As Good As It Gets
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I just saw Kuffs and can't believe I have never ever heard of it before. It stars Christian Slater as George Kuffs, a slacker/loser who leaves his pregnant girl friend. His brother runs a privately owned police agency (they are not the official police of San Francisco but a title at the beginning of the movie explains that since sometime in the 1800s they have set up privately owned police agencies in different districts around the city) and after some strange circumstances Kuffs ends up being one of these "sheriffs for hire" tracking down the vicious gang that was going after his brother. There are some good jokes and the action is okay it also doesn't have too much swearing or nudity or blood/guts so it is okay for most people, PG-13 and safe at that rating even.
If the rather quirky and unique screen personality of Christian Slater is not your cup of tea, than I'd stay away from Kuffs. Reading the film credits before writing this review I learned that Kuffs was written specifically for Slater. I can't see anyone else this role of George Kuffs, amiable high school dropout who can't get his life together and is sponging off his big brother Bruce Boxleitner.Boxleitner is a patrol specialist, an institution dating from the days of the Forty Niners and unique unto San Francisco. There were not enough police to enforce any semblance of law and order in a town that just mushroomed over night. The city fathers assigned specific areas to people to enforce law and order and Boxleitner has one of those districts.But in his area, the merchants are being harassed and extorted and he's being offered a huge bribe to sell his district to some really nasty people. When he doesn't Boxleitner is killed and Christian Slater inherits his job. Despite some really gaping holes in the plot, the film is really carried along quite nicely by Christian Slater. Others in the cast of note are Milla Jovavich as his pregnant girlfriend, Leon Rippy as the hood who murdered Boxleitner and Tony Goldwyn as the SFPD officer assigned to Slater to keep him from getting killed.Still Kuffs is strictly a Christian Slater show and his fans will absolutely love it.
Kuffs is an outstanding movie,Christian Slater continues to "wow" me.This film has comedy,action AND romance.It sets of with Kuffs(Slater)dancing around his living room with his girlfriend(Milla Jovovich),who drops a bombshell that she is pregnant,thinking kuffs would be happy,boy was she wrong!Right from the start this movie made me laugh.He then leaves his pregnant girlfriend in search of his policeman brother,who owns a precinct called the Patrol Specials,Kuffs went looking for him to try and borrow money but instead was offered a job with his brother,which he politely declined until his brother was shot dead by the local crime king.Kuffs takes over his brothers business,his only interest....REVENGE,i don't want to give too much away,so please sit back and enjoy a magnificent movie,an easy10/10.
Kuffs is (not a serious film) about immaturity v evil greed. George Kuffs (Slater) is a 21 year old highschool dropout moving between jobs and superficial relationships until he simultaneously finds out his girl Maya (Jovovich) is pregnant and his civilian cop brother Brad (Boxleitner) is killed by a local bad guy Kane (Rippy). George was looking for a way to escape the responsibilities of it all until he learns that Brad left George the patrol district he owns and operates. Because everyone views George as the epitome of loserdom, George takes over the patrol district much to the chagrin of everyone else. George matures quickly, finding skills critical to the storyline that he never knew he had. Then applies his own style of problem solving to avoid losing his patrol district, while staying alive to find his brother's killer, and also do right by Maya. The pace and action are OK, it is shot well, the dialog and choreography is fine but cutesy. Don't skip over the explanation of the patrol district, otherwise you will wonder what the heck is going on.
