Summary: Torn between one star and five...
Review: Dear Reader,
Was this the worst movie I've ever seen? Yes! Do I highly reccomend seeing it? Yes! The movie was so bad it made me laugh. I especially loved how all the backgrounds were actually pictures of cafes with heads in front of them. I didn't appreciate at all. I mean, I don't even think if it had been produced by and insanely rich person and given a huge budget it would have survived, but its poor quality makes it quite amusing. So go ahead and see it, but I see no reason why you should buy it.Sincerely,
Me, tears of disgust and joy

Summary: Go man Gogh!
Review: Enjoy this whimsical story showing Van Gogh transported into modern time to get a second chance. What he discovers is that his art is highly valued and since he never sold a painting in his lifetime, he seeks to reclaim his work and in the process falls in love! Lots of fun esp. watching Sally Kirkland as a relentless detective seeking to bust this mental case who believes he is truly Van Gogh!

Summary: quirky, fun film
Review: I gotta give this film 5 stars, if only to even up the odds.
Can't believe the people out there slamming it with only
1 star--they are worse than the savage critics attacking
"Vincent's" LA work....this film is a fantasy anyway, who cares if he wakes up in CALIFORNIA instead of his place of burial
in Europe....it's all about art and MADNESS and the intersections
in between...I thought this was a very cute "indie" film
and much better than mainstream hollywood schlock. It's a decent evenings entertainment..rent it.

Summary: Vincent... Oh Vincent
Review: I rented this movie on the advice of a friend.I saw the cover last time I was in the video store and thought it looked interesting. I was so taken by this movie. No car crashes, no violence, just a great uplifting movie with a sweet story and a terrific cast. Make yourself a big bowl of popcorn, sit back and enjoy what has become quite rare these days...quality storytelling!

Summary: A delightful way to view a bit of history and possibility.
Review: I rented this video for my 10 year old son who is a fan of Van Gogh. Although, I will admit it wasn't the "deepest" film I ever saw, it certainly entertained us. It highlighted some of Van Gogh more famous paintings with little "insights" into Van Gogh's intentions while painting them. This film encouraged my son to learn more about other artists in a similar manner and that is value that beats out traditional TV and video games!

Summary: Good laughs, Terrible movie
Review: I think that this film proves, if anything, that anybody can convince others to fund any screenplay. So in a sense I suppose this film offers hope to filmmakers everywhere. Check it out. Airy and with good intentions, this film may entertain you by its terrible screenwriting, acting, and direction.

Summary: NOT what I expected.
Review: I was really looking forward to seeing this movie since a long time ago. I was expecting more... there are a lot of inconsistencies. Why was Vincent brought back to life in California?! Where did he get all his paints, canvases, out of thin air??? Just like that. He always had his pipe - but it was never lit! That kind of details. The Vincent character (the REAL Vincent) is a really strong one and I don't think the Vincent in this movie fills his shoes. The Vincent here does a lot of things the real one would never do. Or vice-versa. Kirk Douglas did a way much better Vincent in "Lust for Life". Still, it was done with very good intentions, the music is good, and I liked the "new" Vincent paintings (by a painter called Jim Barry). In a nutshell, not bad, good story (I'm a Van Gogh lover anyway), but don't expect too much.

Summary: STARRY NIGHT
Review: I've seen all the "serious" Van Gogh movies extant as he is one of my very favorite painters. It would be silly to try and compare this movie to any of them as it has a very different aim. This is a very whimsical fairy tale based on the idea of what would happen if Vincent came back. What would he think of the prices that his art now goes for? What would he think of the buyers of his work? Would he ally himself with starving artists needing the help he needed in his own lifetime? I found these very provocative questions and the movie examines how Vincent would answer those questions if he had 100 days to live again in modern day LA. Don McLean sings his ode to Vincent over the credits and that is very nice too. I'm sure this was shot on a shoestring budget but that adds to its rather offbeat charm. I'm an artist and that may have influenced my liking of this film. An art collector might not like this film much though as Vincent does not think much of them (which is fairly consistent with his view in his own time). If you have Van Gogh high up on a pedestal, I would advise you to skip this movie. There is nothing exalted about this movie at all and that's why I liked it.
