    A very enjoyable and utterly wonderful comedy. An intelligent, well-written and superbly performed film. Smart, witty, outstanding, engagging and hilarious. An excellent, touching and remarkable movie. A teriffic balance between comedy and drama. Every performance is pitch perfec...( read more)t. Dennis Quaid has never been better, a magnificent and great performance. Ellen Page is fantastic once again, winning our hearts with her charm, rebellious attitude and teriffic charisma. Thomas Haden Church is brilliant, his flair for comedy dazzels once again and you cant help but love him in this movie. Sarah Jessica Parker confirms herself as a movie star. These four actors work incrediably well together on the screen bringing lots of love and life to the characters.

    thomas haden church's performance is all thats needed for this film to be recommended, but it also has a charm to it and it was very interesting. it also suffered unfortunately by incredibly underdeveloped sub plots and a rather cold ending. overall, good flick.

    I find it quite conspicuous the way this film is most certainly not called Nice People. I don't really know how smart you can call a person who uses thier intellect primarily to belittle and alienate other people. These people are smart in the same way Calvin from the comics is s...( read more)mart: he will be able to explain the theory of gravitation in detail, then how he dropped a pitcher of lemonade while rollerscating. From such smarts, such stupidity. Like habitually parking illegally and acting surprised when it's towed. Only valuing one's son when a peom of his is published. I especially liked how the main character's book is only published because its condescending tone is considered a novelty. I found the frostiness with which Ellen Page greeted Sarah Jessica Parker really interesting, as it betrays her sadness about losing her mother. She keeps maintaining that her father isn't ready to date, which is a smart-person euphemism for SHE'S not ready for her father to date. As comedies go there are ones that are way funnier than this, but it rings true and therein lies its merit.

    If I had known Sarah Jessica Parker was in it, I would have snapped the disc in half and used it to cut my wrists.

    I thought this was a really great look at destructive personalities. While the characters might be funny on the screen, they are very realistic and sad. How someone can go through there life acting like they're better than everyone else is horrible. Ellen Page was priceless at be...( read more)ing a young republican and ordering everyone around. Dennis Quaid also gave one of the best performances i've seen from him in a long time.

    This movie combines the cuteness of Little Miss Sunshine with the wit of Juno and the humor of both. Ellen Page...( read more) essentially plays the same precocious character as she does in Juno, but she's more realistically flawed and likeable in Smart People, and the incredible aspects of her character seem to matter less here. This movie could easily do without some of the subplots (the political flyering) and coincidences (Sarah Jessica Parker just happens to see Dennis Quaid twice in the same evening after his follow-up medical exam), but is redeemed by some good comedy relief provided throughout the film by adopted brother Thomas Haden Church. All-in-all a cute entertaining film if you're in the right mood for it.

    A differenza del resto del mondo, mi è piaciuto parecchio.
    Cuori per Ellen Page.
