Hopefully someday we'll look at Taking Chances as just a flash of a very specific time in our nation's history and we'll be able to laugh at more than just the elements that make it a really solid comedy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

steve d 06/21/2020 I really like this cast but the story is deeply uninteresting. The entire film is really cheap. See more 02/02/2014 Watched most of this after picking up a copy for $2. Wish I had listened to the reviews! What a dull movie. Very uninteresting storyline, light on the romance. I think this is meant to be political. Big yawn. Getting redonated tomorrow! See more 02/28/2013 The sense of humor in this film is one of a kind. It's understandable that it has low ratings, probably due to viewers with a lack of an obscure taste in humor. Justin Long portrays a hilariously remarkable American Revolution obsessed character that could not have been played better by anybody else. See more 05/29/2012 this movies is on now and it suckss!!!! See more 02/05/2012 I diidn't quite understand the role of Emmanuelle. The whole movie was BORRRINGGG !!! See more 11/15/2011 Was expecting a silly cutesy romantic comedy but it turned out to be a very mature indie drama... Good one! See more Read all reviews
