| MovieholeClint MorrisWorth it, if only for Quentin Tarantino's hilarious cameo |
| User ReviewLaura CThis is my favorite go to obscure movie. It defies the Hollywood model. Quirky, clever, funny, and utterly entertaining! |
| User ReviewCarie Bi love this movie. plus it has eric stotlz = hot hot hot. |
| User ReviewJanieEric Stoltz is extra yummy in this quirky relationship film. |
| User ReviewSharon VSome fantastic lines in this film. Worth watching if only for the famous cameo by a young Quentin Tarentino explain why Top Gun is a gay film "you can ride my tail any time!" |
| User ReviewMarjorie CUnder-exposed sleeper with great dialogue, such as "Honey, I'm about to cloud up and rain all over you". Quentin Tarentino explaining Top Gun at a party is the best scene in the movie. |
| User ReviewPrivate Umost people know it for the tarantino cameo, but honestly, the whole movie is a twisted emotional mess of great. |
| User ReviewMary MThis is a great angsty little indy film and that's good enough, but the reason I think everyone should see it is to see Quentin Tarantino's diatribe on "Top Gun" and the homoerotic subtext therein. It is priceless! |
| User ReviewMark AVery entertaining, and quite funny, treatment of a not so funny situation. Joseph (Eric Stoltz), Frank (Craig Sheffer), and Sarah (Meg Tilly) are three friends whose relationship gets complicated when Joseph and Sarah marry and Frank confesses his love for Sarah. The main story is a tragedy of the first order. What makes it funny are all the side stories going on with the supporting cast. And a talented cast it is. Pain and confusion drive the main story, while confusion and deep philosophical conversations (not) drive the underplot. Poker games with the boys, various house parties, dating carousels, and couples who clearly like each other populate the background upon which these two friends seek to sort out their feelings and how the friendship is to survive with Sarah now as the thing that stands between them. Bittersweet romantic comedy. Of special note, June Lockhart (Timmy's mom on Lassie before she was Lost in Space, BTW) as the mother-in-law from the planet Tedium and Quentin Tarantino as Sid are brilliant. Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams do a hilarious turn as wanna be country singers that is not to ne missed. |
| User ReviewDaniel BIgnore the tomatometer which I think we can all safely says lies somewhat if you look at the list of most of the greatest films. For those who enjoy such slices of generation x nostalgia and the earliest films of Linklater involves clever scriptwriting, with a real biting sense of humour throughout even if the subject matter does become a little serious. Some have called it pretentious, but in all fairness I personally believe that it accurately captures the dynamic of young interaction and confusion amid the responsibility of love. While the final third is perhaps a little flailing, becoming more plot driven (as strange as that probably sounds) the moments of pure interactions make you yearn for a similar kind of dynamic to be existent in your life and really make the film something of a wonderful find. How this hasn't transcended into cult status I'll never know. Plus if in any doubt, the Tarantino cameo is worth an entire film of it's own. P.s. I believe you shouldn't listen to the reviews made my actual critics on films like this, most are disliked for being too simplistic or not full of plot or spectacle and give it poor reviews because it isn't seen as the kind of bull which will win an Oscar. Most audience reviews give it a truly respectable score, and in such times probably give a much better viewpoint on the film. Probably have just wasted a lot of my time though, no one will read this. |
