Day 184 of the challenge! Was really looking forward to Please Stand By, and it was as geeky and feel good as I hoped for!
Liked:
Dakota Fanning is amazing in this. She completely owns this movie and role. I wonder why she doesn't show up more often?
A bit on the predictable side of things plot wise, but I'm a sucker for coming of age indies as I've said often. Can't help but love feel good dramedies!
Please Stand By does a great job illustrating why a lot of people go to science fiction or "other" genre properties to find solace and acceptance. Bonus points for also showing the genre's appeal for people with disabilities or mental issues.
Love the quasi-meta joke of casting Alice Eve is a Star Trek centric movie.
Toni Collette and Patton Oswalt. Need I say more?
The dog.
Didn't like:
- The film is a bit wonky at times with it's structure and pacing in the 2nd act. There are a few important moments that don't get any resolution by the time the movie ends.
