In clear talk, I will discuss this movie

This movie has some tremendous things to say.
- Always count on the bad happening; if you survive, your bound to see it come back the other way.
- Life is crazy, but some of it is good. If the Grand Canyon is life, then it is not all bad.
- People have similar needs and make the mistake of isolating themselves, instead of getting together.
- For the people that have it really bad, what exactly keeps them going? Habit?
- How sigificant are our lives? Do our worries mean nothing in reality?

In this film you will see a white man and a black man get together and discover that they have similar needs and actually make great friends. This film questions life and it does so in a way that is apt. The problem might be, that we are not used to getting so much truth out of a movie. But, the ideas in Grand Canyon are worth consideration for intergration into ones lifestyle. Its sort of self-help like; only that, it is really good information.

thank you

Steve in Houston

I love that this film so polarizes its viewers! Is this not the signal that something substantial is going on up on the screen? And who can keep from smiling at how ardently some online reviewers have aligned themselves with the New York Times? Okay, the Times is generally a reliable source for helping you sift through movie-going options. But is this the worst movie ever made? C'mon. This is wonderful entertainment, with a dense script and an array of first-class off- and on-screen talents. Rent it. Wherever you come down between one star and five, you won't be sorry for giving yourself over to Kasdan's film. A movie that provokes viewers the way Grand Canyon does can't be all bad. And it just might not be bad at all.

good social commentary

I watched this movie last night.I found it be very interesting, nothing out of this world, but I was impressed by some of the social statements made, like danny Glover when he talks to his nephew about being good out on the street, and he tells him "what are you going to come up with some great idea to clean up the streets that no one else has thought of". The central thought of this movie is that the world is chaos, that really we don't have any control, even though we'd like to think we do.I felt this movie was alright and could be used to teach us about the world we live in. I'm surprised to read the reviews of people who disliked this movie. It's sad because every year Hollywood puts out stupid cinderella romance movies, that within the first five minutes of watching the movie I already know how it's going to end and I gain nothing from it, but when Hollywood puts out a movie with social commentary on the world we just bash it. People want perfection in a world that isn't perfect, this movie isn't great by any means but at least this time hollywood tried to make a movie that made us think about the world around us, as opposed to another boring tearjerker about the guy who always gets the girl.
