Summary: Felix is in the hos-pit-al!
Review: ...
I don't wait for Christmas to watch this movie, I get it out whenever I need a laugh. Does anyone else find it frightening how exceptional Liev Schreiber is at acting like a woman? I mean, he's fantastic-much better than some other drag queens I've seen. And he dances so well with those stelletto's. And let's not forget Madeline Kahn as Mrs. Munchnick. I love it when Steve Martin asks "Chris", "have you seen a lady in a really bad mood?" And Rita Wilson as the ever innocent yet seductive Katherine (or is it Catherine?) If you have ever had to answer the phone in the name of customer service, you will love this movie. If you find death funny, you will love this movie. If you love anything by Mel Brooks, you will love this movie. Get it for the holidays, enjoy it. Trust me.

Summary: Great cast...
Review: ...great fun...I could not disagree more with the Amazon review or any other negative reviews..Ya just didn't get it...
If you like any of the people in this, esp. Madeline Kahn, you will love it...Anthony LaPaglia and Juliette Lewis are great together, the opposite of her role in Natural Born Killers...
Sentimental, off-beat and VERY funny...Just go with it, don't over-analyze...A few little drinkies and friends might make it more fun for some (like me), but NOT necessary....

Summary: A gem of a sleeper
Review: A masterfully made movie. What makes this slapstick work so well is its restrained, low key pacing. A more energetic pace would have ruined it. The professional critics seem to confuse its slow pace with dreariness, but they just don't get it. True, the characters are melancholy throughout, but that's understandable given the movie's premise. Understated slapstick? Yes. It's hard to market it as an Xmas movie, since it isn't upbeat, but it will bring a wry smile to your face at any time of the year. Great performances all around. The songs in the soundtrack are wonderful! The elegant pacing shows the brilliance of the movie's makers. Well worth buying at the Amazon.com price.

Summary: Still Trying to Decide
Review: Although I own this disc and have enjoyed watching "Mixed Nuts" several times, I am still undecided as to whether the movie is really great or just a decent flick. I lean towards the opinion that it's worth multiple viewings but it tries a little too hard to conjure up mountains of humor from molehill jokes. Everyone loves to laugh at a poor tormented Santa Claus figure running through the streets to the music of the Platter's version of White Christmas, but there's a limit to everything. Steve Martin is caught in a Chevy Chase sort of situation here. You expect top quality, old Saturday Night Live class humor as in "The Jerk," "The Man With Two Brains," and "Three Amigos," but the writers really kind of missed the boat and paid a top performer to star in a role that is not worthy of his talents. But this all-star cast does deliver the goods and creates its fair share of chuckles, and the zany situations they are trapped in are really top-notch in creativity. I just think it could have been developed a little better. "Mixed Nuts" is a 5 star idea with 3 star writers.

Summary: Under Rated and Under Appreciated
Review: Although my husband and I know we are in the minotity, we both love this film and couldn't wait to own it. I have shared it with others and I know that the secret to enjoying it is to be in a good place in your life, happy in your relationships. Unhappy people will not find it funny. Fortunately, we find it funny and endearing.

Summary: A Christmas Tradition
Review: For me this movie has hit my list of movies I watch at Christmas: also on that list are "Christmas Vacation" and "A Christmas Story." I don't understand what was so horrible about this movie. Yes, it's ourageous and silly, but it's Steve Martin and Adam Sandler and Robert Klein and Madeline Kahn all together in one movie. What do you expect? I'm not going to blow the storyline, because it's outragous and hilarious. It never looses momentum at all. Pure comic genius. In the end I feel like a light bulb, I'm just glowing. It's hilarous and at the end it touches a note, it hits and key and you go, "Wow...how true." Although it may get corny at times, who cares, it's a wonderful Christmas comedy that showcases some great comedic talent. Besides Sandler, Martin, Kahn and Klein it also has many other great actors, including Liev Schreiber in drag, Rita Wilson (who's a great actress and nobody knows her) as a depressed confused lonely woman, Juliette Lewis stark raving mad, Anthony LaPaglia playing dimwitted hopeless boyfriend of Lewis and supposively father of her baby, Garry Shandling as the landlord, Parker Posey and Jon Stewart as two outraged rollerbladers, Rob Reiner as neurotic but helpful vet, and Haley Joel Osment as a small child who says, "Look mom, Santa!" Yup, what a wonderful world and what a wonderful movie.
