Dominick and Eugene

Rating:
Summary: Engaging, endearing, entertaining, everything.
Review: Tom Hulce is in fine form as Dominick, the mentally retarded brother of Eugene (Ray Liota). Eugene is struggling to become a doctor, while Dominick is struggling with life itself. Dominick dreams of going to Wrestlemania, his hero is The Hulk, and his best friends are a sleazy garbageman and a young boy. Eugene takes care of his brother at all costs, even stifling his love life with his girlfriend (played by Jamie Lee Curtis). It's a warm, touching, inspirational, and often funny look at the lives of these two brothers. Get out your hankies and watch it.

Summary: A Heartfelt Tear Jerker with Terrific Performances
Review: WOW. If you've never seen this movie, grab a hankie, or a box of them, and be prepared to be touched through your soul. Ray Liotta proves why he is one of our generation's best actors, while Tom Hulce impresses in a way he hasn't done since "Amadeus." I'm one of those folks who absolutely hated the heart string pulls of "Terms of Endearment" which I found manipulative in a not-so-good-way. This flick, in comparison, never works against the viewer, by making us choose a "bad guy" or be antagonistic towards the victim. Therein lies its beauty - this tale of two brothers refuses to victimize either one of them and is therefore startling in its effectiveness. Critics panned the flick during an era where grown men could not cry and get away with it. Today, the message is just as powerful, only men CAN cry without being labeled as anything less than men. This story of two men whose lives are eternally tied together despite their own challenges, hopes and dreams, is a valentine to brotherhood, fraternity and family. In these times of war, "Dominick and Eugene" reminds us what it means to be a family. A wonderful movie you will treasure forever. Just keep the hankies on hand since you're bound to use them.
