Permanent (2017)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Awesome Movie

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

How do I put this? This movie is a beautiful movie about hair. The hair that belong to the main character and character surround her are the main problem for this movie. The Main Character (a lovely Kira McLean as Aurelie Dickson) changes her essential nature while attempting to solve the problem about her hair. yes, you are not misread it, the main problem in this movie is actually about Aurelie's hair. funny right? Watch it and laugh with me.We have Aurelie's hair problem, Aurelie's father hair problem, Aurelie's friend hair problem, etc etc.The setting, the plot and the dramatic event around the main character has there to convince her that she doesn't need to concern too much about her hair. it is looks good anyway. And once she accepted that and feels good about herself then the main problem for the movie is solved. She changed herself from hating herself to loving herself: accepting her hair just the way it is.The appearance of Rainn Wilson as Jim Dickson is fabulous and Kaleigh Jo Keller is great as Aurelie's impact character and Nena Daniels as Lydia served as Aurelie's sidekick.I love it. The movie brilliantly solved the problem and message was cleverly conveyed to me as an audience. And some more, as any other movies that I review, it doesn't matter how much budget spent to create a movie, it doesn't matter how complicated the plot or how simple the plot is, the good movie is the movie that always makes you feels good when the ending credit appear. It is always that and it is always will be.

Fun family movie with lessons and relatable. The whole family is the main character the mom is hilarious and real and is relatable to women today. The dad is wonderfully depicted, funny and so loving. The daughter is hilarious and even though her world seems to be falling apart she is mentally untouchable and strong because her family unit is so strong and supportive. I recommend this to all families.

My wife, two daughters and I loved this movie! This is definitely a family film that captures the love, quirkiness and team effort that goes into being a family. Patricia Arquette is amazing as a mom holding everything together, while her daughter, played by Kira McLean shines as the girl struggling to find her place in a new school, in a new town, with a horrible accidental-perm! The dad-daughter chemistry between Rainn Wilson (who crushed it) and Kira McLean was spot-on. The attention to detail of the scenery, and the combination of tension and love between the characters gives this movie its credibility. Great film!

I saw this movie at the Virginia Film Festival and absolutely loved it. I normally don't go watch a lot of comedies because I tend to think many of them are just too silly and unbelievable but this movie made me (and everyone else in the theater) laugh a lot. Rainn Wilson did an outstanding performance as the father as did Patricia Arquette as the mother. This movie brought back so many memories of life in the early eighties when things were much simpler and was full of laughs while still being totally believable. There was so much attention to detail I felt like I had been transported back in time. It was great seeing the awful clothes we wore, the tacky, awful household decor and the BAD HAIR! The movie kept moving and kept me constantly entertained. Permanent would make a great TV series. If it comes out in theaters in my area I will probably go see it again. It doesn't disappoint.
