Movie Reviews

I am writing this review for one reason only. This is to warn you....if you feel you must watch this movie....don't do it with young children in the room. I felt like I needed a shower after watching this, and I only got through probably a quarter of it. Pretty awful stuff happens in this world and sometimes you have to portray this in a movie to give it that "living it" feeling; however, this movie was too "real" for me. Was this really the film that I'd heard so much good about? Clearly not. Oprah Winfrey is the executive producer of this mess, which says more than should be allowed. Nothing in my hands at the start of the credits running at the end but the feeling that I'd been duped. Morena Baccarin also shows up as a social worker with a mustache, sans make-up. "Spy" might inspire many to feel good about their weight issues, but what it tries to inspire sure as hell isn't much thought.
