Summary: Twisted Oedipus Complex
Review: I never saw the movie before I bought it, all I knew that Norman Reedus was in it and that I loved him in Boondock Saints and Blade II.
The people are wonderfully cast ~ not only Norman Reedus, but Deborah Harry as Harry's mother is a quirky Jewish mother and Adrien Brody is a wanna-be gangster to the point of ridiculousness. I loved Elina Lowensohn in the part as Iris.
It's a decidedly twisted combination of Jewish mob, Ohio, and a mama's boy...Very strange, but in this case it works ~ in an unusual way.

Summary: excellent!
Review: i really enjoyed this movie. i must admit that i only bought it because of deborah harry's acting in it, and i wasn't expecting much, but i was pleasantly surprised. i don't understand why this is billed as a comedy, though. please explain. but anyway, it's great. it really gets to you, and even though deborah is totally de-beautified, she's beautiful. buy this movie. you won't regret it. i'll have to agree with another reviewer: perhaps it's not for the english.

Summary: A Twisted and Innovative Inversion of the word "love"
Review: Norman Reedus has to be perhaps one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. From starring roles in the Boondock Saints and minor roles in films like 8mm, he came into his own with this film. Adrien Brody as a wannabe gangster, obviously before playing Vladyslaw and Isaac Hayes in a great cameo...you are shown a twisted tale of mother/son bonding and a blossoming relationship between two young adults with a commonality in their desire for one another. Plenty of violence to consume that crowd...a dark comedy at its finest.

Summary: STRANGE.... for the open minded type!
Review: superstar Deborah Harry of Blondie shows of her acting talent (again) as a manipulative mom....very odd movie, very well made = ENTERTAINING!!!!!

Summary: Adam Bernstein is very good. And he knows it.
Review: The main privilege of the low-budget filmmaking is not having to carry the crashing load of responsibility to everyone for everything. And a director can go several ways from here. He/she can indulge him(her)self in the weird self-expression, giving his/her "insights" the value they do not actually have. Or - just like Mr. Bernstein did - make something uncaringly original, captivating from the first frame to the last. Yes, he uses the ex-pop icon and the male model and their relations are recognizably Psycho, he puts Jewinsh mobsters in his film, he is pop-violent and anashamedly sentimental, he can be accused of borrowing and quoting heavily from different sources. But somehow I feel he is innocent of all the charges that can be made against him. Adam Bernstein helms his film with a steady and assured hand. In our postmodern time he just ignores the dominating trend to disassemble any work of art to see where it's components came from, where they were originally concieved for the first time - if there is such a thing as the first time. If he feels the sitation calls for such and such words and actions - he puts them in disregarding any similarities. There is a lot of violence but it's evidently not gratuitous - and that's refreshing. What I see in this film is an effort of a very mature director to make the movies the way he likes and can. His place on the map is not huge and overflowing but it's very definite.

Summary: tired plot, original characters.
Review: This film blunders with the same old main plot, but the characters and subplot are what make this film shine. I would've given more stars, but upon a 3rd viewing found it to be ALMOST lacking. It isn't bad, though. Plus Elina Lowensohn and Debbie Harry rock the hell out of things. If you like either of these two gals, as I do, you will be most happy!

Summary: Deb's Delight
Review: This film is a must for any Blondie fan, and for anyone who likes a great movie, with some stunning performances. Gansters, murder, incest.. just a simple tale of every day life.
Rating: 
Summary: make that ZERO stars!!
Review: This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Not because it is (supposedly) "disturbing" or "controversial"...there's nothing new here in that respect...but because it is a poorly written, filmed and acted piece of garbage. Don't waste time of money.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: This may have been the worst movie I have ever watched. Debbie Harry was miscast; the plot was immature and silly; the acting was wasted and the direction went nowhere. The movie couldn't decide if it was a "black comedy" or the escaped vision of a drug induced writer.
