An average movie

When I heard that Sandra Bullock was cast in ‘Gravity’, I was really skeptical but, eventually, she really impressed me. It seems that at last, she has found a good balance between her trademark comedies and some more challenging roles (even though, in my opinion, ‘The Blind Side’ was vastly overrated). Anyway, more than 10 years ago, Sandra Bullock was already one of the most popular actress at work and, with this movie, she got her first successful comedy franchise. To be honest, the sequel was terribly lame but this first installment was actually pretty decent. Of course, the premise and above all the title sounded pretty lame but Bullock was as expected extremely charming and she was a perfect choice for the part. On top of that, they had Michael Caine on board who was as usual quite amazing. At the end of the day, like I said before, it is all very silly but, somehow, it still worked out pretty good and it was a rather fun movie to watch. The fact that I had some rather low expectations might have helped as well. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, it remains an entertaining comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are a fan of Sandra Bullock.
