Load of rubbish!!
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Well, "Beautiful Joe" is a low budget film, so, consequently, it has had a very little publicity. However, that fact doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad movie, and in this case, it's actually not a bad project. The plot is sometimes too rushed-- like in the scenes involving Joe's brain cancer--, but that happens in order to bring the story's main subject more quickly: the romance. Joe abandons his former life to discover the world out there, and albeit he gets involved with a troublesome woman, he finds a new happiness along with her. On the other hand, I may admit that the story feels too generic and ordinary to be told in a feature-film, but it can still be enjoyed as long as the spectator buys the spirit of it. Also, I disagree with its synopsis that has been written on IMDb; Joe is nothing close to a "really nice guy", whereas Hush isn't a "really bad girl" as well. That being said, in my opinion and in conclusion, "Beautiful Joe" doesn't bring anything new to the genre that it's been produced in, but it is surely a humble project that entertains the average audience.
This had potential, but the script ran out of ideas after 10 minutes and became obvious and completely predictable. Billy Connolly is held back and allowed to show only a few glimpses of his great comedy and acting talent, while Sharon Stone goes way over the top as she tries to compensate.A poor film all-round, where deus-ex-machina rules.
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsAn intriguing casting decision to pit Sharon Stone and Billy Connelly together in one film,but still,Beautiful Joe is really not a winner.It runs for 94 minutes for what feels like 994,and there's a ametuerishly cliched feel to it,which feels very strange.Every major star seems dispensable in the movie business,and when names like Stone and Connelly would have drawn huge box office crowds as early as about 5 years ago,they're appearing in the equivelent of cable TV movies nowaday.Stone's still as great a sexy slut today as she's always been,but you really only need to admire the cover for that.**
This is a really beautiful film. Billy Connelly is tops and Sharon Stone again shows she can play a role vs. being a role. And the two kid actors! Wow, where did they find them?Stone is wonderfully over and under played as the woman who life has dissed and who has no control over herself. Connelly is more than wonderful as the Irish immigrant who comes to love her, understand her and save her (and her children) from herself.Watch it and enjoy it!
