Rubbish acting throughout

I watched Inside out this afternoon.Where to start, well Paul Levesque aka Tipple H was surprisingly OK inthis slightly mediocre debacle. - I think with a better cast Inside outcould well have been a lot easier to stomach.The issues came when we are introduced to Claire Small, role played byParker Posey. Absolutely hideous, from her stupid accent to just acomplete lack of acting skills. There is a scene toward the end where she is supposedly upset, and itjust looks horrible and awkward, but not in the way it shouldconsidering the situation. Essentially every scene she is in isrubbish: They should have cast her as the strange voiceless assassinplayed by Jency Griffin, a least then she wouldn't have had to speak.No, I didn't like her at all especially the fact that she had ArloJayne's child, yet never bothered to tell her daughter, who was clearlyan inquisitive person that her dad was Arlo. - He was only serving 13years, a long time yes, but it shows the selfishness / stupidity ofClaire that she let her daughter believe Jack was her father and didn'thave the foresight to think - oh wait, Jack and Arlo are best friendsand when he is released Jack is going to want to see Arlo.While they rode of into the proverbial sunset at the end, I can see herprobably sleeping with the fitness instructor or some other adulterycliché, because that is the type of character she comes off as,Horrible.Then if Claire wasn't annoying enough, you get Julie White as Martha -I don't know what the hell is going on with her character."Did you know Money from Cigarettes goes to Bin Laden". Yes, she isanother flat annoying character that should really have been played bysomeone else, because her acting was almost abhorrent as Parker Poseys.The only thing that kept the movie going was an /ok/ chemistry betweenPaul Levesque and Michael Rapaport - While Michael Rapaport might beannoying to some, he played the role and despite them being seeminglyvery different to old friends. And when Michael Rapaport died, you haveto grin and bare tedious scenes between Paul Levesque and Claire /Martha / Irena.Paul Levesque - Not bad Michael Rapaport - Not bad Bruce Dern - OK /Not badSo for a Sunday afternoon watch, where there is nothing else on, thengive it a go. But don't go out of your way to watch this and don'texpect to much and you may not want to follow Jacks lead and blow yourbrains out.Inside out for me was ruined by a boring script, and a poor cast whichmade the whole thing Ennui.5/10

you know what? not that bad. not bad at all

I saw the movie without reading the reviews, and I must tell you- Ifound my self interested. no big surprises in the story line, but itwas good story, one you can follow with some interest. the acting,surprisingly, was more than reasonable, even if our hero was awrestler. good thing, the story line is not based on that fact. theaction is moderate but still is there. sometimes you get actualviolence, sometime it is implied, but things work well. I don't agreewith the other reviews, blasting so hard against this movie. it is nota waste of your time- but to the contrary. Wouldn't leave everythingI'm doing for this piece, but once you got some free time, watching itis a good way to spend about 90 minutes. You can watch it and enjoy.
