As Good As It Gets
An Exercise In Nonsense
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The animated rabbit is accused of killing a man and he is to be punished by "deleting" sentence. His beautiful animated wife and a human private detective are trying to solve this case and save the rabbit and the whole animated world from destruction.For me, this noir-mystery-comedy-thriller to this day remains the best movie that combines live action and animated film. I saw it countless times, never found a flaw, and I could count the qualities until the day after tomorrow. The story is simple but well-written, the combination of the noir atmosphere and the atmosphere of short cartoons is captivating, and one-liners are hilarious. This is the only film in which Disney and Warner characters appear together on the screen, and there are also several characters from other studios. The film has several parallels to "Chinatown" and "Back to the Future", and it parodies or pays homage to many more iconic movies and characters. It is full of awesome details that you have no chance to notice all during just one viewing, and for some it is necessary to watch the movie in slow motion because they are put in single frames.What fascinates me most about this movie is that computer animation wasn't used at all. Everything was done old-school and 326 animators hand-drawn over a million drawings, of which nearly one hundred thousand frames were used in the movie. With 70 million dollars invested, this is the most expensive film of the 80's. It had six Academy Awards nominations, out of which it won three. I must also mention the excellent music by Alan Silvestri (Fandango, Cat's Eye, Back to the Future franchise, Predator, Young Guns II, The Bodyguard, Judgment Night, Forrest Gump, Judge Dredd, Identity, Van Helsing, Night at the Museum, Captain America, The Avengers).I recommend this movie to everyone, and if you end up amazed like me, you can find tons of interesting trivia online. I just spent a couple of hours reading interesting things about this movie and rewinding the movie to find the details I'm reading about.10/10
A hard-boiled, detective drama film noir combined with a rubbery, slapstick Tex Avery cartoon, this unique and wonderfully inventive flick masterfully combines two mediums and genres into one intrinsic piece with a cohesive and believable visual style and a thrilling and compelling narrative. 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)' is a beautifully animated, incredibly inventive and brilliantly put-together picture that plays like the best of both of its core inspirations while also acting as a nice satire to them, ending up a remarkably impressive and wholly entertaining experience that's as awe-inspiring as it is fun and breathlessly enjoyable. 7/10
Film includes an extraordinary cast of actors: Charles Fleischer (the voice over of Roger Rabbit, Benny the Cab, Greasy, and Psycho), Bob Hoskins (Detective Valiant), Christopher Lloyd (Judge Doom), Kathleen Turner (Jessica Rabbit), the legendary voice artists of Mel Blanc (aka "The Man of a Thousand Voices" who does Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, Porky, and Sylvester) and Mae Questel (who does Betty Boop!), just to name a few....Alternately hilarious and suspenseful, this film is replete with the kinds of throwaway gags, inside jokes, and one-liners that audiences would expect to see in an old-time cartoon short, while at the same time it unfolds into an intelligent who-done-it mystery worthy of Bogart's Sam Spade. Movie represents the apex of 20th century film-making, but it is also wholesome family entertainment that offers something for kiddos and adults alike. This one will still be enjoyed by audiences of all ages long after it becomes an icon in the history books.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.
Roger Rabbit is a distracted Toon performer in the Maroon Cartoon studio. R.K. Maroon hires Toon-hating private detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) to investigate Jessica Rabbit and break up their relationship once and for all. Toons supposedly killed Eddie's brother. A private company called Cloverleaf buys up the public transit Red Car. Bartender Dolores (Joanna Cassidy) is an old friend. At the nightclub to see Jessica perform, Eddie photographs Jessica playing pattycake with the owner of Toontown Marvin Acme. Roger Rabbit is distraught and when Marvin Acme turns up dead, he's the prime suspect. Creepy Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) intends on tracking down the Rabbit and bringing order to Toontown with the use of his dip. Acme supposed to have a Will leaving Toontown to the Toons. Eddie starts finding evidence of wrong-doing as he investigates.This is a great marriage between the cartoon world and an old style hard-boiled detective story. The only problem is that future live-action animation never lived up to the imagination and shear audacity of this work. The genre becomes mostly kids movies. This is great for kids and for adults who see the influence of classic noirs like Chinatown in this. Bob Hoskins is a great unconventional lead and Jessica Rabbit is the breakout cartoon character.
