Review of People Like Us (2012) by Ethan H — 06 Nov 2013

I rented this movie not knowing what to expect, just assuming it would just be a good time waster, but this movie really stays with you and I havent been able to stop thinking about it for the past 2 hours after it was over so I knew I needed to write a review.

Every character is relatable, flawed, dynamic, FUNNY and takes you on a ride of emotions. Elizabeth Banks is a stellar actress and brings so much emotion to every scene. The storyline is interesting with surprises, but not anything that seems unrealistic, hard to believe, or trying too hard.

The ending was emotional for me b/c I can list many people whose story this movie reminded me of, and she really brought the emotion and pain of a whole lifetime not knowing her father, and what effect that has on a person even though they're grown and have been trying not to let it affect them.

ITS WORTH RENTING!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
