Pretty Good

Memorable, crazy movie

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Vincent Gallo is a fine actor and a leading man. But, unfortunately he is completely unbelievable as a talk show host. The idea that the Bobby Bishop Show has an audience at all is absurd. Gallo is unfunny and has no stage persona. One could argue that his persona was altered because of his mental breakdown. There have been far better fake on-air breakdowns. NetworkLarry Sanders ShowGroundhog DayEven Studio 60This is a concept that is innately funny but very difficult to pull off. Mr. Gallo did not pull it off--unfortunately, this is the entire concept of the movie. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Gallo and Ms. Cox go at it as a romantic pair but the movie is flawed from the beginning with a poor performance by Mr. Gallo. He is, however, great in every scene he is not actually performing the duties of a talk show host. I cannot recommend this film, though, because the concept is so flawed that the rest of the scenes lack credibility.

i think this could be the worst attempt at stylish editing i have ever seen. i felt embarrassed watching it sometimes. i don't mind the film being bad so much but there was a certain smugness about the 'wackyness' of the humour that was extremely off putting. There is nothing new here, even though the writing is packaged as if we have never seen anything like this before. Drawn out supposedly awkward scenes just appear boring and clunky. There were one or two nice scenes with vincent gallo and Monica from friends. A lot of space in the dialogue for them to play with it, probably more due to lack of characterisation than creative freedom. Very poorly made film that feels very arrogant. i wouldn't really recommend this film. I only watched it because i like vincent gallo but even he under performed in this lukewarm disappointment. happy new year.

Sure.. it's not the best movie made. And sure, it may be quite strange. But this movie is absolutley wonderful. Courteney Cox steals the spotlight from the moment she comes into screen. The camera shooting was quite unique.. but it was OK. No movie is perfect. And not every movie can be a box office record. This one wasn't a hit, but it should have been. It was a great plot, a great script, and an even greater cast. And that's all you need for a great movie.

Mr Vincent Gallo is an absorbing, eye-catching beast. Whilst immediately drawn to his fractured features, it is his concentrated screen presence that you hold in mind. Here he plays Kevin, in the guise of the Bobby Bishop, a late-night talk-show host. Becoming increasingly aware of his frustrating emptiness, he starts to twist free of the ever-pandering agents, artists and parasites that accompany his fame. His thoughts turn to an abandoned love (Courteney Cox), and returning home for a reconciliation, encounters involving and amusing obstacles such as thieves, hookers, imitators, mental patients and the police. This is clearly Vincent's film, from the music to the awakened speech to camera near the end, however Courteney Cox performs admirably and the scenes with her mother are played well. The rest of the cast fill their scenes with delirious energy, although the wonderful talents and Romanian beauty of Elina Lowensohn were not rewarded with enough screen time. Director Justin McCarthy's direction is crisp. He develops the story well, and has framed New York nicely. Keep an eye out for 'Jump', an earlier piece of work.
