The Devil and Daniel Webster (2003)
What the heck?
I went for this movie believing it had good ratings. Firstly, it is ridiculous that they're releasing a movie originally made in 2001, seven years later in 2008 here in India. Everything in the movie looks dated. Even for 2001 the movie looks like its been made on a shoe string budget. There is a scene where a taxi hits a man to elaborate how low budget you can get. Anthony Hopkins doesn't seem to know what he is doing in the film. He ends up giving a long monologue towards the end. If the film had bright sparks during that scene, I missed it as I was sleeping on my seat. Nothing about Jennifer Love Hewitt resembles a Devil. She wears ill-fitting trite clothes and scowls at random kids. As for Alec Baldwin a scene where he goes to meet Webster for the first time is not to be missed. What a waste of money! As Anthony Hopkins rightly put it, "Go back home and write better!"
Knock Knock, I'm Looking to Marry (2003)
Horrible
Expected a lot from this movie but when I saw it I was truly disappointed. The lead roles deliver a very horrible acting performance. The direction is okay. The film has exceptionally poor sound dubbing. The female lead has a sombre face through out the movie which really gets on one's nerves!
The plot is okay but the pace is too slow and the movie becomes unbearable at times. Surprisingly the film did well in some centres. Probably coz of the subject of arranged and love marriage... This film hardly deals with the complications of this issue. Avoid.
