Leave your thoughts about Used People.
| The SpectatorVanessa LettsHas the feel of a film which has been created, with the help of lifestyle questionnaires... [and] for all that, the end product is chilling rather than romantic. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA soap opera with suds, this meller gives a bad name to the woman's picture in its story of a Jewish widow-matriarch and her dysfunctional family (mom, two problematic daughters), thrown off its shaken balance when Mastroianni's Italian charmer arrives |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenA comedy that can make you cry, Used People is the season's most pleasant surprise. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWell-observed but shapeless mainstream romantic comedy that reminds one of Moonstruck. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn old-fashioned melodrama with equal doses of laughter and tears. |
| User ReviewBrendan COne of my favorite movies....I hope it comes out on DVD soon! |
| User Reviewbill sOne of those movies that has stuck with me, though I haven't seen it in years. I wish they'd issue the DVD! Funny and sad, this movie portrays the pain and hilarity that seems inevitable when it comes to family. |
| User ReviewGena DI thought it was cute. I mean, they could have gotten even more out of the subject but it was fun and sweet. |
| User ReviewSari IEnjoyable film, and what a great cast. They all do well, especially Kathy Bates and Sylvia Sydney. Nicely written, although it does have a few parts that drag. Decent period detail. It jumps around a little too much, but it still was easy to follow. |
