People Like Us

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci used to be these little monkeys who started out writing great episodes for the Hercules series (Surprise, …And Fancy Free, Men in Pink, Yes, Virginia, There Is a Hercules, For Those of You Just Joining Us… or We'll Always Have Cyprus, to name the best ones) and look where they are today. Thanks to other series such as Xena, Jack of All Trades, and Alias, Alex has worked his way up to directing Michelle Pfeiffer, and together with Robert they are working on some of the funniest current blockbusters. People Like Us, on the other hand, is a great civil film that delights with its balance, thoughtfulness, and strong performances. I need to go through all of Michelle's scenes again because she's not just great and vital - she's just perfect. (31.01.2015)

A genuinely nice drama with predictable ending but you as a viewer root for it. But despite many nice actors I couldn’t make enough connection to all the characters to actually remember the movie. Pleasant but forgettable. (27.05.2018)
