Excuse Me for Living (2012)

Touches You

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. The acting is stilted, the screenplay seems to have been put together randomly with no continuity, the directing done by someone who has no concept for how to string together a plot.The characters are undeveloped, their motivations are unclear and seem to change from scene to scene and their actions are either under- or over-stated. It almost seems as though there were originally two different story lines and something went wrong in the cutting-room; both films seem to have been mixed together resulting in a movie that you'd have to be as nuts as we're supposed to believe the lead character is supposed to be in order to make any sense of it.Excuse me for living? Perhaps, but this film shouldn't be excused for existing.

Excuse Me For Living is one of the best films I've seen this year alone, This film has a very awesome cast and crew and Ric Klass did an amazing job with this film. This film will make you laugh and smile. I know it made me smile and laugh a lot. Melissa Archer who played the lead actress in the film did an AMAZING Profound JOB as her character and the whole cast gave 110% I think. I would recommend everyone see this film and read the book, the book is great too. I haven't finished it yet but soon. I give this film a 10/10 Star rating. I love the Film, I love everyone that is in the cast and I'm a HUGE Melissa Archer fan!! I have come to know Ric Klass by helping promote the film via my fb fan page dedicated to Melissa Archer and everything.. It a great film. I will say I was shocked at one part of this film but I won't saw which because I don't want to give away any surprises.. Just go see it!!

I thought the movie was cute, funny and very entertaining.I enjoyed it. "Laura" played by Melissa Archer, was sexy, adorable and surprising!The movie seemed to come to life when she entered the scene and the interplay with her and Dan, Tom Pelphrey's character who was a hoot, was very well done! I liked Dan and I liked Laura and the two together,there just should have been more of it. I think that's my biggest complaint, I wish there was more focus on the lead character falling for the psychiatrist's daughter (who I was left wanting to know more about, who she really was),since they clicked so well chemistry wise and his time at the senior men's club. Also there seemed to be two separate stories going on, that of the attorney and the older professor and what the movie was actually about. I found that distracting and unnecessary. Saying all that, it was a perfect date night or girl's night out film. It's got a little something for everyone. Your boyfriend will thank you for dragging him along and the gals get a treat too.

This is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The totally unbelievable plot is premised on one coincidence after another. The druggie lead character's father is getting a divorce and his mistress happens to work at the institution to which the lead character is remanded. Said institution happens to be within walking distance of the mansion of his best friend/supplier. The lead character's mother is represented by a woman divorce attorney who frequents parties at the friend's mansion. Her best friend is the daughter of the doctor who runs the institution but she only attends the parties at the mansion when necessary for the plot. The doctor has the lead character participate in a discussion group of older men, one of whom is the friend of the late father of the female divorce attorney an academic who is hopelessly smitten by her. She quickly develops a school-girlish crush on him, despite acting like a merciless harpy when other men are concerned. And so on...Some of the acting, particularly that of the divorce attorney and the love stricken professor, is particularly bad. We at first thought they were trying to scam each o other before realizing. no, they just can't act, at least with this script and direction.Some of the scenes are puzzling, at best. I at first thought that the funeral was a poorly done fantasy sequence, before realizing, no, it was just poorly done.Avoid at all costs.
