NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

RavenGlamDVDCollector Six pages of reviews, and after all these years, nobody mentioned the obvious fascination the camera has with legs, feet and footwear. Ain't got no nothing' against some fetishistic fun, hell no, but here it falls flat. It also doesn't stay with what is pretty. The close-up of Ellen's foot as she lies there on the desk, DUCK!Patricia Arquette drew major attention for TRUE ROMANCE, but this is years later. She still has got the legs, but wears what can only be described as a horrendously awful wig with a bad cut that sits askew, and with the coming of age, she looks like she is fast turning into Dame Judi Dench, while she sounds just like Melanie Griffith. Not a recipe for success, in my opinion, though if it floats your boat, you're welcome to it, but I'll pass. Ellen Degeneres further grated. Luke two aircraft carriers scraping together. That much. Was reminded of that other fetishistic movie EXIT TO EDEN that also fell flat, with Rosie O'Donnell (can't be bothered to check up on the spelling, who cares?), you know, unattractive bothersome screen presence waddling like a wrecking crew through the movie...Not at all as good as some reviewers make it. They must have watched some other version. That's the one I should have bought.P.S. Mary-Louise Parker did great!

spiderman_iceman_andfire What an under-rated gem of a film! Why Warner brothers did not push to promote this in 1999 is a mystery to me. Sure, it is a mix of genres. that is what makes a good and interesting film. The cast is just perfect. Patricia Arquette clearly relishes in this role, as the sultry, devious, silly, and obsessive Sandra Dunmore. Here blunt bob haircut says it all. Don't mess with her. As always, her performance makes most of the film, and easily holds the audience attention through each twist and turn. Ellen Degeras is a bit over the top in her role as Rita Pompeno, the over eating and negative detective, however is still funny. If you want to sit back and have fun, mix up a cocktail and watch this film with friends. You will all be smiling.

Pepper Anne Goodbye Lover may start out like pure trashy nonsense what with Don Johnson (as Ben) and Patricia Arquette (as Sandra) running around in the church having enough sex to make a person cross-eyed. The story finally takes off when the characters do more talking and we find out that the couple's affair (Ben's sleeping with his brother's wife) turns awry once Ben decides he's had enough and Sandra's decided that he's not getting off light, even though he'd like to forget the whole mess, her included. But, lo! Someone plunges some forty stories to his (or her) death, someone with a life insurance policy worth millions (of course). Now, if you are literate in modern noir, you know that there is always a financial motive to murder, that more than one person is after the money (including not-so-clean-cut investigators and other law enforcement), and everyone is willing to turn on another (with the body count rising) to get away free with the riches. That's the kind of story we have here, and sometimes it is a little confusing as to what exactly the plan is and just who is in on it, as we are thrown a few clever surprises here and there. Bottom line: trust no one. The movie is pretty funny, despite the creepy characters and their shameful and casual approach to stuffing their pockets. And much of the comedy element comes from Ellen Degeneres who plays Sgt. Pampano, a cynical sarcastic investigator who knows that the inital murder (which set off the other chain of events) is no accident, and that everyone has a darkside, despite her optimistic, and often naive partner, Rollins (Ray McKinnon). It is quite an entertaining thriller, once you get past the first ten minutes or so. Once the victim plunges to his death from the top floor, the movie actually starts to become a pretty interesting, wholly involving story. A funny one, too. Excellent.

Robert Clarke "Goodbye Lover" is not a feel good film, that's for sure!!. In fact it's quite a horrible little film in which every character is a self-absorbed greedy nasty cheat.There isn't anyone in this movie that you will warm to in any way, and that's the whole plots downfall. You have to route for someone, yet here, you wont be able to.The plot centres around a nymphomaniac who is cheating on her alcoholic husbands brother, that is until he finds out and a whole array of incidents and twists unfold. Its watchable and certainly not a dreadful film, but its not one you will ever want to watch again, which is a shame because there are some respectable actors here - but what on earth they ever saw in such a horrible film, God only knows!!
