Meet Bill

i like watching early 2000s movies bc they are weirdly awkward and funny and this was just that. weird storyline but inspiring nonetheless. a little creepy the relationship between the kid and lucy but i know back then no one saw any issues with that stuff.

When I first watched Meet Bill, I had my reservations about the film, because I had never heard of it through friends, family, advertising, etc.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the movie through, and have now seen it several times because I liked it so much.Aaron Eckhart plays, basically, a very accurate depiction of a disgruntled male: his marriage is going down the tubes, he hates his job, has no idea how to have fun, and has no idea where he wants to be in life, yet knows he wants something more, something better. Throughout the movie, we learn about the tough situations in his life and how he deals with them (i.e. cheating wife, in-laws that only care about themselves), and feel badly for him, because his life just sucks.Then, our main character undergoes a sort of personality transformation: he stands up for himself, finally, and acts out against the man that his wife is cheating with, gets himself involved in a program to assist high school students with banking and during this, meets an outgoing student that helps him come out of his shell and learn how to have fun and not take any trash from anybody. Along the way, Eckhart continuously does a great job of acting the role of a nice guy that realizes it is time he put himself first, for the first time in his life, and go out to get what makes him happy. Plenty of drama and chaos ensues, all of which is very realistic and does not ever feel overblown or too coincidental to actually happen to a real person.The supporting cast includes Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Alba, both of whom perform well for the roles they were given. I have to say that this movie has quickly made its way into my Top 10, and this movie is definitely worth the money.

Don't even bother. It's very disturbing and Jessica Alba is flirting (and in a cut scene it's implied has sex) with an underage kid. If you are a pedo, you will love it. Loser man chasing his whore wife and then in the end all he was working for he just walks away from to go be a bigger loser. Might be the worst movie I've ever seen. The last scene is just the final turd on the crap layer cake that is this film. No idea how it was green lit to even be made. I guess they thought adding 2000's background movie music makes it seem like a regular film to the normies, yet it's just shoveling the dung in your face every scene if u have any brain left in your head to see that. If there was no soundtrack it would be a creep fest with pathetic losers no one should have any interest in watching. I only finished it to see JUST HOW BAD it would get or if it was going to try to redeem itself. I was correct on the former, but not on the latter whatsoever. I would imagine these actresses had to be paid handsomely to be portrayed as the vile tramps they are here. But hey simps, they're pretty right, so it's ok.... *gags* The leading man wasn't even the problem compared to them. Disgraceful waste and all that is wrong with our country, culture and hollyweird. GROSS. Don't believe me? Just watch it for yourself with a barf bag. I'd give 0 stars if I could!

Great fun. Light hearted love story where the underdog comes out on top

I don't normally write movie reviews but the other reviews seem to be so off the mark that I feel I need to.The basic story is that Bill is a guy living off his father-in-law's largess and is going nowhere. Aaron Eckhart plays him as a real slob and is generally an unappealing character throughout the film.The two most interesting actors in the film and who make this film worth watching are Logan Lerman (as The Kid), a 14 year old student who is mentoring with Bill but who reverses the mentorship and basically shows Bill how have to fun again. Lerman plays the part exceedingly well, is tremendously believable and is consistently funny and a joy to watch. (For some reason, Lerman gets almost no billing in spite of the fact that he has the second largest part in the movie after Bill.) The other interesting actor is Jessica Alba who is simply beautiful and whose scenes with Lerman are a delight.Logan Lerman is clearly an actor to watch and I strongly suspect he's the next Shia LeBeouf. I just hope he doesn't get dragged into those action thrillers that require very little acting as have many of our good actors (like Shia).

Had some pretty creepy moments involving an underage kid. The plot was a bit of a roller coaster, making you wonder if he really wants his wife back, or to buy a doughnut shop. Not sure if this was for adults, because it seemed like the kid he was supposed to be mentoring was calling all the shots. I tried to give it 3 stars, but it was just too silly and not funny.

arived great

Aaron is great, and damn Jessica is beautiful. The movie was very funny and entertaining with a light hearted tone the whole time :)

I don't know why, but when I first saw the movie-cover, I knew I had to own it, so I ordered it. I am so happy for that, because it turned out to be a great movie with just the message I needed:DSo I can definitely recommend it to anyone, a really funny movie, which really shows there is a lesson to learn:DReally hope you could use this.Enjoy!

I never got to watch this movie here in the UK or Germany, but I ve seen so many little clips on Youtube that those made me curious.It was worth it!Its an amazing comedy with a great leading cast like Logan Lerman ( Percy Jackson and the Olympians ) and Aaron Eckhard.With some hilarious and deep meaning scenes, NOT just a laugh-out-loud comedy also something to think about.I love it!

Brought to watch at home with the gf turns out can't be played in England but she could watch it on her laptop so result not money wasted and a real good film

Very pleased with item and services

Bill is married to beautiful Elizabeth Banks, who is cheating. Bill is mentoring a kid who tries to get the couple back together again, and is hot for another young woman. So, it's a coming of age film. Nothing new here. In the end, Bill gets his revenge by walking away from Elizabeth rather than reconciling. Thus, marriage is not a good thing - another Hollywood staple. Ho hum.
