A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I borrowed this DVD from a friend who actually had a small part in this disastrous film. I honestly had to FORCE myself to sit through the whole thing because after all, my friend WAS in the movie & I wanted to be able to truthfully say I'd "watched" it in its entirety. A few 15 year old teens could have created, directed & produced a far superior film than the this dung. I actually liked what Lee Majors, Gary Busey & Margot Kidder have done in their past; but partaking in a movie of this caliber (or lack thereof) begs they are washed-up &/or desperate.I'm @ a loss, as to where I should even begin describing this ill-conceived, convoluted mess of a movie. The flick starts off with two guys sitting on a barstool, whereby Matt recounts a demented affair with his estranged ex. Then the disgruntled dude enlists the aid of Gabor, who threatens to rape some pregnant chick & then sexually violate the newborn baby! As they say, "And the beat goes on..."In short, the poor excuse for a film begins & ends horribly- with NOTHING gratifying in between. My caveat to anyone reading this is simply this: If, for some inexplicable reason, you feel compelled to buy this movie or even waste the $$$ downloading it, do yourself a huge favor & watch the trailer for free on YouTube. You'll certainly see what I mean & be thanking me later...

The lead up to the end of this film was great in that it was very confusing but all came together to make great sense. Well done by all cast and crew. Getting to see Margot Kidder doing her thing after all these years was a true treat. Director Nicholas Gyeney took this team and had them grab all the right timing to make an excellent performance all the way around. And if you have yet to see this film, you with die with laughter when you see Margot Kidder rockin' it out in all her glory. Gary Busey did not need much time to bring what was needed to crush it! Ultimately, I don't think I could ever go back to getting a regular haircut after the,"Six Million Dollar Man" gave it a go! Good job, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes about next!

When I found out Edward Furlong would be featured in "Matt's Chance" at my local Film Festival, I jumped at the chance. His role is a departure from some of his most critically acclaimed performances, but Furlong being an artist and not just an actor, makes it a memorable ride. He plays one of those pudgy, vulnerable, underdog characters you'd see in a Seth Rogen character....you find yourself rooting for him even when he finds himself not doing the "right thing", actual or imagined. He's supported throughout the movie by some well-meaning, if not detrimental, characters. I think we'll be seeing a lot more out there of Edi Zanidache who plays gangsta wanna-be Daddy (Father) Dave. Brilliantly energetic and funny. And Margot Kidders performance...well maybe I wasn't expecting much ...which is why she truly blew me away as Mother Mabel! Her performance was so earnest...I wish there were more of her in this film. Completely under- rated and perhaps forgotten as the artist that she is...she was just fantastic. And as quirky as Busey is in real life, there's still no mistaking, he is a Master performer. There are some scenes that will stick with you and make you chuckle for days, like the over- dosed paranoid Bunny scene. The whole thing felt like a meth-trip ride...not just the scene, the movie itself. If you like off-kilter comedy with a dark and ballsy edge, go see this Film.

Excellent movie with an interesting twist ending.Great characters and great performances by all.Edward Furlong was great as Matt.Lee Majors, Margot Kidder and Gary Busey were all fantastic. Especially Busey, we could have used a little more Gary Busey.Gabor steals the show. Bill Sorice did an outstanding performance. I thought he was hilarious but he never let you forget that he was a dangerous gangster.The Gary Busey scene with Bill Sorice as Gabor was incredible. Don't miss this movie!
