UnowPriceless hyped garbage

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Isbel 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.

blanche-2 "High Heels and Low Lifes" is a British comedy from 2001 starring Minnie Driver and Mary McCormack as friends who become involved in a robbery and decide to take matters into their own hands.Driver plays a nurse, Shannon, and McCormack is her actress friend Frances. Finding out about a robbery nearby, they decide to blackmail the robbers for $2 million. The gang is led by Kevin McNally and Michael Gambon.It's much more convoluted and fun than I've just described. I only gave it a 7 because it actually could have been a TV movie. However, it's so darn funny, and everyone in it is great. I had never seen the prolific McCormack in comedy; she's excellent. Minnie Driver looks great and is hilarious -- the two make a wonderful team. I wish they had turned this into a series.It's on Netflix - if you like the type of comedies that were done in the '80s before everything appealed to the lowest common denominator, this is for you.

norale This movie is great because it features two female leads but it isn't a chick flick.-=some SPOILERS=-A nurse (Driver) and a mediocre actress (McCormack) use the nurse's dumb boyfriend's scanners to listen in on phone calls.They overhear Danny, lookout for a gang of bank robbers who's calling his girlfriend.The police don't believe them when they report and the actress takes down the phone number. They concoct a scheme to blackmail the robbers for some of the take.They call Danny and set up a drop but Danny tries to shoot them and wounds a homeless man. So they track down Danny and find out his boss is named Mason. They blackmail Mason but get nowhere, eventually tracking down Mason's boss Kierigan.In the end they find Mason's house and hold him hostage. They manage to steal all 10 million pounds and get away.Good humor, though fairly subtle for American audiences, but British humor fans will laugh their butts off. Good acting and good direction. entertaining as a date movie, girl-power flick or light comedy.I recommend checking it out, rent it the next time you're out and pair it with Bridget Jones for more silly humor from the Brits.

bellhollow This movie is a no-thinker, be entertained movie. No messy sub-plots to try and unravel, no multiple-characters that look the same, and no crumby ending. This movie works for me because the characters are distinctive. The cops have those looks that are rememberable, not because of pretty-boy looks. Sit down, drink a brewsky, and enjoy the show. Maybe Driver and Mccormack can do a movie with Sandra Bullock. Gracie Lou Hart meets the GANGSTA GIRLS. Sometimes I just have to watch something with a little bit of Charlie's Angels (the series) where I get to watch without thinking EVEN IF IT IS HOKEY AS HELL! The movie is very entertaining with a good ending. The older I get the less I care for some downer ending. This is a no-thinker, entertainer movie.

jeeper_white I don't know what it is about this movie that I like so much, but everytime its on I always watch it. It is a comedy, despite what some people have said. Mary McCormack and Minnie Driver do a great job with their roles. I particularly liked Mary McCormack's character, the ditzy American actress.
