Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

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

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

reggienunez Roxanne starring Steve Martin and Daryll Hannah is a cute movie and should be more popular than it is. Shot in a picturesque small town (Nelson BC) which adds to the charm the film is about a Pinocchio nosed new town sheriff(or firefighter I am forgetting) Steve Martin who falls for the new beauty in town played by Hannah. It reeks of charm and reminds us how nice these types of low budget films were- sadly they aren't being made anymore. Go watch it if you can- It isn't a mindblower but a cute, charming film starring the legendary comedian at the height of his power.

John Brooks This isn't a knock on the American people, but for those who may know the actual Cyrano de Bergerac story (the one this is solely based on), with all the effort in the world to give into it this film can only come across as forced, and a hollow reinterpretation of the myth as a mainstream American disposable comedy.Steve Martin does well at times with the dialog (like the famous 'big nose' tirade, in the bar here), but it's just too obvious what he's trying to do, and the entire narrative is too obvious; and although Steve Martin is certainly very pure at heart as a man, and this is another one of his outlets of how much romanticism and sensitivity he has in him, it just falls way short really in the end. Just not convincing, too obvious.It's not awful though but 4/10 as it barely gives the original any original added value.

John austin Steve Martin does Cyrano as a hopeless romantic, intellectual and expert fighter in this breezy and (somewhat) mature romantic comedy. Steve Martin is the long nosed fire chief in a scenic mountain town who falls for the lovely Darryl Hannah, only to have her fall for a good looking but lowbrow fireman. Darryl Hannah is the love interest, and Rick Rossovich is the big dummy that she's initially infatuated with. There's a good supporting cast with Fred Willard and Shelley Duval. Nothing in Roxanne will have you doubled over with laughter, but it's smart and amusing throughout, and it never finds the need to aim low with its comedy. It's easy to watch, and there's some nice Canadian scenery. The movie was shot in British Columbia, and the town they create looks like someplace everybody would want to live. You get good results when you have the right people working good source material. Steve Martin is perfect in this movie even though his comedy is not quite as broad here as a lot of people are used to. It's a refreshing movie to watch today. Roxanne probably is a "minor" film, but it's much better than a lot of the reviews its received.

SnoopyStyle It's a modern interpretation of "Cyrano De Bergerac". C.D. Bales (Steve Martin) is the well-liked fire chief of an incompetent group of guys. Astronomer Roxanne (Daryl Hannah) gets locked out with no clothes on and he befriends her. She's there for the summer. Hot hunky new firefighter Chris McConnell is completely head over heels but he is too stressed out to talk to her. Just when C.D. thinks that she's falling for him, she tells him that she likes the gorgeous Chris.This is such a good rom-com. It hits all the right notes. Steve Martin is hilarious. The chemistry is very delicate here in that none of the characters can come off as the villain. It's important that Roxanne is able to believably fall for Chris and later for C.D. without coming off badly. It's impressive that everything turns out so well. There is good passion. There is sacrifice. The original story hits on the universal notes and Steve Martin adds his humor. His character is not just fun and games. He's actually broken. That makes this such a good rom-com.
