Excellent but underrated film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

A movie in which a woman explores her sexuality - including hiring a sex worker, trying out Ecstasy, dipping her toe into lesbianism, and engaging in a friendly-and-perhaps-more flirtation with a man outside her social class - and absolutely nothing bad happens because of it?That's so radical that this movie got overlooked by a great many people who should know better. Great performances across the board, notably by a stunningly beautiful Queen Latifah as the potential lesbian love interest.Highly recommended for anyone who knows that an open, experimental sexuality should be everyone's right.

what a strange combination!. But it actually works in this non-pretentious film about failed marriage, disappointment and hope.Danny DeVito is his usual self, gambling and trying new ways to make quick money. Holly Hunter is the ex-wife of a narcissistic doctor(Martin Donovan), who leaves her for a younger woman.Basically there are some good scenes with Queen Latifah as jazz singer; the movie does not have too many surprises but is a decent romantic comedy which actually can be enjoyed by those of us over age 25.There are not too many surprises, but this is an enjoyable positive film, with some decent performances which do not insult the audience. 8/10.

The movie focuses on Judy (Hunter) dealing with her post divorce life. I think Judy was supposed have some problems/complexities to her that would make the audience feel some sympathy for her. But, for me I just found her to be unlikeable. The movie crawls in spots, seeming to have no point to the actions on the screen. I was looking at my watch before the movie was 1/2 over, hoping as each scene wound down, the credits would start to roll.

Lovely movie about people looking for love and tenderness.I didn't know the movie, but took a chance, cause it had Hunter in it. She still is one of my favourite actresses. Danny De Vito is also good as the hardworking guy, who's in love with Hunter, but is afraid to tell her. Latifah surprised me as well, good performance. Would like to see more of this!
