I missed "Simone" when it was in the theaters. Would you recommend it for a blind purchase?

"Simone" is not as bad as the trailers and reviews would lead you to believe. However, I can't recommend it as a blind purchase, it's strictly rental material IMHO.

Oooops. Sorry for the thread. Thanks for the responses. The forum search engine was disabled & the reviews I read were iffy so I was undecided on this one (I know, no excuse... 50 lashes).

Looks like a rental.

After seeing S1M0NE, I would have given anything to have not seen it. Before this film, I had a policy of watching anything at least once. I would never watch this film again. For the love of all that's holy, don't give them anymore money for this film.

I'm confused Chad. Are you saying I should hold out for the Special Edition?

I'm picking it up sus, but that sitll shows my disappointment. It went from "oooh neat movie" to "bah why did they screw it up?" (using a real actress for S1mone).

I usually like what I pick up sus. Still only have five discs out of 310+ I wish I hadn't purchased.

This movie is a rental. Even those that will buy this DVD, I can hardly see any one of them going back for repeated views of this flick. It is sort of billed as a Sci Fi drama comedy movie. But falls short on all that it is going for. Lighted hearted comedy at best.
