Simply A Masterpiece
Memorable, crazy movie
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
My girlfriend saw this film in the shop and was attracted by the idea of Burt Reynolds but boy has he deteriorated since the Dolland and Aitchison ads. A trite remake of Dog Day Afternoon, your mind would have to be so 'open' parts of it would be spilling down the armchair to like this movie. There's a nice attempt to try and indict, like, society, man as the real criminal, but in the end, who cares? The attempts to make the hero into a latter-day saviour for the sins of capitalism collapse under the weight of their own pretensions as the dialogue drags and the characterisations reveal themselves to be so thin as to suffer from anorexia. Don't waste your time.
I ran across this movie when I was thirteen, and stopped only because I thought Mischa Barton was hot. I wound up watching the entire thing, and then stayed up until four so I could record it off of HBO West.I've heard people comment that kids their age weren't that vulgar and dirty minded, which is funny, since when I saw it I was their age (maybe a year older) and I thought it was funny because my friends and I would have been even lewder.I also made numerous friends and family members watched it, and they unanimously agreed that Ash had made a masterpiece. It also began my admiration of Mischa Barton, years before she landed a roll on the OC.
I see you have written reviews for many films and probably consider yourself as a well experienced movie watcher (lol) I understand what you're saying about this film, i agree it was poor but i still enjoyed it, it's really not that bad. Hey it's a film and sometimes things are a bit unreal like the bank being open before school etc. I think that Cameron played really well considering it was one of his first films, we all have to start somewhere! Mischa however was like a cardboard cutout, a few outbursts both outside the bank could have been done better. I think that the swearing and gun waving was a clever way of setting the confusion and panic young Stevie was going through. He was starting to realize that this was seriousHowever people enjoy different films and we are both entitled to our own opinion i do agree that it was poor but still enjoyable
I found Pups to be both funny and completely outrageous...very entertaining. I completely adore Mischa Barton and in her early work she expresses the same wonderfully sassy and salty personality expressed by Brook Shields in her early films. Pups has an earthy raw quality which I also enjoyed. Very refreshing.
