	Vanilla Sky. A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Vanilla Sky is one of those films that made you think, instead of having some Hollywood producer, or director, doing the thinking for you.
		Vanilla Sky switches back and forth from the supposed here and now to a later time when Aames is in prison, accused of murder.
		Vanilla sky is about a young man so submersed in pop culture that he is unable to connect with people (the opening scene wonderfully suggests this).

	TNMC Movie Reviews: Vanilla Sky
		Vanilla Sky may be the most pleasant ruse perpetrated on the American public since Eyes Wide Shut, which is ironic because they are essentially the same con.
		Vanilla Sky, I believe, only works if the ruse is intact - audience members too much in the know will wait impatiently for plot twists of increasing weirdness to emerge, for the best stuff coming towards the end.
		Vanilla Sky is Cameron Crowe's "cover" of the Spanish film Open Your Eyes - the same tune, different personality.

	Vanilla Sky - Nitrate Online Review
		In Vanilla Sky, Tom Cruise plays David Aames, Jr., a brash young publisher who is wealthy, successful, and very sure of himself, and who takes things much too lightly (as evidenced by one of his enterprises, a glossy magazine that resembles Maxim).
		Vanilla Sky has some painfully obvious business involving David wearing, or carrying around, a smooth latex mask, which looks like something out of a Laura Branagan music video.
		After all the gimcrackery, Vanilla Sky ends up telling us, yeah, life is fine, as long as you have, say, a really good alarm clock stashed in case of emergencies.

	DVD Review: Vanilla Sky
		"Vanilla Sky" moves slowly and could have used a few little clips here and there to aid the pace of the 136 minute picture.
		SOUND: "Vanilla Sky" is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, but this is not a particularly active soundtrack.
		Paramount still continues to show improvements in their DVD releases and "Vanilla Sky" is another very nice effort, combining a fine presentation of the film with great supplements.

	VANILLA SKY
		Sky is probably the most disappointing release yet from Oscar-winning Almost Famous writer/director Cameron Crowe (perhaps because it's so much less personal than his previous work).
		Of course, Sky looks much better because of its big stars and healthy budget, which was over 200 times larger than Ojos'.
		He thinks it's all a conspiracy cooked up by the board of directors, since they can only wrestle control of the company away from David if he is declared mentally unfit (with Sky, Waking Life, A Beautiful Mind and Memento, 2001 may forever be known as the Year of the Dreamy Psychosis).

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Vanilla Sky
		"Vanilla Sky" is the BEST film of the year.
		Whenever I go to the theaters with a group of friends to watch a movie as bizarre as "Vanilla Sky", I am usually the sole person to appreciate it, with the other members of my group loathing every second of it.
		At two hours and twenty-five minutes, "Vanilla Sky" is protracted and somewhat dragging, but it's a brilliantly original motion picture that you soon won't forget.

	DVD Verdict Review - Vanilla Sky
		Vanilla Sky is notable for A.) coming out around the time of Cruise and real-life wife Nicole Kidman's divorce and B.) being the film where Cruise met, romanced, and starred with his future new main squeeze Penélope Cruz (Captain Corelli's Mandolin).
		At first Vanilla Sky grabbed me; I thought to myself, "Self, this could be interesting…I don't know where it's going, but I'm intrigued." This statement came crashing down less than a half-hour into the plot when I found myself attempting to stimulate my brain by poking knitting needles up my nose.
		Vanilla Sky is a far too complicated, confusing film to be worth a viewer's two hours.

	AboutFilm.com - Vanilla Sky (2001)
		Vanilla Sky is the latest in a series of mind-fuck movies released in the fall of 2001 that includes Waking Life, Mulholland Drive, and Donnie Darko.
		In discussing dream therapy and the difficulty of processing and assimilating the unconscious, Jung wrote that several negative outcomes are possible--eccentricity, infantilism, paranoia, schizophrenia, or regression (the restoration of the persona).
		The answers provided in Vanilla Sky are a little limiting and the journey is a little long, but it's an exciting exploration nonetheless.

	VANILLA SKY - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Vanilla Sky is an unpleasant, incompetent, and laborious amalgam of Jacob's Ladder and The Game, Joe Eszterhas doing Frank Herbert, if you will.
		Vanilla Sky comes off as the cinematic equivalent of the blowhard at the cocktail party spewing trivial non-sequiturs wrapped in purple hyperbole in the hopes that someone gullible will fall in line for a joyless ravishing.
		Had she been given the Sofia role and the ever-reliable Kurt Russell (appearing as a criminal psychologist or something) the lead, Vanilla Sky would at least be spared a somehow greasier than usual Tom Cruise and Penélope Cruz continuing her hard-won slide into obscurity.

		Sixth Sense") the chi of "Vanilla Sky" slips a bit out of control, then is unremarkably resolved in the end with uncharacteristic exposition to clean up the excess spillage.
		Interesting notes: Cruise and Cruz, Cameron and Cameron: To avoid confusion the "Crews" dubbed Diaz "CD." Also, "Vanilla Sky" is a remake of Alejandro Amenabar's 1997 Spanish romantic thriller "Abre Los Ojos." Producer Paula Wagner says, "It's the equivalent of doing a cover to a great song." Penelope Cruz plays Sofia in both films.
		"Vanilla Sky" is scored by the director's wife: Nancy Wilson -- yes, of the rock band "Heart".

		"Vanilla Sky" is a remake of the Spanish film "Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes)", and if you have seen the original film, you know that "Vanilla Sky" was made almost in the same way, but there a few key differences.
		"Vanilla Sky" plays with the time, the movie goes back and forth between past and present, and sometimes you don't know if some events really happened or if the main character is just having a nightmare.
		The cast in "Vanilla Sky" is very interesting: Tom Cruise is David, the main character, and Cruise gave one of his most inspired performances in recent years.

	Vanilla Sky (2001): Reviews
		Like "Open Your Eyes," to which Crowe is mostly faithful, Vanilla Sky is a head trip that merges thriller, romance and science-fiction elements while playing with our notions of dreams and reality.
		For better or worse, Vanilla Sky is a genuine, albeit jejune, statement of star consciousness -- blustery with self-awe and feverish with cataclysmic self-doubt.
		Though Vanilla Sky is smoothly and professionally done, even audiences who haven't seen the original will sense there is something off in the translation.

		The lighthearted, humorous, and personal touches he gave to films like "...Say Anything" and "Almost Famous" are featured throughout "Vanilla Sky," but the film is actually more faithful to the dark nature of the Spanish version that inspired it.
		Of course, the real strength of "Vanilla Sky" lies with the casting of its leads, which in this case, almost threatened to be its undoing.
		Depending on what mood you're in, "Vanilla Sky" is either a frustrating cinematic experience or a rewarding one.

	Vanilla Sky review
		Vanilla Sky is the remake of Alejandro Amenabar's (The Others) imperfect but skillful small film Open your Eyes (Abre los Ojos).
		The director—and probably the producers—do not seem to share that point of view since the film hastily resolves the mystery in an elevator; a conclusion which has no other purpose than to bring intellectual reassurance to an apathetic audience that can then catch their breath with a surprised "Oh".
		Vanilla Sky will be remembered for its great cinematography of New York, Cruiz and Diaz's spark, and the Jason Lee sympathetic defeatism.

		In "Vanilla Sky" -- a remake of Alejandro Amenabar's "Abre los ojos" ("Open Your Eyes"), which also featured Cruz -- Tom Cruise is a young publishing hotshot who, like a bumblebee in Helmut Lang, flits from flower to flower, never landing long enough to fall in love.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Vanilla Sky
		Vanilla Sky is a film you must see twice, especially if you hated it the first time.
		Cruise spends ample time staring at his beautiful, well-built visage in mirrors, plucking out gray hairs or basking in his deformed, gimp-like state, simultaneously terrorizing and applauding himself — how awful to be ugly, but what a great, brave actor I am to show myself this way.
		Never mind the whole "You had me at Hello" business — Vanilla Sky is a cold, dismal bit of filmmaking that manages to become significantly true in its un-truths.

		Review: It's easy to see what attracted Tom Cruise to the 1997 Spanish film, "Open Your Eyes," of which "Vanilla Sky" is a virtual scene-by-scene remake.
		These two made "Jerry Maguire" together and could've probably spent the rest of their careers making "Jerry Maguire 2, 3 and 24." Just their willingness to tackle something like "Vanilla Sky" gives the picture a kind of odd courage.
		A lot of critics are going to call "Vanilla Sky" too vanilla (as in bland.) Let's say here that the vanilla part isn't so bad; they just should've added some chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough to give the movie some texture and edge.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Vanilla Sky Movie Review
		Vanilla Sky isn't the worst film ever made, but it's certainly a big step down for a director who can do a lot better.
		That doesn't give us a reason to pay attention, however, and Vanilla Sky demands a more disciplined approach than the filmmakers bring.
		Crowe is a gifted director, and he should rebound from this pretty easily, but his efforts to file the edges off this story leave us with little desire to work through it.

	Vanilla Sky : film review
		There are a lot of twists and turns in Vanilla Sky and it is very easy to lose your way if you don't pay close attention.
		His script, an adaptation of the 1997 original (written by Alejandro Amenabar of The Others fame), is filled with dialogue that is fresh, involving and at times very poignant.
		Vanilla Sky is not your usual erotic thriller nor is it your usual big-budgeted, star-laden Hollywood holiday offering.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Vanilla Sky (2001)
		Now, only two years since "Open Your Eyes" was released stateside, comes "Vanilla Sky," a faithful adaptation (star Penélope Cruz even reprises her role here) with one key difference: it replaces the cold, sterile atmosphere of the original with a delicate warmth and unforced emotion that miraculously makes the movie all the more profound.
		A motion picture that only grows more enrapturing with each passing minute, the stunning visceral impact of "Vanilla Sky" is not weakened in the least by comparisons with "Open Your Eyes," a respectable feature in itself that, nonetheless, lacked the depth of character found here.
		The implications of such, so brilliantly brought to life in "Vanilla Sky," are unbearably tragic.
