GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

WiseRatFlames An unexpected masterpiece

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

brokentoy3mz This movie was made in 1992, stars Jeff Goldblum and Mimi Rogers, the script is very witty, almost pushing the brink of dark comedy. This is definitely a dialog heavy comedy with smart written all through it. It moves at a wonderful little pace, it almost feels like watching a live stage play, cinematography is simplistic and perfect giving great focus on the actors and letting their performance shine rather than spif it up with drastic camera angles and dramatic lighting. I find many of the lines wonderfully executed with Goldblum's craft, the kind you feel like quoting with friends later on. Commonly unheard of from people i've polled, but highly recommended.

monkey-man I bought this movie in a platinum 10 DVD pack for $9 dollars but i would of payed $15 dollars for this movie on its own.The movie stars off with Jeff Goldblum who is unhappy with his marriage and decides to take his wife on a holiday to where they had there honeymoon and kill her.Jeff Goldblum does a great job acting in this film and if u like him you should watch the fly,jurassic park and independence day.The film has its funny bits and normal bits and it is a must see movie u should rent it or buy it if $15 dollars or less.Over all the movie has a good plot which never gets boring and it is a really enjoyable film my rating is 6 out of 10.

Boba_Fett1138 This movie is rather unknown (only 85 vote on IMDb at the moment) and it should stay unknown.The movie is very simple. It's very predictable and for a comedy it has very few laughs. Also the style itself is simple and about as average as it can be. The story is not really good and doesn't always flow or makes sense and is filled with some rather big plot-holes.Jeff Goldblum on the other hand is good and comically talented and so is Burt Kwouk's (Cato from the "Pink Panther" series) in his small but fun role. But quite frankly all of it is not good enough to save this movie.It is no disaster but it's not recommendable either.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Captain Ed This is one of the films which cause my wife to hide my remote from me, so that she doesn't have to endure any more of my weird movie selections. After this film, I have more sypmathy for her.** Some Spoilers**Normally I like both Jeff Goldblum and Mimi Rogers, but in this film Goldblum annoyed the hell out of me. His stream-of-consciousness, stammering blather appears in almost every scene. His mannered performance serves to attract attention to Goldblum and not the story itself. Not only would this repulse normal people from ever conversing with him, it feels like a fakey way to produce internal dialogue. We spend 90% of the film thinking that Pigeon is more of a Weasel than anything else, and suddenly we're supposed to say 'Awwwww' as they hug and kiss and make up (twice) at the end. Both the audience (and his wife) are supposed to conveniently forget that he planned her cold-blooded execution and only missed out on doing it because she abruptly left him first.Mimi Rogers lends her glowing screen presence to this limp noodle of a film, but her straightforward portrayal unfortunately accentuates the weirdness of Goldblum's; either both should have played it straight or both should have jumped off the deep end together. As a result, she winds up looking like she's waiting for Goldblum to take a breath at mid-bite (on the scenery, natch) to quickly inject her dialogue.Very little fits in what should have been a taut and funny thriller of sorts. The detective is made to appear as a buffoon when he is actually GETTING EVERYTHING RIGHT. All Pigeon does with his friends is berate them for not doing enough for him, and they act like they agree with him. His wife goes off on a hike in terrain so rough that a guide is required, but then we see her at a perfectly accessible campsite wearing walking shorts and a flannel shirt, not to mention the platoon of policemen clad only in uniform following Pigeon up the trail. We're supposed to be amused when minor characters are interviewed on TV saying how strangely Pigeon acted -- after everyone assumes his wife is dead -- but he WAS acting strangely, so strangely that you wonder why no one reported him to the police while he was staying at the resort.It's not an awful, 'Battlefield Earth' disaster, but it's not good at all. I give it a 3.
