      Audience Member Utter tripe. This is the story of useless people gambling their families and livelihoods on pointless novelty inventions designed purely to bilk the public. The characters begin as irresponsible gambling addicts, and they end as irresponsible gambling addicts who happened to bet on a winning hand. They achieved nothing meaningful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Adequate but would have benefited from a strong personality in the lead than Roberts. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Tositapahtumiin perustuva elokuva kaveruksista jotka keksivät puhuvan pullonavaajan (kaikkea sitä onkin, en oo kyllä koskaan kuullutkaan moisesta...) ;) (Suom. Ingenious - neronleimauksia) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member In my opinion this was a terrific movie, in part due to the strength of the actors in it. It had a really great storyline, believable characters, great dialogue and many touching moments. Certainly a film I'd watch again to relive the mood, watch the characters deal with adversity and listen for the memorable lines! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member J'ai bien aimé. C'est un bon film léger. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Just purchased this at walmart for $13. I really enjoyed the story. Basically a underdog story where two friends make it big and maintain their friendship. Nice to see Jeremy Renner in a movie where he is funny and not an action hero.

      Lael Loewenstein Variety A terrific little yarn about pluck, perseverance and friendship overcoming the odds, Lightbulb is exactly what's needed in these troubled times. Mar 19, 2009 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson "Ingenious" offers a funny and entertaining slice-of-life story that leaves out the melodrama and fills its story, and us the audience, with engaging inspiration and spirit. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Cute enough. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 16, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
