SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Python Hyena Domestic Disturbance (2001): Dir: Harold Becker / Cast: John Travolta, Vince Vaughn, Teri Polo, Steve Buscemi, Matt O'Leary: Title refers to trauma in a small area with John Travolta starring as a boat manufacturer divorced but maintains a good relationship with his son. His son is known for mischief and the news of his mother's new engagement doesn't help matters. Formula plot regards John Travolta investigating allegations made by his son that her fiancée committed murder. Vince Vaughn plays a public figure with a nasty side whom his son claims burned a body. Formula trash right up to its dumber than dumb climax where certain people just happen to end up in particular places at the right time. Directing by Harold Becker leaves much to be desired. He previously made the terrible Mercury Rising, another film about a kid in pearl. Travolta's role does him little justice as it is just by the numbers. Vaughn always seems to be in particular places at the convenience of the screenplay. Teri Polo is suppose to be blind to common sense. Steve Buscemi is wasted as Vaughn's former associate whom will obviously end up dead. Matt O'Leary plays the kid who reason for focus is to be threatened and being fakely heroic. With nothing surprising or suspenseful, viewers are left with a real yawner. Any theme presented is replaced with disturbance in the form of bullshit. Score: 1 / 10

SnoopyStyle Frank Morrison (John Travolta) is a divorced father of a boy (Matt O'Leary) who is having trouble with the split. His ex-wife Susan (Teri Polo) is getting remarried to Rick Barnes (Vince Vaughn). At the wedding, Ray (Steve Buscemi) from Rick's past raises some suspicions. Rick may not be the nice guy that everybody thinks that he is.It's a thriller filled with all the dangers without any compelling characters. It actually starts with the kid character who is unlikeably angry. He's the key to it all. We need to like him and root for him. Then there is the unimpressive story. It piles everything on without any reservation. It overwhelms. The police work is laughable. The film certainly holds nothing back. There is no subtlety here. This is a too by-the-book thriller that tells you everything that's going to happen in the first 15 minutes.

Shevy1103 Domestic Disturbance starring both John Travolta and Vince Vaughn was a good movie. that is my opening statement. Keep reading for the rest.It was nice. it had many good lines or comments, some were even funny and made me laugh. I laughed several times during this movie. It had great scenery and a great back-story plus a more than adequate script. They could have been a bit more creative instead of basing the movie on classic scenes from so many other movies, but ah well. So, in other words, it was worth watching. I liked it. Others may not have, but I did. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. Besides, it's like this with all movies and everything else in the world. Some like it and some don't. That is just the way it is in this world of ours.The acting was superb on some parts, others (thinking of Vince Vaughn)not so much. Travolta did a good job as he usually does. Mr. Vaughn had an easy role of which he could have done a much better job with (hell, a blind and deaf chimpanzee without any ability to speak could have done a better job), but all in all he did a good job. His character was convincing. And then there is Buscemi, playing Roy. He never lets me down. He is one of those who never do a bad job, not even a little! He is one of the greatest actors there is! So, obviously he did a great, fantastic, awesome and superb job playing his part as the shady yet nice character Roy Coleman.The start was great, the ending not so much, but nothing is perfect anyways. The movie itself was great with the turning points and the characters and everything. I enjoyed it, I did.This is a thriller, obviously. A thriller movie with a little comedy stuffed in it. It was thrilling at times. They could have made it more thrilling, but they didn't, and there is nothing to do about that. A big part of the movie were clichés. Some fit in and made it better, others did not. There were also parts that everyone could see coming, they were easy to foresee, but that doesn't make it bad, but it takes away a part of the thrill of the movie.So, this movie was enjoyable on a late spring night like this one. And after taking all of the things I said about the movie into consideration, I have decided to give this movie, "Domestic Disturbance", 4 stars out of 10 possible.Rating: 4/10.Thanks for reading, goodnight and sleep tight.J.J.

FlashCallahan Susan Morrison gets married to wealthy industrialist Rick Barnes. Danny, her teenage son with ex-husband Frank, isn't happy about this; he stows away in Rick's car one night, planning to go to Frank's house.But while there, he witnesses Rick murdering mysterious stranger Ray Coleman.Problem is, Rick's managed to dispose of most of the evidence, and he's considered a pillar of the community, while Danny has a history of lying.Frank believes him, though, and does some investigating of his own, as Rick's shady past slowly catches up to him and his new family....A movie of the week, gets that little bit better thanks to Travoltas performance and Vaughn on full psycho mode. The annoying things about these films are that you know who the bad guy is, but the red herrings and the narrative of these films just make you want to shout at the screen.As soon as we meet Vaughn, you know the guy is trouble, he offers travolta work and is just too nice, never a good sign. Cracks begin to show when we are introduced to Buscemi, arguably the best thing here. And then Vaughn has a heated game of catch with his new stepson....Bad news.It's all as predictable as the slew of films that were released in the early nineties, pacific heights, unlawful entry, single white female, and nothing new has been added to the mix here to make it different.It's an easy watch, with good performances from the cast, and thats it really.
