katemiller-18083 I'm not giving The Oranges an amazing rating out of 10, but it was fine for a Sunday afternoon movie binge. A lot of people are bagging out the premise, but I actually consider it to be a new take on the usual Hollywood BS of an older guy and a younger girl in a relationship. The story typically goes "Older guy falls in love with younger woman and vice versa, and no one really seems to give a crap about the age difference and they live happily ever after". Fortunately, this one is a little more realistic - "Older guy falls in love with younger woman and vice versa, and everyone reacts as you would expect them to - i.e. they freak the s*** out". It's an enjoyable film that is worth the hour and a half.

pc_kerr I like the adult actors in the movie who give solid performance despite the "piece of crap" lines they were forced to say. Maybe they had bills to pay and this movie just came along. A lightweight at best, actress, Leighton Meester, plays the prodigal daughter who returns home and breaks up the marriage of her parents' best friends. And she manages to break up the friendship between the two couples who have been friends for more than 20 years. It means nothing to her. Whether the aforementioned marriage was "happy" is not the point; it was a marriage and this flighty vapid girl takes down the man/Hugh Laurie like a lion after a wounded gazelle. He's ripe for the picking and she has no sense of decency/morality at all. This movie made my skin crawl; there was nothing funny about it. The vixen feels there are no rules and that's her game in all of this. Take what you want and to hell with the consequences. In fact, she sees people who don't take her side as being prudish, old-fashioned, biased again her youth, etc. The movie is without value. Give it a pass.

windaandinisugianto Some people might find this movie tasteless. Probably because the tag line is "SEX. BETRAYAL. SCANDAL" which was kinda misleading people to see the movie through that glasses. only to find that they felt uncomfortable watching the romance between a 24 years old girl and a man which was her father's best friend. the movie is more than that, it's actually about two family dealing with this kind of conflict and finding happiness. it's about what you really wanted in life that will makes you happy. only they put it in a more complex situation. and i don't like the jokes (on/from?) Ethan's part. it felt kinda dry. he shouldn't even bother to come.

kosmasp What you have to be clear about, is that this movie is about perception. How do people perceive things, how does society judge and how do we know what is wrong and right? While I admit that especially later on, this movie lacks a bit of attachment to some of the characters, in never feels like they are cardboard cut outs. And while it might seem that passion is missing, just acting wild is not the definition of going through things. Sometimes a more subtle approach can work better.If you feel, the movie should have been more aggressive in that case, that is a fair point, but you either accept that it didn't take that route or you are condemning it to lose from the start. The actors are incredible, but reading their names alone should tell you that. Their interactions and connections seem to work perfectly. Even the ending is nicely done, although as always it won't satisfy everybody of course. A family drama/comedy that is by definition not a family film, but a look into guilt, responsibilities, growing up and (as mentioned above) perception
