Reviews

We're in an age where everything has to be politicized. In the series the terrorists are just misunderstood family men who have been victims of injustice. Americans are sex crazed immorals without any honor. Syrian refugees are 80% women and children.

Basically all the facts are turned on their head, just the way the left likes it. If you want to watch something with sex and violence that completely distorts reality and includes every imaginable liberal trope, than this series is for you.

Tom Clancy would not approve.

Major spoilers below. This is a great movie if you like a mellow thoughtful drama.

Spoilers beyond this point.

This is what I thought about the movie: William was a damaged person who could never relate to women. Women found him attractive, but all he did through his whole life was have sex with them and throw them away.

When he was in Copenhagen he really needed Effy's help and he wanted to sleep with her badly, but when he found out she was 14 the fear of getting in trouble kept him from doing it, but then something else happened. Since the legality slowed him down he really had to get to know her and he really did love her deeply and not just as a girlfriend, he loved her as a person. She was his friend and girlfriend though unconsummated.

When they were in the hotel and she wanted to have sex with him he wanted to very badly, but I think at this point it was no the law that stopped him. What stopped him was that he really cared for her and he knew she was too young and it would be bad for her so he stopped himself.

I would guess Effy's motivations were that she never really had a father so she was attracted to older men. Like is hinted at in the movie in the beginning, 'she needed someone to lean on.' William was a poor choice but as I said above her age and the law slowed him down enough so that he became that better person that she could lean on.

Perhaps in some ways it seemed erratic at the time, but I think this came to a head when he punched her mother's boyfriend. she wasn't going to let anyone hurt her no matter what the consequences.

Effy taught him a lot too, she helped him live and grow and you see this in the final scene when he observes the two seas she was talking about.

I have to say that now that this is on Netflix it is quite likely that this will reach a wide, wide audience and that Frederikke is going to be a huge star. She has the looks, the voice, beautiful accent, and the screen presence to be a major, major actress. She can do anything she wants after this movie. I believe this is her "Winter's Bone." Other than Frederikke the whole cast and the entire movie is just wonderful. watching it for the second time right now.

For those that say this is about a man taking advantage of a 14 year old girl....that is the last thing it is. It is about this girl helping this man to not just become a man, but to become a good man and she succeeds, even if it was not her intention.

I'm giving this 9 out of 10 stars.

As of this date, you can watch "sticky change" on Netflix. I can't believe this is the first review for this show. This guy is really funny. I have to say I have a lot more respect for people who can laugh at themselves, and Josh can do that. I was also born different and I can't stand people who are so uptight about everything.

Spoilers below: If you read what I will write below, I'll tell you a bit more about his background from what I learned about this guy, but reading this will also give away some of the jokes that are in this comedy stand- up routine.

Josh was born in Cameroon Africa and grew up in St. Paul. (hey I live in Eagan). He lives in Denver. He played on the U.S. paralympic soccer team (he has Cerebral palsy). He does a lot of performances for the troops. I have also seen that he has done performance at conferences for the disabled.

So that is short background about the guy. "Sticky Change" is really funny. Josh makes fun of himself and tells great stories about his wife and kids. Second spoiler warning: When he said "you're only half way out of the box!" I nearly had an aneurysm. (funniest part of the show for me).

Full disclosure: Don't know Josh at all, but I could not believe there was no review here and wanted to write one. Josh, thanks for the great comedy routine. I probably watched it 5 times already on Netflix.

I was really looking forward to watching some decent sci-fi and when I was this was on at the local regal cinemas I decided to check it out. Jumped on IMDb quick and was shocked to see it had a 9.3 rating at that time...maybe it was a mistake to look at the rating, it may have pushed my expectations too high.

I was expecting something "over the top" good, and it just wasn't. The movie could have used more technology and more serious thinking and dialog. The revelation at the end I saw coming probably in the first 30 minutes of this nearly 3 hour movie.

There are some good and exciting moments, and there are definitely scenes that have the cool factor, but it is not a 9.0+ movie. I give it a solid 7. It seems a lot of people enjoyed the movie a lot more than me and that is great, but this is my opinion of it.
