MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Davalon-Davalon A friend gave us the option of several movies to view after he served Thanksgiving dinner. This was one. If I had stumbled upon this film on my own, I may have watched a bit of it, but I doubt whether I would have gotten all the way through it. Yes, as my friend said, it was a dark comedy. But I fear it was too dark. The film used as a centerpiece a woman (Parker Posey), mentally unbalanced, with a fixation on Jackie Kennedy (why they called her Jackie-O, I don't know since they were focused on the Jackie Kennedy the day that Jack Kennedy was assassinated) and her twin brother (Josh Hamilton). The story centers around this sick woman and her unwillingness to let her brother live a normal life. This includes destroying a new relationship with his fiancée (a refreshing Tori Spelling), insulting her kid brother (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and faking out her mother, Genevieve Bujold. All the actors were good. The dialogue consisted of making statements and having other actors repeat the statements as questions or repeat the statements rephrased sarcastically. There were funny moments, no question. But, there was a fair amount of footage used of Jackie Kennedy and John Kennedy on the day of Kennedy's assassination in Dallas in 1963. What was disturbing was seeing the footage of the time period just shortly before John Kennedy was killed. I found it be deeply upsetting and I was not sure why it was necessary. This is NOT a Thanksgiving film. It is a very dark indie comedy to be viewed when you have NOTHING to do, and it is NOT the holiday season. Seeing it once is enough and you will not forget it. Whether that is a compliment or not, I will leave up to you.

Irishchatter What kind of filth is this? Who would be bothered watching it? It's the worst film out there. We are talking about a girl who thinks she's 'the' Jackie Kennedy and at the same time, she's a psychopath who wants to kill her brothers fiancé. For what reason? Absolutely nothing because she's just a whiny silly woman who needs to get a life! Honestly, it's the most stupidest film on the planet and lemme tell ya, I can say a thousand words to describe how awful this movie truly is!I would imagine the real Jackie Kennedy looking at this and think it's the worst movie to even talk about her. I say, she would be disappointed that Parker Posey's character is copying her and believe me, she probably would file a lawsuit! It's such a poorly made film, it's even a bad reputation for the real Jackie Kennedy! Please don't waste your time looking at this, it's disgusting!

gmonger As anyone who has read my reviews knows, I like to promote movies that, by no fault of their own, no one seems to have heard of. House of Yes is one of them.This is a dark comedy about a strange family, but it hits with every scene where they attempt humor. The lines are irreverent, witty, cutting, and hilarious. Parker Posey IS THE MOVIE. As great as Genevieve Bujold is, and she is, Parker still is the movie. Even Tori Spelling is great, and how many Tori Spelling movies do you know of? If you like a comedy that has so many quotable lines coming at you fast and furious, see this movie. You will most likely re watch it again , as you have to to process all the great , hilarious lines coming at you and the Daffiness of Parker Posey. If you like to laugh, SEE THIS FILM.

joe_lvn This is one of the most perverse and disturbing black comedies I've seen. And also one of the most well written, well acted and hilarious. I enjoy watching a film that is like watching a stage play (which of course this was based upon). Parker Posey is great as always, as well as everyone else. I thought Tori Spelling was surprisingly good as the "innocent" yet "not so innocent" fiancée. This is the best "dysfunctional family" film I've seen. An extremely offbeat and very funny...satire? Not for everyone, but much more intelligent and clever than most movies today. A great and very underrated film. And I might add, one of the best films of the 1990's.
