It is okay. I never had heard of Scarlett Johansson before, it was until i saw lost in translation that i wondered about seeing her other work(in films). I was fortunate enough to see Manny and Lo On Spanish TV(i only saw a bit of it, but i was not impressed). Scarlett Johansson is a great actress even as a Child she still was super but i don't think this movie has it at all. I thought it was super boring. I felt this movie as being really sad. I still recommend it to you if you love admire Scarlett Johansson. :-) Movies i recommend to you on Scarlett Johansson. They are the following: (The funny movies) Eight legged Freaks. In Good company Girl with A Pearl Earring Lost in Translation Home alone 3. Perfect Score. Rating: - OverlookedScarlett Johannson and Aleksa Palladino play sisters "Amanda" and "Lauren", two foster kids, in this off-beat story. They kidnap a nurse-type (Mary Kay Place) to help them with Lauren's pregnancy. The movie is a bit quirky and the dialog is quite good. The movie did not have any Oscar-caliber aspects to it, but it was entertaining, however. The DVD itself has a good image quality, but there were no features other than scene selection, and a trailer to 3 other movies. It was over-priced (at $22) for what you get, but at a lower price, or if you are a fan of any of the three lead actresses, it may be worth it to you. Rating:  - GREAT MOVIE!I saw Manny and Lo for the first time on the OXYGEN channel earlier this year and fell in love with it. The movie is very entertaining and funny at times, I'm so glad that it is finally coming out on Dvd! I'm going to be at the front of the line buying this one when it comes out in January. Rating:  - a early Scarlett Johansson roleTwo orphan girls kidnap an eccentric woman from a baby store. One of the sisters is pregnant and holding her hostage proves to be most handy. A young Scarlett Johansson plays the younger smarter one. The rebellious teenager and the woman take time to adjust to each other but a bond is eventually drawn between the three. Scarlett is amazing in this. Her performance is mature and far beyond her age. I'm hardly surprised by her recent success. She deserves it. She didn't just pop up overnight. The hot dish references made me roar. I can so relate. Rating: - No men allowedThis is the sweetest film. It's definitely a "chick thing" with Manny and Lo and Elaine bonding around an infant to be (Lo's). No men are allowed in this paradise. One appears and he gets bopped over the head, gagged and hog-tied. This is a fem-family made on the run. Lo (Aleska Palladino) in her high teens runs away from a foster home with her younger sister, Manny (Scarlett Johansson). It's a Thelma and Louise crime spree made as a movie for children. Well, not quite. Turns out Lo's pregnant. She has been hiding this from 11-year-old Manny, who has the eye of Sherlock Holmes and is the brains of this team. They find a rather nice, used only during the ski season, cabin in the woods and hole up to await the stork. They spot Elaine (Mary Kay Place), a lonely spinster working in a baby clothes shop and kidnap her to help deliver the baby. Everybody, despite gruff exteriors, has a heart of gold, and togetherness and loving concern prevail. And what's wrong with that? Nothing really. But I was thinking: this is the obverse of male war movies where none or few women appear, men doing their manly thing killing one another, women irrelevant. I think that's the key word here for director Lisa Krueger: in the reproductive game that is war by other means, men are irrelevant. Or almost so. In war it doesn't matter how many men are killed. As long as there are some left the population will quickly spring back. Kill the women, though, and you have a serious population problem. Manny and Lo and Elaine prove that you really don't need the male: his sperm will do, and that way you don't have to put up with his loutish behavior. I think I got this right. Anyway, it's a cute movie. Manny & Lo ReviewsMore reviews:page 1 of 2
