Chris Stuckmann reviews Collateral Beauty, starring Will Smith, Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Michael Peña, Naomie Harris, Jacob Latimore, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren. Directed by David Frankel. - Розваги
Are you kidding me Chris?!? This is the greatest plot of all time!
For an Adam Sandler movie.
Lance Clearman there's no weed tho
Apethantos BBOOOOBBEEBBIDOOOOOOO!! WAAAABALLAA!!
I think we could do better than Adam Sandler. He would ruin the mean spirited complexity. I think the characters just need better motivation. The core idea is actually interesting.
The funny thing is....... the writer of this also wrote 'Just go with it' with Adam Sandler...........
Why the fuck am i trying to get a career in film?
XDDDDD this is the worst plot of a movie that I heard of in years
Szkotu Szkocki when he told us this plot I was like .........

Mission Impossible presents a Christmas Carol by M Knight Shamealongadingdong.
the fact that almost every toy behind is bigger than hulk bothers me massively
No joke same here! Very distracting :D
Me too. Hulk looks puny compared to them
lollllllllll😂
უწმინდური მამაო ღორმენ 😂😂😂
the fact that action figures are called toys here bothers me :)))
This film is that metaphorical friend who pretends to listen to all your problems, and then hugs you goodbye, but also tries to reach into your pocket and grab your wallet without you noticing.
damn true :/
U have some shitty Friends man
*Hearing the ACTUAL Plot to 'Collateral Beauty* : .........What...The....Serious.... FUCK!!!?!? -.-
TracyJAlbarn same, and was never going to see it anyway, but jeezus
I guess I was the only one that actually had high hopes for this movie to be heartfelt. Tbh I still don't think the concept is bad, I mean, the trailer does tell that he's actually going nuts because the loss of his daughter, so it would make sense that he would believe something that doesn't make sense. But I think the movie could've been executed better. I think I almost shed a tear when the trailer played in theatres, or Im just a giant pussy :/
TracyJAlbarn Would have been a cool plot twist if handled correctly.
Spoiler: his friends are really agents of hydra
Clark Parker HAIL HYDRA
Clark Parker
*hail hydra
What
nerd.
Agent of SHIELD lol
My jaw fucking dropped when he told was the actual plot was.
Craig James Review You didn't understand the movie at all. Chris got it all wrong about the actual plot. It's like everyone didn't see the ending.
TheEpicCastBen I know this is proof they didn't sit through the while movie or paid attention of u paid attention death love n time were there for him as we'll as the others Chris your movie taste is pretty bad now that I think about it
Yes, there was a twist in this movie but that still doesn't change the fact that Smith's friends were making an incredibly harsh/manipulative plan that the movie TRIES to paint as normal. And failed horribly.
I know this movie was well-intentioned, but it's sugar-sweety and dripping with sap to give the audience the audience the tears. Sentiment could work, but this one didn't.
wrong at the end they show tht they are really death, time, and love
Did you even watch the whole movie😂f****** idiot. Don't do a review if you don't watch the whole movie
The trailer looked like "How to fail at Oscar-Bait!"
Will Smith has made quite a few bad choices in his career... but how the fuck did they convince Ed Norton into this garbage fire?
lol Ed hasn't done anything noteworthy in a very long time. Dude needed work.
because when he saw will smith was on it
money probably
Mr Peaches Latour
No but he is known for being very picky.
+IXM360 the illusionist is another fantastic movie he starred in
This could've actually been a great dark comedy.
sifat shams Exactly. I can't believe this was made as a drama.
i agree with this
sifat shams too bad the Coen Brothers didn't make this.
sifat shams yeah, the movie's plot sounds like a comedy plot. just replace "friends" with Rivals and add some jokes to the script and you got a good drama-dy
I like the way you think.
I respect everyone's opinion and views of the movie. I personally loved the movie and thought the plot was beautiful.
Me too, the direction, acting and visuals, along with the story. It's one of my favorites
The Ending actually show that those suppose "Actors" are actually spirits of Death Time Love.
the bro who made this review is just a stupid guy who didn't get it,
in the movie Howard friends were actually seeing the things they were struggling with, and every one had conversations with the only thing he struggled with (time or death or love), even Haword (will smith) said that in the meeting scene, he said that they all had mental condition, but again this reviewer guy was stupid enough to miss all of that.
@@abdelhalimboussaa9438 I don’t know what’s more pathetic: you getting mad at this old ass review by replying to another person’s comment rather than writing your own toward the reviewer (Chris Stuckmann) or you “explaining” some plot details as if it’s supposed to change the fact this movie was extremely flawed in terms of dialogue, characters, plot, and more. I’m gonna go with both.
@@HooskMastaJProductions It is upsetting that the reviewer completely misunderstood the movie, and as a result decides to bash it, and it’s highly unlikely that he’ll reply to an old video he did years ago. In regards to the movie, you must be one of those people that takes everything literally. I will admit some dialogue was a bit dry, but there was also lines that made you felt what was being said. Try imagining yourself as a character in a movie instead of just a spectator, you’ll love movies and appreciate their art a lot more.
@@mylestee5769 If I had a penny for every time someone in the comments claimed that the reviewer (Chris Stuckmann) "misunderstood" this movie, despite watching it himself and having way more knowledge about films than most of y'all here, then I would be rich as hell right now.
First and foremost, I couldn't care less if you thought this review was upsetting. No one put a gun to your head and told you to watch it, much less defend some idiot who got mad at said review.
Second, you'd have to be the dumbest person on the planet to even assume I "take everything literally" when that has NOTHING to do with my original reply to the guy above us. To reiterate, I said what I said to him because he got MAD at an old ass review when he could've just ignored it and left it at that.
Third, you clearly don't know the difference between dry and terrible dialogue b/c if you did, then you would've known and understood that this movie had plenty of the latter. I've seen indie films with better characters, dialogue, and storytelling than this garbage ass movie and that's not even a joke.
Finally, why the hell would I EVER wanna imagine myself as a character in this movie? None of them are relatable. None of them resonate with me. As a matter of fact, I've written better characters for unproduced webisode and short film scripts than what these "professional" Hollywood writers did for this movie and I only went to college for 2 years and 8 months to learn how to do it.
In conclusion, you can sit there and cry about me not liking this movie or me going off on some chump who had no business getting upset over a review he didn't agree with but, at the end of the day, that's all you or anyone else can do. You won't change my mind about this movie and you sure as hell won't change the reviewer's mind either. It's as simple as that.
@@HooskMastaJProductions If your short story of a response isn’t an indicator of how seriously you take things, than you’re just delusional. I’m not going to address every point in your rant, just a few. It’s not hard to relate to characters in the story, because they’re either parents, or aspiring to be. That’s relatable to over 100 million people in America alone. Unless you’re a toy collecting, basement video game playing, bros over hoes type a guy then maybe it’s not your genre. That still doesn’t make it cool to bash a good movie, just because you can’t relate, or the bigger picture eludes you. That’s like saying that you didn’t like the Avengers because it’s unrealistic. And get your head out of the reviewers ass bro, you’re wearing it like a hat.
So I guess we're some kind of......

Mission Impossible presents a Christmas Carol by M Knight Shamealongadingdong.
I took it as Death, Love and Time, playing actors. Did you notice each one teamed up with the ones that needed them the most. Michael Pena is dying and Helen Mirren is Death. Kate Winslet's problem is time. and Edward Norton has issues with Love.
I hear people talk about this “actual plot” alot but at the end of the movie it turns out that the “actors” are really love, death and time. At the end of the movie they disappear on the bridge. Proving they were death, time and love. And they also helped each of the other 3 characters...
When I watch the trailer I thought "wow, that's a great idea" but no. We were fucking lied to.
Shawn Shackelford agree the friends are just nasty
actually i disagree. It's a good bait and switch. you're just listening to it delivered by one person who didn't like it. pretend you watched it as it unfolded, it's sort of dark that they'd be cruel to this man. But plenty of plot twist are based on cruelty to people.
And yes you can remove someone from iphone footage. they shoot in 4k video with clarity that rivals video from some dslrs.
the trailer din't lie, they are spirit, it a metaphor.
fourth1000 bait and switch is NOT good. I PAY for a product I want. it's not cool to give me something else.
AnHeC its not a bait and switch. youve just been given hAlf the plot.
That's one of your best thumbnail pics yet, Stuckmann.
Nighttray It's his version of the shocked Batman meme.
IKR It was following me (suggested) on every video I watched and I had to click on it.
Oh man I thought this movie was about magical stuff, is jut about horrible friends
No it's not. It is about magical stuff. Hope you watched it since a year has passed now
@@derHermann nah. This movie is about horrible friends hiring a bunch of actors to manipulate a grief-stricken Will Smith in believing that he's crazy and mentally unwell for work and then two of the most illogical and vaguely-hinted twists ever happen at the end of the movie like they were just there to piss people off.
Justin RC16 lmao! I was in shock watching this.
It is about both
@@justinrc1692 It definetly isn't just about bad friends, watch the movie again and don't listen to this review.
I loved this film and it made me cry at the end, I loved the ending where you see the actors ARE the actual characters they are playing. You think they are actors playing characters throughout the whole film but then you see that Love Time and Death are pretending to be actors portraying themselves. I can not wait to watch this a second time.
Right on that is what the movie is really about nailed it
I love how you speak your mind and I agree, great movie and amazing acting. Don't agree with most of his points but that's my thoughts.
It was good. The acting was top notch, the storyline made perfect sense to me, and it touched me on a personal level. I thought the way they incorporated love, death and time into the plot was along the lines of 'A Christmas Carol'... Minus the dream part, so it had even a better connection to reality. Chris and his audience are bouncing up and down waiting for the next Iron Man. This film was beyond them, emotionally AND creatively.
This film was spectacular, and I cried. In a world of so many blockbuster movies, a truly original film was delivered that is not getting the praise it deserves. Truly breathtaking. The fact that not only do these entities speak to Will Smith’s character, but they also one-off have time with his friends struggling through their issues is utterly brilliant. I loved every second.
@@caedengoering I just finished watching this movie, and thought it was a brilliant film, especially with the twist at the end.
I honestly do not understand what all the hate is about, especially coming from cyber-critics begging people to “like” them! 🙄
Your face on the thumbnail is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
ur profile pic is the prettiest thing i've ever seen
Anakarina His best thumbnail of all time is a review for The Lucky One
nirvan ganapathy Agree
Poe Moe agreed
Anakarina if you think that...check out the Manchester by the sea thumbnail. ...
oh you're fucking kidding me.....the trailer looked so cool!
Zubair Rehman IKR Im like damn i actually want to see this movie but then Chris tells me this and I'm WTF
Batman Aka Alex I know dude, from seeing the trailer i was like "ooo so its like a christmas carol but with a twist...I like it" after watching Chris I am now like "So four idiots hire three idiots to pretend to be other things to trick sad guy in to looking insane....i don't like that"
Zubair Rehman yeah especially the tricking someone into looking insane
it looked like a complete cliche how did it look cool?
starkingbiker it looked good to me but now i am like "oh come on!"
So what are we, some kind of...Collateral Beauty?
perfect
Im gonna use this with every movie with Will Smith. Love it LOVE IT!
Benjamin Abramowitz Great job repeating the top comment!
nice
Anthony so what are we some kind of... Gemini Men
That plot could almost work... but sounds like they boggled it
luckyDancer100
I was thinking that too. It sounds like a suspense thriller except this isn't that at all. And how can anyone think that would work in any way? Plus seriously if he is failing at his job in the company due to grief that's all they needed to go to the board and have him replaced. There's absolutely no need for all that Mission Impossible nonsense.
Plus seriously if the MASSIVE BUDGET AND TECHNOLOGY that Disney had available for Star Wars Rogue One was only able to give us playdough Princes LeyYa And Tarkin what idiot would even think of doing what they wanted to do?
If I ever be a movie director, I would want to remake this movie to make it not stupid.
You might want to fix your grammar first.
Magical Critic good luck. if you succeed dont forget me the random asian wishing good luck to you
Magical Critic Take the plot from the trailer and make it that, because honestly the plot in this film was horribly despicable.
I am shocked Edward Norton and Will Smith are in a movie together
Why?
2 of the most notorious actors that take creative control of productions they are in.
Absolutely true. It might explain why it seems to suck
AZED focus was pretty good. And I like suicide squad. And I am legend was good
Anthonyg Gordon he was great in ss but the movie más mediocre
After suffering through a mental breakdown myself, this film actually really resonated with me despite its flaws. I deeply identified with Will Smith's character and lunacy & his friends' inability to understand how to deal with it, however, misguided their actions and intentions may be.
i just fucking love this movie, and i think its not an all public movie, but if you had have a moment in your life when you was broken,you will reflect that in the main caracter and it pain
I started crying somewhere around the beginning, and the tears didn't completely stop till the end. Also, the music by One Republic was really good.
Holy shit, that plot is worth from some Infinite Reality Television movie, from Rick and Morty
Making a movie about self reflection and the journey inward to cope with lost? NAHHHHHHHH let's just make it about 3 workers who try to get their boss fired for looking crazy.
Brianna Kubiwood yeah even if it was them hiring actors and it exploring some therapy thing that helps him, it would've been better than this really nasty idea of having him be considered crazy
Skyebright1
Yup, they could have kept the twist... just you know, also keep the plot that was shown in the trailers as well.
ikr that's pretty fucked up
Sasu123456789x1
and also stupid. Did they even need to do all that if he was doing poor business? They easily could have gone to the board with a report on his performance alone.
Did you actually watch the movie? The trailer is EXACTLY showing what is happening in the movie. Watch the fucking movie before you jugde it, befoon
As soon as you started explaining the plot I was dying of laughter. Un. Real.

torreto vernado fuck your pirated spamming shit
He actually messed up this review. They disguised themselves as actors but we're actually the embodiment of death, love, and life. I can't believe Chris messed this one up. Heck even I knew they weren't actually actors
@@DavidHernandez-hy6tv i know its embaressing
@@dubai_fitness very embarrassing
At the very end it's actually proven that they are in fact death, time and love. They disapeared from the bridge.. At least that's what I took from it. Kinda liked that movie.. it was interesting.
I actually liked the film
Me too. I never saw trailer.
It definitely had issues, there's no denying that, but I still liked it a lot.
Marcel Estengre same
You are entitled to your opinion. thank you for sharing it.
It is one of my all time favourite movies
This movie should've been called Horrible Friends and they could've made it a comedy!
supbrotv agree if they ran with the idea of Will Smith being surrounded by sociopaths trying to harm him as a comedy that would've been better than this idea being taken seriously
I think that was the original idea. To make a dark comedy about cheating friends.
Wow. That whole thing with the plot is so scummy...
Andy Johnson agree I saw them being actors but the 'friends' trying to get him fired is just nasty
They are not friends, they are assholes
I saw the actors part from a mile away. It was the "friends" wanting to make him look crazy and fire him that shocked me.
yea I would believe if it was the friend hiring actors to represent love ,death and time it would be to help him move on not to make him crazy to get him out of the way
Exactly! I thought they'd show him the altered footage to make him think that they were really 'spirits' or something.
they could've just sent emails to the corporate heads. that's some nasty and way over board manipulation.
He was the corporate head tho
Yes, it was confusing in the beggining when theese things happened and you didn't expect them, but further in the movie you can see the beautyl! People, form your own oppinion. Watch the movie. The trailer is not that dishonest if you think about it.
Winder Hope precisely
If it’s not dishonest then it just spoiled the ending
Honestly had my jaw on the floor at that plot explanation...
hes wrong, hes dumb. they werent real
@@dubai_fitness I don't even remember this comment.
@@Raycevick well such an amazing film got poor critic reviews because all these critics didnt get it and ran their mouth so quickly
@I drink your milkshake they clearly didnt get it
@I drink your milkshake i said reviewers didnt get it. Which is clearly obv when u watch their reviews. It was even a thinf that most reviewers bashed it but didnt even get the plot
The search for the worst: Collateral Beauty
Raid Messiah I see what u did there
Someone get IHE over here
I need it.
I love Will Smith's deep movies... personally, i think he's the best actor right now and this movie and the pursuit of happiness are my favorite movies ever
This didnt age well 😂
Love, Time and Death are real in this movie, just so you know. It shows so at the end.
LOOOOOLL youre so dumb, they werent real
@@dubai_fitness What were they then?
@@signalhd9793 they weren't real. Love death and time all came to will as he needed all 3. And they went to one of each of them because thats what they needed.
At the end thats why they vanish. And thats why only will can see them at the end with his wife...
Also thats why they reveal death came to his wife when her daughter was dying
@@dubai_fitness So they were real to them?
@@signalhd9793 no they werent. They were imagining it
He had Concussion and now Collateral Damage, that's some kinda Suicide
Feak *collateral beauty
Feak His choices lately sure have been bad, boy!
well compared to the shit here, he killed it in Suicide Squad
He wasn't wrong calling it Collateral Damage, if you get what he is trying to imply.
Flabby You're the only one here that gets it
This is a pleasant surprise since this movie seems like such a sickeningly pathetic Oscar plea for Will Smith.
Feline Fatale ?
Stuckmann explained it in this vid.
Feline Fatale lol I told my wife that when we saw the preview at the movies.
Ok, am I the only one missing something here? This dude apparently doesn't get the movie. The three actors they got to protre death, love and time weren't real people they where actually love, death and time in itself. Which puts the whole move together at the end. I thought it was an excellent movie, a little slow but pretty damn good.
He gets the movie. It's just he found it to be poorly executed. (And I agree with him tbh.)
He is telling us the premise the movie presents to us, not the twist. That would be like presenting the sixth sense as being about a ghost trying to make up for the regrets he died with
Rhank you courtney i was litteraly screaming this at my screen haha
That's not the point. Whether or not they actually happen to be love, death, and time itself, the movie is still manipulating you into supporting 3 people who are essentially trying to make their friend look crazy for completely selfish reasons. That is a huge no no! Don't EVER make your main characters unlikeable unless they're supposed to learn something in the end, like Scrooge. But the problem is this movie supports what the main characters are doing, even though it's clearly despicable. They have no idea death, time, and love are real. They're still just actors to them. And, on top of that, they're being really cruel! If their business is dying, then they should've either got him some help or explained the situation and asked him if they could sell his percentage of the business. But making him look like he belongs in a mental asylum is low, no matter what the reason!
Yes! That was the best part of the movie. I had tears.
They arents actually actors, the twist is that they are real as you see in the ending,love time and death also individually help the three friends
Can Will Smith pick his roles more carefully? or does he not even care?
Ndima Silwana the latter
Ndima Silwana why would he care? It's not like this movie will make him lose roles
Nicolas Villegas True. But his credibility is questionable.
Ndima Silwana After Earth, there is a big change in Will's acting and the scripts he has been given. I'm just saying, Scientology and these Hollywood movies are closely linked.
Ndima Silwana He is a guy who has a track record of blockbuster movies that do crazily well at the box office. He's never had to care before. logical criticism didn't effect movies back then the way they do now, so actors like Will find themselves in messes like this.
"Dont forget, we're the Collateral Beauty"- Deadshot
dont be fooled by this review, when I watched this review for the first time I thought wow this is the worst movie of 2016 probably, then I went to cinema to watch it and at the end this movie left me speechless, I mean this is maybe one of the best movies of 2016, at the beginning I thought Chris was right but he wasnt, he either didnt watch the entire movie or he didnt realize it, but all can I say that this movie is worth your time. peace
I agree with you! Phenomenal movie in my opinion. I got what I “needed” out of it!
Exactly, its not until the ending that you get to see what's really going on. And while it is cheesy as hell, it is a really great movie. Will Smith has a way of doing that with movies. I would hold this movie up in comparison to Seven Pounds and the raw emotion shown in that movie. And it definitely helped in a rough spot.
Facts
Agree 100% I’ve just watch this movie after not bothering years ago, and wow what a incredibly great movie! I think it hits people more who understand/have been through or know people with mental health problems! This review is wrong! Very wrong, one of will smiths best performances
This movie was amazing in my opinion. It actually made me think, made me feel and it will forever be one of my top 3 favorite movies
Me too. Chris ignored so much of the plot, detailand emotion to make it seem bad to the point of leaving out the final twists. He should be ashamed this movie is close to perfection.
when ever i need a tear jerker i always put this movie on
@I drink your milkshake final twists were awful? Doesn’t seem like you understand the movie. If it was so awful then why is it rated so high?
The trailers made this movie out to be a modern Christmas Carol, but no. I wish we just got the movie portrayed in the trailers because that movie could've been a masterpiece. What a wasted opportunity.
Menacing Threat yep
Menacing Threat yep
Menacing Threat the trailers were absolute trash
...well, the movie did deliver.
well that's disappointing, I thought this was going to be really good
Geoffrey Taylor Yeah, the trailers aren't too terrible. It had potential.
Daniel Mashanic TBH the reason why I wanted to watch the movie is because I loved the trailer music(Remember Me-Thomas Bergersen) and Keira Knightley. I guess I'm taking this movie off my watchlist then lol
Geoffrey Taylor I thought it'd be a decent modern Christmas Carol kind of movie.
Geoffrey Taylor just you dude.
how couldv'e thought this was gonna be any good lol this is pretentious garbage from shallow hollywood..and its a new age brain washing
Lights Camera Jackson gave this a B, a better score than he gave to Arrival, Rogue One, The Red Turtle, Moana, Doctor Strange, Loving, Deepwater Horizon, Hell or High Water, The Nice Guys, Midnight Special, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Deapool and The Hateful Eight from this year alone. If I was a professional critic I'd be ashamed that he is as well.
Joshua Price That's bloody rediculous
Joshua Price Chris is the one who should be ashamed. He got the movie all wrong. It's like he left early from the movie. Sucks that everyone is not watching because a guy didn't understand the movie.
TheEpicCastBen I'm not really trying to be ironic or sound challenging,I'm just out of time and don't really feel like watching this movie. So would you mind telling what he got wrong,why he should be ashamed and why that Jackson guy shouldn't be;I mean,those are really great movies.
The maker of this video has definitely got the movie all wrong. Will Smith plays a grieving father who is trying to overcome the death of his daughter. He writes letters to death, love and time. These letters are meant to be for the characters of Micheal Pena, Edward Norton and Kate Winslet respectively. All of the characters are going through something similar SPOLIERS*** Micheal Pena is dying, Edward Norton is having trouble with love (physically) and his unconditional love for his daughter and Kate Winslet is running out of time because she is aging (in the movie) with no family/kids. The movie uses the cash out as a base plot line to reveal more as you find out the actors they hired to play death, time, and love aren't even real people. Please do not watch this youtuber for movie reviews.
My spoilers are to contradict the reviewer's spoilers. This reviewer Chris, did not watch the movie or at least the whole movie or is just trying to spread hate for the movie. He has said that Death, Time and Love were actors, hired by the friends of the Will Smith character. Yes, that's sort of the truth. Death, Time and Love were acting as actors, but in reality, were the real Death, Time and Love. Anyone watching the movie and paying attention, would have realized that.
Death, Time and Love, not only played their part for Will Smith but also guided his friends to self awareness of their life issues. I greatly enjoyed the movie. By the way, there was a second great twist to the movie near the end.
Just to add, the Cinemascore, a score from real people who have seen the movie, is an A-.
George
That certainly doesn't change how deplorable and disgusting the actions of Will Smith's friends were. The movie treats their actions as reasonable and necessary.
George I don't people got the why of certain things that happens in the film, I enjoyed the intricacies of it and the emotional journey not only for Will Smith's character but his friends as well and although the acting was great, yes it was great, I have to say I particularly liked Time... I don't know that critics nowadays are familiar with personification, metaphor and other literary gems
thank you
finally someone said it
any of who critic the movie saying it was not like the trailer just didn't watch it completely or didn't understand it
for me it was a great movie
He mentions the twist in the end that throws away the plot by having a large coincidence.
ya i wasnt sure about this movie. From the trailers, it looks like the biggest oscar bait film ever.
Joshcoshbagosh Nah, the worst award bait movie ever is Lee Daniel's The Butler.
Joshcoshbagosh I agree, why is everyone saying the trailers were good? Looked like an overwrought pile of bs, at least the actual movie doesn't seem quite as pretentious, even if it is dumb.
Daniel Mashanic Nope. The Blind Side.
Pocketses McFlurry Because the trailers had all this emotional music playing and tried to tug at your heart strings. Plus the great cast got people interested. Tbh, I "did" think it was a pretty interesting idea and I was actually thinking about going to see it if it turned out to be any good. Looks I will be spending my money else where though.
Joshcoshbagosh Yeah I was pretty curious, mainly for Edward Norton, but the trailer to me just seemed like the most clichéd "super special genius guy learns that life is wonderful and love is important again" type movie like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Bucket List, The Theory of Everything, etc.
Eh, but wtf do I know, I liked Batman v Superman and Interstellar made me cry like a bitch.
The script is low key savage
Just low key?
Mr Peaches Latour Oops sorry, I thought I lived in America in which I have the right to speak as "foolish" as I want to look "cool", as you presume was my motive for using slang. I'll make sure to listen to "yu" next time especially considering that you spelled "youre" without the apostrophe. Thank you for your wisdom.
Angel L'Mae Roberson what's good shawty you tryna get da hash brown? Drop da digits
Hash Brown drop digits?
Angel L'Mae Roberson go away before I eat you
Wow! I mean, just wow.... Talk about false advertisement, not to mention terrible friends in this movie. The man is grieving over the lose of his daughter and these 'friends' are trying to ruin his life even more!
TJ Jordan he'd been grieving for 2-3 years and for those 2-3 years he hardly said a word to anyone he worked with. They tried an intervention, a therapist, and a bunch of other stuff and nothing worked. Will smith ran them off and denied any help. They were desperate. I'm not saying what they did was right but it did help him get back on his feet
SpartansLXIX
So it's a rippoff of a Christmas Carol except it's a con job? It's retarded. They could easily have just gone to the board with a report of his failing business practices alone to have them replace him. Moreover a company would have noticed this and replaced him way before this. This is just stupid and pointless. The only thing they could have done is try to help him Christmas Carol style but that's not what they're doing.
And yeah they can do that on an iphone when Star Wars Rogue One with, THE guy who invented Photoshop, ILM with Disney studio money and Lukasfilm tech could not make gov Wax Tarkin, or Inflatable Princes Dall LeyYa look real? Sure.
its there career at state. what do u want them to do wait... the6 did 2 years
K Cuse I couldn't have said it better myself
Then why didn't he take a leave of absence?
well.. that was disappointing. I was sort of looking forward to this movie. Sort of a Christmas Carol in modern times but I guess it's too much to ask. Thanks for the heads-up, Chris.
This movie sounds so incredibly CYNICAL and CRUEL towards someone with MENTAL ILLNESS, that the makers should be ASHAMED of themselves.
Foebane72 agree or trying to manipulate things to make someone be seen as mentally ill to get them fired. Really thinking on this it's really really nasty and totally crazy for anyone to do this for a job. I mean hiring people and cameras and digital editing?
Foebane72 No need to get triggered
ARE YOU SERIOUS?? I WAS SO INTERESTED IN THE MOVIE
That fucking story sounds just...awful lol
I don't know wtf these people are talking about. I saw this with my girl and both loved it.
People like this guy don't like it because it messed with them, and it does because you think it's going one way and it flips around.
But it flips in the way the 6th sense did on people, some like that, some hate it. I personally thought it was a great movie and you won't expect how it ends.
Who else came here due to the look on Chris' face alone?
The plot actually sounds pretty good, never seen anything like that
so this is the No Man's Sky of movies?
Legit laughed out loud
lmao me too
But the things that are in the Trailers ARE actually in No Man's Sky?
Haha I must be the only one who plays that game.
fife007 😂
2016 should win an award for highly anticipated movies that turned out to be garbage
IXM360 yeah pretty much
Damian Charleston haha i was actually thinking of something else
Not to mention Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Arrival, Moana, and Pete's Dragon.
Matthew Moran jungle book wasn't that bad
neither of those movies are bad yer crazy
The Plot actually sounds great. I mean, that's basically how People are, they try to destroy a becoming weak Guy on the Top to get better payments, this is how the Working Life works on the top, everybody tries do destroy everybody, basically the most realistic christmas Movie of all time. But I think despite the great to hear Plot it has terrible Acting and Dialogue, I mean, for the premise alone no Movie get shittin by critics.
Walthor Faustus They're trying to deem him unfit to vote (he controls 60% of the voting shares) because he refuses to interact with anyone and most of the companies contracts are solely because of his relationships with them. They need a new big contract that's coming in, but Smith would completely blow it off and essentially destroy the company.
They arnt trying to get him fired.
3:50.. god, i thought the youtube was buffering or maybe my data package was run out or somethin. but then i realize that it was you just stop talking 😂😂 hilarious 😂
When Oscar Bait goes terribly wrong.
I knew as soon as I saw this Trailer it'd be garbage.
Lars O'Keefe Yup. It sucks too, Will Smith and Edward Norton are so talented.
Well, to be honest, this is one of those times where I watched the movie before looking up the reviews and I am happy about doing so. I liked the move, my gf and I just watched it last night and It hit us.
It is one of my all time favourite movies
oh god, you two have some shitty tastes in movies
the trailer was kinda nostalgia of its a wonderful life or a christmas story yet its grounded in reality......love you chris happy holidays sir
I already didn't like the movie based on the trailers. It looked like it was going to be very preachy and up its own ass with deep, corny quotes. Now that I know what the real plot is, I would have preferred it being up its own ass.
same here
Thanks for the review Chris, now I know to avoid this. Incredible how misleading the trailer is.
Richard D yeah I was assuming a feel good therapy thing even hiring actors to help him not make him look like he's nuts
hola a mi me gusto
3:44 I'm pretty sure I was making the same face as Chris here after hearing that plot line.
WHAT THE ACTUAL WHAT?!!!!!!!!
Dear God, that sounds like the most awful, mean spirited idea I've ever heard from a screenplay!
He was wrong about the actual plot
OMFG I'm DYING laughing "that is the actual plot of the film" blank stare hahaha hahaha!!!!
Where is the notification squad?!?
BryanCinema What are we, some kind of notification squad?

Hey Chris, I really enjoy your reviews and generally you offer some fun insights. I SO appreciate that! As an aside - thanks for recommending The Void! Really fun! But, Chris, man, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on this one! I loved Collateral Beauty! I think the supporting characters were struggling with their own humanity and their inability to sit with the grieving of the main character; each one was struggling with aspects of time, love and death in their own experience! Oh well, that's the beauty of film right - one flick, a million different perspectives and experiences!
it was a great movie, great plot twist at the end, i cried too, thats worth my 5 bucks
The hiring actors thing would have been a brilliant plot twist in a much better movie. How the hell did they screw this up?
UnkownSoldier100 agree they could've explored it as a therapy thing for grief and actually focused on his daughter. The lines Will Smith has with love about his feelings aren't actually that bad, they could have him move on with Naomi Harris
UnkownSoldier100 Agreed
Oh you want to know the best part (Spoilers that I heard from other critics because I'm not seeing this crap)
The actors they hired ARE actually the personifications of Death, Time and Love and were apparently just messing with Will Smith's "friends"
Fuck. My mom is the real going through the samething Will Smith's character is going through in this movie and she really wants to see this movie. I'm going to have to take her to this movie this weekend and pretend I don't know they lied and pretend I'm outraged then instead of now. This sucks,.
Brian Rose Or you could just be honest and tell her the truth, saving the frustration and possibility of her being offended by the movie.
Brian Rose don't waste your time @ $$$ tell her
Brian Rose I think you should tell her, she's going to be hurt at the idea that the friends are doing all this to make him be seen as crazy, I mean that's totally cruel
Brian Rose yeah I agree you should tell her
Brian Rose or just convince her to watch something else........
Thanks for the heads up, Chris!
Is Chris still doing analyze videos, I loved that series! It opened my eyes.
"He never had a daughter." Is that it?
*****
...wat uh tvist...
I took one look a the trailer and thought " man these A listers try too hard for awards".The messed up part is they used the trailer to attract a complete different group of viewers.
will smith is very talented and has charisma for miles... but he rarely makes a savvy movie choice. he's actually a bit of a square (nice guy). his sensibilities for what's cool are a little dated (90s) and too mainstream to ever completely turn anyone off or completely win anyone over. homie turned down django unchained because he didn't think django was portrayed as the hero, even when tarantino specifically wrote the role for smith. he turns down good "risky" roles all the time for the same old meat and potatoes year after year - i guess that's what speaks to you when you're a normal guy who doesn't have emotional issues like some "artists" lol
The trailer made it seem like it was going to be a genuine heartfelt movie but the plot he explained sounds crazy
Athena Jaxon It is heartfelt, I just got back from seeing it. Chris is overemphasizing the plot and the things he doesn't like about it.
Like, for example, they arnt trying to get him fired. Smith controls 60% of the voting shares in the company, and they need a big contract to save the company. They're trying to deem him unfit to vote so that they can go through with the contract and save the company. Not trying to get him fired.
It's almost perfect movie. Chris doesn't understand, didn't watch till end or has a grudge against it
My mouth literally dropped open when I heard the actual plot
God I hate these oscar bait movies
cant wait for your videos of best and worst films of 2016! have you filmed it?
almost forgot about this movie. then a fb friend said she saw it and loved it. i watched the trailer again and thought, man, how did i forget about this movie. it looks awesome.... so glad i found your review before wasting my time
Damm man. Anyone else been waiting like 8 years for a good will smith movie?
Waffle Colored Yup. He hasn't been in a great movie for years.
Concussion was quite good.
"Focus" was really good! I mean, it had its flaws. But it was really entertaining. Solid B movie, and Will and Margot Robbie's chemistry is really fun to watch on screen. The ending alone is worth watching the movie for!
Seven Pounds.
Comedy Bros Focus was horrible; the plot was was all over the place, the twist at the end was shockingly flawed, and the "romance" had no depth
man, I really was planning to go with my parents to see it in Christmas. guess my plan is scrapped.
frikynikkid yeah go see la la land or something or like sing or Moana. Musical films are usually happy movies
frikynikkid But you could go and see "Passengers"
Skyebright1 i saw moana myself, worth watching again...with my parents
frikynikkid i saw La La Land yesterday, and it's terrific. i will probably go a second time to see it while it's in theaters. added bonus for you: besides one(?) f-word it's family friendly, though the story obviously appeals more to adults than kids. if you have kids, go to see moana.
Don't see Passengers with your parents. That is all I will say.
After recently watching Birdman for the first time, I'm left wondering why someone like Norton would do a film like this.
Love your reviews!
I could see this plot working in a dark comedy or something, but wow. This movie is just. Wow.
Fortner Films 2016 Collateral Beauty 2, a feel good Xmas film about a man who gives his wife herpes just to see if she will stay by his side lmao. Bring the family.
*Chris finishes the actual plot*
*pauses video*
WHAT.
THE.
ACTUAL.
F*CK.
Landon Wilson We'll he got the actual plot wrong. Makes me wonder if he left the movie early.
TheEpicCastBen Wait, really? I didn't even bother with this movie even before hearing the plot. What's it actually about?
Just watched the movie. Gotta say I don’t agree with the bad reviews. It’s a good movie.
The “actors(resses)” they hired are actual spirits of love, death, and time. They explained that.
There’s a deeper “collateral beauty” everyone is trying to help Will’s character, however the side-effect beauty to it is that his friends receive the help from the spirits without that being their intentions
Will you be doing a review for Passangers? I've been on the fence about it
God damn it. That plot is so disappointing.
Oscar Bait: 2016 Edition
Plot twist : They're all on drugs

... the writers!
I hope Jada Pinkett-Smith doesn't complain about the Oscars again when he doesn't get nominated.
