Summary: Good movie, disappointing DVD
Review: This film is difficult to classify: Comedy? Black comedy? Social commentary? However, in judging a film, I believe it is unimportant whether the film expresses or remains true to its particular genre. I also believe that insisting on the movie having "a point" is indicative of limited, two-dimensional thought. (What is the point of a Monet?) Instead, I ask how well it held my attention and interest, and how much it made me reflect afterwards. This movie accomplished all of these. While it is not a great film - it did not make me see life in a new way - it is a good film. The ending is weak, and the photography is only average. However, the acting is superb, and the script tickles the imagination. The DVD, on the other hand, is only acceptable because of the lack of features. Four stars for the movie, two-and-a-half for the DVD.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: way overrated....
Review: This is a bad movie -- slow, poorly directed, indifferently acted, and mostly unfunny. Any episode of "The Sopranos" has more to offer Mob movie fans and aficionados of black humor.

Raised a star for Anjelica Huston, who delivers far and away the best performance in the film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: kathleen turner
Review: This is a great movie. It has substance, it has style, it has humor, and it has some excellent acting (my favorites are W. Hickey in the role of the family don and A. Huston as the black sheep of the family). Nothing new about these facts, every review on this page will tell you similar things. I would like to point something else out - did anybody else notice just how extraordinary beautiful Kathleen Turner was in this movie? For example that scene where don talks to her in the garden and tells her she has to pay the other half of the money back to the family... I think, no - I am 100 percent sure, this is the most beautiful face I've ever seen in any movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but the Ending Was Disappointing!
Review: This movie was good and I liked the majority of it and thought Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner were both great and so was Angelica Huston but I didn't like the ending, I have to agree with the guy who said it just ended, it ended rather abrubtly and just seemed so unfinished. But that is my opinion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but The Ending Is Disappointing!

Summary: An absolute waste of time!
Review: What is the deal here? Why does everyone love this movie? It sucked! The music is depressing, the story is absurd, and Jack Nicholson did not deserve any award. To tell you the truth, this movie shouldn't have even been released! WHAT IS THIS FILM'S POINT? Sorry people, but the guy who gave it one star is the only one here who knows what he's talking about. As for the rest of you, who knows?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Deplorable!
Review: Why such a big deal was made about this film, I'll never know. It is not entertaining, not funny, not suspenseful, and has a terribly confusing plot. I don't give a crap about the good reviews, best picture nomination, and the people all around telling you to see it. Take my advice and DON'T!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Black Comedy EVER!!
Review: Yes, it's better than Fargo, and in my opinion Dr. Strangelove (although I loved both of those movies). It's got great acting, perfect story and it deals with the mob, what more could you ask for. The ending is great as well, but I won't spoil it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To Mr. Deplorable...
Review: You just don't understand good filmmaking, do you
