, like we say, SALSA DE LA GORDA). Anyway, it was enjoyable, so stars for the musicians involved.

To end this review, 3 stars of 5. I was GLAD Puerto Rico was included to be one of those US cities to watch the film (since is restricted in some countries around the world). Yes, Puerto Rico is not a state, but is still half part of what US owns (don't like it, but I need to live with that). Enjoy and HASTA LA PROXIMA SALSEROS! Bless you all and CHAO!
