Charming and inspirational. Stellar performances from all cast members and a delight to enjoy Robin Williams, Glenn Close, and John Lithgow in these roles. Sorry it took me so long to watch it, the book is beautifully whimsical and hilarious as well as deeply heartfelt and poignant in times like these. 🔥❤️🔥

After all these years (and scandals), this remains one of my Top 20 films what with the gorgeous atmosphere presented by Savannah, Georgia herself and the whole cast of characters. The soundtrack is still a favorite also and it's a delightful romp in a fascinating southern culture.

LOVE David Choe and was over the moon to see that gorgeous face on my screen again. The series is really excellent in it's exploration of the culture and the myriad of hellscapes that LA can be. Funny and dark and deep and disappointing...lots to chew on.

Ladies, this is a delightful. A romp through the REALITIES of "love" and marriage with such superb acting from a stellar cast. This is Marcia Gay Harden at her exquisite best exploring the range of emotions we all can feel as women in modern day society. It was such a surprising delight to come across randomly on YouTube as part of their free library of films (Premium Subscriber tho). I can see why Rotten Tomatoes ratings were so low as this is very much written from a woman's experience and perspective and, thus, quite uncomfortable for men to have to bear witness to. This is what First Wives Club ought to have been. 🔥🤣🔥

Delightful! Light and jovial and a tad inspiring with an excellent cast.

STUNNING. Brutal yet beautiful.

I practically have no words...this movie ruined NYE for me and that's about it. Ugh.

Not surprisingly, Ye Olde Rotten Tomatoes and I disagree again...I'm used to it, they often don't think too highly about films I enjoy tremendously. So much money lining pockets in the industry...but I digress... I love when films can capture the dark underbelly of humanity while also managing to reveal the splendid dignity and honor that resides still, within the human heart. If you love Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Turturro, take some time to enjoy this story. It's worth it. Maybe because I once belonged to a small portion of humanity in a forgotten town, I greatly enjoy such renderings but I really thought this was some quality filmmaking.

Gave National Lampoons a run for their money with a brilliantly stellar cast...

This remains one of my Top 20 films what with it's examination of love and issues of race in the USA...the score is superb and Hopkins, Kidman, Harris, and Sinise are in rare form. I love the cinematography as well, the overall darkness of it speaks to the darkness of the content. Searingly beautiful and heart-wrenching. Because the film is so old now, I'll risk a spoiler alert...the fact that Hopkins character is fired for racist speech is highly ironic considering he is a black man who's lack of melanin caused issues in his formative years and so he decided to live as a white Jewish man to further his career. One is left to draw their own conclusions about how Coleman's story plays out and what he, and those around him, suffer as a result.
