Cashback (2007)

I still can't believe that such a good movie don't have a good trailer on youtube. Try to show to friends "a great movie that I've seen few years ago" went horribly wrong. Nobody wanted to watch it based on trailer.Yet, the movie influenced me a lot. I remember that at the beginning I've been thinking that it's just another comedy based in supermarket. Then, gradually my perception of the movie changed. At the end I was really impressed in favor of the piece.I am looking forward to watch it again but with some proper audience at my side.

At first I had expected to a greater extent a roar with laughter comic drama from this motion picture, yet got myself not chuckling once all through the whole film. Presently, that doesn't imply that the motion picture was terrible or crappy, a long way from it. "Cashback" was really a somewhat pleasant film and a crisp thought on the lighthearted comedy class. The story in "Cashback" is about Ben Willis (played via Sean Biggerstaff) who gets dumped by Suzy (played by Michelle Ryan) and for reasons unknown he can't rest after that occurrence. So he have 8 additional hours consistently. He takes up working at a store amid the night move to take a break, and discovers he can solidify time. Ben is a craftsman and begins painting the ladies in the grocery store, taking off their garments while time is solidified. Likewise working at the store is Sharon Pintey (played by Emilia Fox). Ben becomes hopelessly enamored with her and a relationship begins to blossom. "Cashback" is driven by a decent story, despite the fact that it is not a storyline that pushes forward at a high pace. The story, be that as it may, is all around complimented by great acting exhibitions. Also, the score that is utilized as a part of the film truly works so well with the story. The music was flawlessly utilized and very much chose. The movie is not at all like other lighthearted comedies I have seen, on the grounds that "Cashback" is not by any stretch of the imagination an upbeat story, it is increasingly the account of a broken heart, the way to patching it and figuring out how to discover love again when everything appear to be dim and sad. On the off chance that you are expecting an average lighthearted comedy that is straight off the author's work area in Hollywood, then you may be in an ideal situation with another movie, in light of the fact that "Cashback" is not one of those standard movies. "Cashback" is an excellent movie, both story-wise and cinematography-wise, however by and by I found the film to take fairly long to get no place, and it delayed for a really long time. I could have utilized something more perky to speed the movie along, and thus I give it just a 5/10 rating.

College art student Ben Willis (Sean Biggerstaff) is dumped by his first real girlfriend Suzy. He is so devastated that he develops insomnia. With nothing to do during the night and running low on cash, he decides to get a job at an all-night supermarket. It's his way to get Cashback for his useless time. Sharon Pintey (Emilia Fox) is the quiet weary checkout girl. Sean Higgins is his womanizing lifelong friends. He starts playing with time and even freezing it.The constant narration hides the fact that this is a pretty thin story. It is beautifully shot. Much of the talk is about the naked women. They are model good looking and I have no problems with that. If the naked girls and the slick look are taken away, there isn't much else. The romance with Sharon has limited drama. It may have worked as a short but expanding into a full length movie stretched the material a bit thin.

A vapid tale of a young man (teenager?) going through normal adolescent angst - about as deep as a puddle of crocodile tears.Here is a young man so tormented by his recent breakup with his girlfriend that he simply can't sleep - at all. So what to do with the extra hours? Why, get a night shift job at a grocery store. A store inhabited entirely by equally immature and one-dimensional jerks.But our hero finds that he has a secret ability. Where it came from nobody knows, but he can freeze time! So he's free to wander around the store, undressing the (all drop-dead gorgeous) women in the store. But this isn't for any prurient interests, No! He's an artist after all and he just wants to appreciate their natural beauty and draw a few sketches of them. And maybe fondle them a little too, but only in a very artistic manner.Add to this the most rudimentary of plots and a few more cartoon-like, one-dimensional characters and you have Cashback. A boy is heartbroken over a short relationship, he gets a job, and falls for the girl who works at the store. The end. This is philosophy and meaning of life as seen through the eyes of a lovesick thirteen-year-old boy. It's just pathetic.The troubling thing to me is that there are so many over-the-top reviews of this movie on IMDb singing it's praises as one of the great movies of all time. This says to me that there's either many more horny adolescent boys writing out reviews for such movies, OR there's a small army of paid reviewers cranking out laudatory comments on demand. I kinda think it's the latter.
