Best movie of this year hands down!
Excellent adaptation.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I'll start off with this. I don't usually talk about movies at work. Mainly because people tend to have different tastes than me. But I found myself telling people about this movie after I watched it.I caught this one on Netflix the other night. I really enjoyed it. I like Sam Rockwell as an actor, I don't know if I can relate to him, or if he just brings that old style of comedy back to the screen. The story of the script is OK and I would have like to see a little more back story, but all in all, it held its own. Or maybe just some more "buddy" type interaction. Sam and Steve have that kind of chemistry, and could pull of quite a bit that most wouldn't be able to get away with.I would put this in the same section as Support Your Local Sheriff or Spies like Us. I know they aren't the same genre but I really think that The two main leads in this movie have that same kind of bond, like in those films.
I don't know what's wrong with most of the reviewers here, but this film isn't even vaguely funny.The plot line sounded like it might be a real hoot, so I thought I'd give it a go. What a mistake. Maybe if you're Jewish and/or are from Rhode Island you'd bust a gut watching it. I got suckered in the same way by "The Hebrew Hammer" which probably was hilarious if you were Jewish but pathetic if you're not.A shame, because the basic story showed some real promise. Somebody with a bit of insight could have made a good indie film from it.For me, it was just boring, pointless and stupid. Some here have called this a "cult" film. They couldn't be more wrong.Waste of time.
I absolutely loved this very subtle very outrageous wonderful comedy. Sam Rockwell and Steve Zahn do rival the best pairings in comedy history in this movie. The supporting cast is terrific and the story is also rather gripping. If someone tells you this movie is bad... DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM PLEASE watch it! Then decide for yourself. Everything about this movie was well done. ALSO watch HITCHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXIE (another Sam Rockwell film) VERY VERY FUNNY as well SAFE MEN was buried in the vault of some silly company and was not released very widely. What a tragic mistake! This comedy rivals anything Woody Allen has done (And I am a VERY big Woody Allen fan)
I'm not getting into the specifics, as many here have written absolutely great comments to detail how extremely incredible this Indy treasure is. Not to mention the astounding cast; Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, Paul Giamatti just to name a few. I can watch this over and over again and still laugh out loud. My only question is this: why won't someone for G-d sake put this out on DVD so I can buy it????? (Not a fan of VHS - I want commentary, deleted scenes, interviews, more extras, w-i-d-e-s-c-r-e-e-n, etc., etc., etc.) So if the powers that be read this, Please get off your tuchases (sp?) and get this out on DVD!!!!! Otherwise, thank you for a great movie!!!!!
