Summary: GENIUS!!!
Review: I saw this movie on a Tuesday and then every day for the next week. It was more than witty, more than funny and more than brilliant! It's been a long time since we have seen anything fabulously original from Hollywood. John Cusack has confirmed my long held belief - he is a genius! We need more movies like this! Excellent in every way and only capable of getting better with every viewing. I should know, I've seen it more times than I care to reveal!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: WOW... the best movie I've ever seen in the theatre & home!!
Review: Cusacks make a wonderful comeback in this picture. John & Joan are so great together and seem to bounce their talents off of each other. very funny. Very orignial. Love interest between John and Minnie is very believable and inspiring. Did i say WOW already?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If God had a name, what would it be ? JOHN CUSACK
Review: The best movie i`ve ever seen. Forget Tarantino and all others... BUY IT AND LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smart, funny, quick dialogue!
Review: Positively love the quirkiness of this dialogue and all the performances!! The blow up of the Ultamart has me laughing even before it happens -- and the Pulp Fiction cutout is a treat. To anyone who has EVER attended a school reunion (or as Jeremy Piven calls it the "I've peaked and I'm kidding myself party"), you'll see a few people you know! (And who is the actress who plays Mrs. K? She's great!) Consistently funny and entertaining. How could you not love John Cusack?!?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Half-great
Review: This is like two separate movies -- the hit man black comedy starring John Cusack, Dan Akroyd and whoever plays Cusack's secretary, which I would unreservedly give 5 stars, and the insipid romance starring John Cusack and Minnie Driver, which bogs down the action every time Minnie and her chipmonk-like jowls appear on the screen. Coulda been another "Repo Man" (well, not quite) if Hollywood didn't feel compelled to insert True Love into every computer-generated plot, even where it is completely out of place and makes no sense whatsoever. Have Cusack be hired to knock off his old prom date, and actually waste her without batting an eye, and you're talking a 5-star classic. Worth seeing, but not something I'd want to own. Spend your hard-earned moola on "Repo Man."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's my favorite movie ever...
Review: Every scene in John Cusack's movie (he co-wrote, co-produced and stars in it) helps to make it the best movie of the last dozen years. It's the best human comedy that I've ever seen and the elements of romance and violence make amazingly watchable. I could literally see this movie every week. The humor still makes me laugh ouot loud and the "discovering yourself" plot almost brings tears to my eyes. Plus, the use of color and music to enhance the scenes and really highten the level of emotion. It's an outstanding film. My favorite and hopefully one of yours.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is John Cusack's greatest movie thus far.
Review: I have admired Mr. Cusack as an actor for many years now, and I think that Grosse Pointe Blank is his best work so far. He has gone from playing lovelorn-teenager type characters to this mature, thoughtful, well-developed character. He is a hitman who is having second thoughts about his choice of career, and the movie is about the results of that dilemma. It not only retains the comedic quirks characteristic of Mr.Cusack's movies, but plays them to the fullest without being over the top. Also, there are several members of the Cusack family in the movie: Joan Cusack plays Marcella the secretary, another sister, Anne, plays Amy(the new mother at the reunion), and Bill Cusack has a short appearance as a waiter in the Hippo Club. Minnie Drive, Dan Aykroyd, Jeremy Piven, and a host of others all turn in excellent performances as well. I give this movie five stars out of five

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grosse Pointe Blank is the best!!!
Review: I love this movie! It is THE BEST! It has everything from comedy to romance to action. Not too mention the fact that it has John Cusack! Minnie Driver is also great in this movie. And Dan Akroyd cracks me up. And who could forget John's awesome sister Joan. She is very funny. If I could only have one movie, it would be Grosse Pointe Blank because it is great for whatever mood you are in. My advice...BUY IT!!!
