Summary: I LIKED IT
Review: I must say that I went to see this movie because Kevin Spacey was in it but I wasn't disappointed, as usual he does a great job. This film shows you that just a great cast and a good script makes a brilliant movie, not need for any special effects or great locations. This is pure joy, a little jewel. I can't wait to see next Kevin Spacey's film: "Ordinary Decent Criminal".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: See it again
Review: Several reviewers, and probably many viewers, have found this movie boring. Perhaps they should watch again, or perhaps they are not very deep individuals. It may help to watch it alone. This is a study of character and of existential philosophy and the conflicts arising from individuals having different perspectives. There's much more here than meets the eye and ear, if you are willing to delve. And if you are so willing, you will be rewarded. If you are not willing (or capable) to delve, then you may likely be ... well, bored (though it should still be entertaining). Even the humor is intellectually subtle, lying slightly below the surface of the obvious.

Danny De Vito's soliloquy, though technically not, because it is spoken to the rookie salesman who is not in view, is delivered as the camera zooms ever closer into the face of the actor, and is the crux of the message, the highlight of the movie, and a wonderful screen moment. Go watch it again...ALONE.

I will concede that I was somewhat irritated by the hokey "Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul" admonitions that segue from the movie to the credits at the end. Though some of these are interesting, and clever, this touch was bit pretentious. I'd rather have remained in the partial reverie where the movie had left me. I found this last touch to be intrusive.

Still, I can go back and find it ...again. I recommend you try it.

Summary: Boring!
Review: Kevin spacey was right!"This is it?This is f****** it?"

Well I was in a video store one time and my father showed it to me one saturday night as my friends were coming over.but they didnt wanna watch so i watched it.In the middle I FELL ASLEEP!when it was over i claimed "this is boring."

If you are going to watch a good Danny Devito movie,watch "Throw Momma from the train",or "twins" etc.
