Format:DVD
I enjoyed this film. It's not brilliant but it is watchable and funny and a few of the characters are nicely played.
It's a film in the same vein as several others, so it breaks new new ground and is in no way original.
There is also a few narks with the storyline. I still find it unbelievable that Sarah Jessica Parker's character would have went on a second date with Dennis Quaid's and Ellen Page's actions at first toward her father contradict the way she obviously feels about him. Ellen Page again has put in another great performance, she has a wonderful fun loving glint in her eye that betrays the icy young Republican student character she plays- best thing about the film.
Definitely worth a look!

My title says it all! Like a previous reviewer has stated, it's all been done before, but not much better than this. Smart People is like 'the icing on the cake' for its genre.
From the makers of the heart-warming comedy-drama classic, Sideways, Smart People simply follows a group of people going through the usual ups and downs of every day life... And the funny thing is: it never gets boring.
Even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea, there's always Sarah Jessica Parker to brighten your day, plus the consistently brilliant and surprising Ellen Page, who is surely a huge star-in-the-making.
Bumbling along with a fantastic acoustic sound-track, Smart People is probably one of the most refreshing -but obviously underrated- indie pleasures of the year. Definitely worth a watch.

A fairly good idea for a storyline and a decent cast but the film was surprisingly weak. The film didn't really go anywhere and it became quite tedious by the end. I wanted to like it but near the end I was waiting for it to be over.

Well made, well acted and, well, dull...
The acting is good, the plot is more than fine, it is shot nicely. The problem with this film is it's really quite dull. At least that's what I thought. Read more

Dull SJP only high point
Dull: didn't really engage the viewer. Never really got going and relationships in the film a little unbelievable. A miss. SJP always good but the character a big miss

Very disappointing!
I'm quite easily pleased when it comes to films, but this one was a disappointment. It was neither 'hilarious' or 'touching'. Read more
