It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
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.
Like many of you here, when I saw that Jason Priestly was played the main character I had little hope of enjoying this film (even though I am a closet fan of the first season or two of 90210). I was more than pleasantly surprised when not only was the movie GREAT!!!, but Jason Priestly nailed his performance (and of course the rest of the supporting cast as well. I loved the subtle humor. I loved everything about this movie. This is not spoiler, so I am not going to elaborate. Do yourself a favor, if you can find this movie, rent it. If you like movies like Pulp fiction (as I do), you will love this movie. I just can't believe more people don't know about this movie. I stumbled into here because I found that I couldn't rent this from Netflix so I have decided to buy if from Amazon.com. My wife will soon be a fan of this movie too. It sucks I am going to have to dust off the VCR to watch it though.
There are many good things to say about this movie from the standpoint of of wanting to find clever ways of commenting on its premise and appreciating its professional cinematography. It is not a bad piece of work at all. So-called "black" humor has its place in modern cinema, as do ironic turns of plot that demonstrate the virtuosity of a film's creators.That having been said, I found this effort a step or two short of reaching a successful or convincing end product. I have no quarrel with Jason Priestly as an actor; indeed, I think he has taken on some very challenging roles right up to the present day, and he can be very impressive as long as he plays them "straight." In this one, however, he is just a bit too tongue-in-cheek, too conscious perhaps of desiring to play with the audience. The role itself is also poorly written in that regard. There are unresolved ambiguities and even contradictions in the character of Cosmo, whether in terms of his basic intelligence or his innate morality. In order for this kind of thing to succeed, it has to be all of the same cloth, rather in the manner of the wildly fanciful Forrest Gump or some of Tarantino's odd characters. In Cosmo we are treated to an impression rather than a portrayal of the real thing.In spite of all that, I recommend this for any adult viewer unencumbered by sentimental ideas of morality or not easily offended by graphic violence. Most of what happens is fairly predictable in any case, however, so it is easy to hit the mute button or go get a sandwich while the shooting is going on.
I saw this late at night on channel 4 and initially thought it wasn't much... but for some reason didn't end up turning the TV off and became hooked on it.There's something delightfully perverse in the watching of the breakdown (or perhaps release) of his personality as he's left with no choice but to become colder and colder. The ending caught me by surprise but I suppose that's only because I was hoping for more - plus it ended before the story had any time to drag on and thus (and I'm guessing others) left me in the midst of the flow still, which was a good feeling.
I saw a trailer for this movie on an old video, and it intrigued me. Icame to IMDB right away to see if it's good, and having theapproval I needed, I started my quest to find it. Luckily there's avideo store in my town that has a lot of the older movies and neverthrows them out.As for the movie, I thought it was great. Cosmo is so emotionlessthat his hits are actually funny. And I loved the relationshipbetween him and the hooker in the retirement home. This is atruely great movie, and it makes me kinda angry that hardly anyonewill see it.If you get a chance, RENT THIS MOVIE 9/10
