in MANHATTAN! |
Are you serious! |
What I hate about this show is how poorly the leads are written. |
These women have no self-respect or dignity. |
The entire plot is them throwing themselves at guys. |
Amanda Bynes' talent is completely wasted. |
She was brilliant on "All That" and her own show. |
Why they would write her and Jenny Garth as vapid, airhead, desperate, men chasing, "old-maid" wannabes is beyond me. |
Their plots and dialog remind me of "The Simpons", Homer says whenever his cartoon character Poochie is not on screen, "Everyone should ask, where's Poochie?" |
All the talk centers on whining about some guy, and then whining to some guy. |
Sometimes they change it up and the guy whines instead. |
Then they get back together or break up at the end. |
The 2 women are either shallow, stupid, or sex addicts. |
The only word I can think of is "sucks." |
Well, what can you say about sitcoms. |
There often quite lame, morale dedicative, and just plain. |
So is this show! |
It got a boring cast, although A.Bynes is okej in her perky way, the rest is just stereotypical crap.... |
as always. |
We have all seen it before, and will probably see it all over again when this show is cancelled. |
Cause, lets face it, its a mediocre and self righteous show. |
As the most sitcoms are.... |
Well, in short. |
If you wanna see some good entertainment, you can rather take a twenty minute pause in front of the mirror. |
Do some faces and move on.... |
Its more entertaining than this show! |
This was disappointing. |
It started well enough but as it went on and lost every opportunity to soar, it fell flat. |
Maria Schrader's acting is dreadful, never seeming to mean what she says, or even knowing what she says until she says it. |
She showed no genuine emotion at all, not for her beloved goy, or her mother's story. |
When with Lena she seemed to have little more than an academic interest in Lena's story. |
There never seemed to be a real relationship between Lena and her mother except her mother seemed to be having a good time at the wedding, which isn't much. |
The supposed parallel between Hannah's "mixed" romance and her mother's relationship with her father was as cliché as they come, and failed miserably anyway. |
The wedding was completely unconvincing and a dumb finish. |
The climax of the protest was uninspiring, and no matter what Lena had or had not done to influence the outcome, she would surely have shown some complexity of feeling at the time, a haunted look, an inexplicable ambivalence. |
In fact, none of the characters in the film had any depth or spark. |
It was very hard to care about any of them, even little Ruth. |
Everything with Luis was a distraction. |
(Why did she dis him so when on the phone from the hotel? |
There was no context or explanation whatever for that.) If every reference to him was removed it wouldn't be noticed. |
A simple story made confusing by poor character development (who was whose mother, again?? |
) weak acting, and directing that made everyone look like they were acting. |
You could almost hear "quiet on the set! |
.... |
" I started thinking this was worthy of a 7, but as the film went on it dropped rapidly to a 4, then earning a 3 after the silliness of the wedding scene. |
This was about as cold and sterile a movie as I have seen. |
A terrible waste of a good story. |
One thing that astonished me about this film (and not in a good way) was that Nathan Stoltzfus, who seems to pride himself on being the major historian on the topic of the Rosenstrasse, was one of the historians working on this film, considering how much of the actual events were altered or disregarded. |
Another reviewer said that von Trotta said she never meant for Lena to bed Goebbels, but in that case, why did she give every impression that that was what had happened? |
Why not show other possible reasons for the mens' release, such as the disaster that was Stalingrad, or the Nazis' fear that the international press, based in Berlin, would find out about the protest. |
Also, why did the whole storyline play second fiddle to a weak family bonding storyline that has been done over and over again? |
Surely something as awesome as this could carry its own history! |
In places, it was as if the film had two story lines that really seemed to have little in common. |
Overall, this film failed in its aim, which was to draw attention to a little-known act of resistance, which is a shame, because done better, it could have had a major impact. |
(SPOILERS IN THIS) "Rosenstraße" is a movie about heroic women in German Nazi time. |
But it is way too long, it is not touching and sometimes even boring! |
There are too many clichés and not enough good acting. |
The storytelling (storyline) is bad. |
Like in James Cameron´s Titanic an old woman remembers events of her live. |
Good, now we´ve got a point of view. |
Than there is another woman introduced who does the same. |
Confusing is that they both are recalling events of lifes of other people! |
Come on! |
This is a lack of knowledge of basic story telling... |
How can Riemann know about the fate of the little girl´s mother and her interrogation for example? |
The scenes are shown in the wrong order and you rarely know when it took place. |
For example the scene when Riemann is proposing to Fabian. |
When did that happen? |
The scene looks like it is set in the Twenties... |
Riemann´s character is of course a talented pianist, well, she is even a Baroness! |
Wow. |
Her brother comes back from the Eastern Front, he has received a "Ritterkreuz" which he is showing in some scenes. |
So he is a war hero and still a fine man who preserved his conscience. |
And he gained knowledge of massacres committed by Germans. |
He even made some photographs! |
And so it goes, cliché after cliché is piling up and this is why the movie does not work. |
Basically von Trotta made a chick flick out of something what could have been a decent movie. |
And in the end it´s all very simple. |
Riemann finds a way to get Goebbels into bed and - ta da! |
- everyone is free. |
Which is not a historical fact but pure imagination despite the "true story" claim at the beginning. |
Like "Sass" it is vaguely BASED on a true event. |
It is sad but true, this IS the typical German movie these days. |
It is bad! |

Overall an extremely disappointing picture. |
Very, very slow build up to the basic storyline. |
The role of Maria Schrader searching for her families secret past. |
(Every take seems to last forever . |
There is really no rhythm in the film.) ***SPOILERS*** Her Mother Ruth is rescued from the Nazis, by a German woman, played by Katja Riemann. |
The entire character of Ruth is so one dimensional, so stereotypical. |
***SPOILERS END*** The film cuts back and forth between present day New York and Berlin and Berlin 40s something. |
Please when you do that, give the audience an indication of what time exactly the story takes place. |
There is never a clear indication of time very annoying. |
Worst part is, the end. |
***SPOILERS*** The entire show and jabber about the Jews being so terribly tormented, simply by a bureaucratic accident! |
Give me a break. |
That's how the Jews got out of the Rosenstrasse? |
The question of who freed the Jews is NEVER answered. |
Was is Goebels who freed them? |
