Summary: Cameron Diaz is amazing!
Review: One more unbelievable film by Cameron Diaz.
The story is a little violent and perhaps boring when you don't see Diaz, but buy this movie anyway.
You can't help having tears in your eyes when you think that Cameron is dead!! It would be such a lose for the world!

Summary: This movie is bad.
Review: One of the worst movies ever created. Even the "R" rated version seems chopped-up and the story flows right into the toilet. Absolutely terrible. Don't think about buying or renting this garbage. Diaz is hot, but everyone seems to have forgotten that there is a plot, and that some storyline needs to be conveyed. Think "The National Lampoon's Vacation" cast trying to kill each other, only without the wit and script of that movie.

Summary: Reeves at his best
Review: Reeves delivers a great performance as the dude with a typo in his name(weird but cool). He returns home to find his older brother getting married to Cameron Diaz and then he steals her and some other stuff and wants to leave but he cant, whats stopping him. fights clash between him and his brother, seriously played by Vincent D'Onofrio. a good movie with great moments and a good cast including Max Perlich, Dan Aykroyd and Delroy Lindo to name a few. Two Thumbs Up is right.

Summary: OK; Best for Keanu fans
Review: Sorta like a simple love story lost in a lowlife doublecrossing (vaguely "pulp fiction"ish) tale. It gets tedious following whos cheating who after awhile, but Keanu is charming (really sweet), Diaz is surprisingly effective, and rest of the cast is game...the cast saves it. Too bad about the script..overall pleasantly mediocre.

Summary: Awful
Review: There was no plot. The acting was bad. Why I rented this movie is beyond me.I couldn't sit right through to the end of the movie. It was too painful.

Summary: A tale of transformation.
Review: This is a remarkable movie, not only in it's unusual and very funny way of making the points that it does, but in that it is written from a point of view that is almost never seen from the all-too-privileged aristocracy to which most of the movie industry's writers and directors belong. This movie is almost painfully insightful into the mental state of hopelessness which traps people into sordid lives, particularly those who are raised in that sort of life and have never experienced anything else. The characters Jjaks and Freddie not only manage to envision a way out, together they fight their way to some measure of freedom in the end. They do so using the only tools and behaviors they know, which means that it is all very sordid indeed, but their goals are so much more noble than anything that could be expected from that environment, that it is very close to a miracle that they exist at all. It should be noted that those characters who have chosen to embrace the sordid life instead of resist it are relatively thriving at the beginning of the film (Sam, Ben Costikyan, etc.) Jjaks, who has been to prison before, may once have been like them, but if so, something must have happened to change him (before the story in the movie?). The movie shows Jjaks' transformation, opening his capacity for compassion and love for another, and finally gaining the courage to hope. Keanu Reeves really nails his character admirably, playing someone who feels more than is really safe to feel in his environment, and has developed a deeply engrained habit of hiding his feelings. Look carefully for the use of color to symbolize the different stages in his transformation, and the meaning of the dog too.

Summary: Good one
Review: This is quite nice movie, so I don't get it why it only has 3.5 stars average at this time. I like it and I am going to watch it again.

Summary: From Minnesoder wit luv, ya know.
Review: This movie is a good test of your ability to understand movies. It's a wonderfully engaging black comedy. The characters are all quircky, twisted and have well developed individualistic traits that make viewing into a strange voyeurist exercise. If your movie tastes demand spaceships, Terminators or Cops N Robbers in shootouts, you will be sorely disappointed and find this a movie without meaning. If however, you have the ability to sit and watch a good, engaging, "independent"-flavored movie and watch some major stars trying out thier acting licks in a different role, and you can enjoy an offbeat plot... you will love this sucker. I've watched it a dozen times and still enjoy it.

Summary: The funny moments just aren't enough
Review: This movie opens with a flashback of two young brothers (played as adults by Reeves and D'Onofrio) beating the stuffing out of each other. Take it as a warning; no one-no one-gets out of this movie without suffering at least one major beatdown. Diaz is Freddie, a sewer-mouthed local girl who is forced to marry D'Onofrio to settle a debt. Reeves comes back to town for the wedding and falls for Diaz, and the two decide to hit the road rather than suffer another day in Minnesota. Messy sex and messier violence ensue as D'Onofrio follows them, presumably to reclaim his bride and have several more scuffles with Reeves.The most that can be said for Diaz's one-note performance (her character's life goal is to be a topless dancer in Vegas) is that she doesn't get in the way of Reeves and D'Onofrio. The latter two work hard to make their respective characters conflicted and deeper than what must have been in the script. Jacks (Reeves) wants to live a clean life after several stints in prison, and he worries about starting up with Diaz because "eventually everything [good] turns [bad]." Meanwhile, Sam, (D'Onofrio) truly hopes that a forced marriage can be strong-armed into a happy home, complete with a suburban house he's purchased by very foolishly skimming cash from his nasty boss. Unfortunately, the few funny scenes and the car-accident curiosity of seeing Courtney Love play a waitress just aren't enough to make this movie worthwhile.
