BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Wordiezett So much average

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

callanvass This is a very odd Comedy, that has it's up's and downs, with a decent story, and very good performances, however it's not for everyone. All the characters are decent, and some scenes were very wacky, plus Bruce Willis is simply amazing in this!. Omar Epps is a riot as the obsessed fan of Dwayne Hoover, and Willis is extremely OTT but very funny, plus it's decently made and written. I bought this at a VHS blowout sale for 1$ because I'm a huge fan of Bruce Willis, and well it wasn't quite as funny as I thought it was going to be I wasn't sorry I watched it, and the ending was very well done, plus Nick Nolte especially made me laugh with his bizarre yet very funny performance. I still don't quite know how I feel about this film on a whole, I mean I did laugh a number of times, but I just felt it could have been better, that being said it was still a decent watch, and I loved it when Bruce went all crazy in the finale and started causing hell, plus this has to be one of the wackiest Comidies I have seen. This is a very odd Comedy, that has it's up 's and down, with a decent story, and very good performances, however it's not for everyone, worth the watch. The Direction is decent. Alan Rudolph does a decent job here with not too bad camera work, OK angles and keeping the film amusing and at a fairly fast pace. The Acting is very good. Bruce Willis is amazing as always and is amazing here, he gives an extremely OTT but hilarious performance, as he was always paranoid and acting weird, it was really cool to see him play a different character like this, and he pulled it off with perfection, this is one of my favorite performances he has given! (Willis Rules!!!!!!!!). Albert Finney is very good in his role, he had a cool character I liked him. Nick Nolte is bizarre but very good here, he cracked me up often, and also played a type of character I Hadn't seen him play before, I loved him!. Barbara Hershey is very pretty and did well with what she had to do I liked her. Glenne Headly is good as Francie and did her job well. Lukas Haas is OK as the son, and did his job adequately. Omar Epps stole a lot of the scenes as the obsessed fan of Dwayne Hoover with a similar name, it was especially hilarious when he started cooking food on a Car's engine, I loved his performance!. Vicki Lewis, Will Patton, Owen Wilson,Shawnee Smith and Michael Clarke Duncan all do what they have to do well. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of 5 (almost ***)

mthc529 Maybe I just didn't get it, but I thought this was the worst movie I had ever seen. The story made no sense, it dragged on forever. Some of the best actors on the planet did some of the worst acting I've ever seen. All in all, it was like psychological torture to watch this thing. The only reason I watched the whole movie was because I wanted to see if it could possibly stay that bad all the way through or if it was going to get better. It was a strange state of disbelief, i couldn't believe something could be that bad. It never did get better, it was terrible right 'til the end. At least that's my opinion. In conclusion unless you like death by slow torture, or you're in to really bizarre movies, don't watch this one.

ToplessHarry001 Great movie... No surprise I guess that I'm a big fan of Vonnegut... A writer with the guts to write in an unashamedly cartoon-like, un-politically correct and honest manner, which I personally dig. The take on Harry LeSabre's cross dressing tendencies (the scene with Wayne Hoobler in Harry's office is priceless), Dwayne Hoover's erratic mood swings and the need for Bunny Hoover and his mum to actually be noticed by the main man of the Exit 11 Motor Village were all acted out with tasty character acting skill and delivered with true gusto and appreciation for the material and it's source. Also, the portrayal of the 'cult' of Kilgore Trout (check out the awesome landscape cinematography behind Kilgore's Sci-Fi ramblings), it's followers and all the other reoccurring characters in Vonneguts's Novels, not to mention those hauntingly surreal mirror sequences in the most unlikely of places were simply beautiful...I first saw this movie in the Phillipines with a packed house. I don't know whether whether I was laughing harder at the movie or more at the disgust of the people watching it... I think they saw the R Rating and Bruce Willis's name and figured they were in for some good old Bruce Willis knock em' dead action with a bit of Hollywood sex mixed in for good measure... However by the time Dwayne Hoover was engaged somewhat romantically with his Secretary in the Holiday Inn honeymoon suite the entire theater was empty save for myself and one man who hadn't yet finished his bucket of fried chicken... I guess some people just don't appreciate the combination of middle-aged water bed sex and unruly comb-overs?? This movie wasn't made for everybody, but so what... I think it had to be made this way... It's a testament to a somewhat bizarre, original and funny writer... Personally I really can't fault it... The acting, direction and soundtrack are wonderful... I'd never been so moved by such a corny old song as 'Stranger in Paradise' before I'd seen this film. As they they, it's all in the delivery... As a music producer and part-time sound-tracker I look up to these sort of works with awe... It's about time we stop worshiping actors to the nth degree and start celebrating storytellers once more...Well done Alan Rudolph and Co. Well done world... Makes me happy to be a part of it... And remember, it's all life until you die ;))

mrcaw1 If you go for the more wacky Coen Brothers movies, if you enjoyed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, if Ed Wood is a hero of yours and John Waters films feel like home movies then you're sure to enjoy this SCTV like nutcase of a movie. Bruce Willis turns in his most outrageous film presentation as our hero car salesman Dwayne Hoover having the crackup of a lifetime and through it all his Exit 11 Care Sale tv commercials keep broadcasting over and over and over and over. Hallucinations ,crossdressing, pill popping it's all part of life in Midland City. Costarring, Nick Nolte, Owen Wilson, Glenne Headly, Barbara Hershey & Albert Finney.
