Really Surprised!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The first must-see film of the year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

As a fan of David Bowie, when I rented this ages ago, I watched it over and over again. This movie isn't the best, it lacks any substance at all. It plays as a whimsical, fly-by-night, fluffy (as someone on here already said) film. The humor is mostly unfunny. However, the film manages to be very entertaining and energetic none the less, and of course, there is David Bowie who makes it all worthwhile! To sum it up: watch it on cable. I give it 5/10.

This is almost a "screwball comedy", but not quite. The pacing is slower. The characters do and say silly things, but only after careful deliberation. Everyone in this movie is so cute you want to rub noses with them. No knee-slappers, but lots of chuckles and smiles. This is a good movie. This is a nice movie. It has a happy ending, which is rare these days. Bowie's acting was competent but unremarkable. I think it was nice to see a "steady-eddie" in the role. It's almost a conventional story with trappings of a farce. The audience knows it a farce. The players know its a farce. The players know that the audience knows its a farce. Therefore we all enjoy ourselves.

David Bowie is fairly promising as a bartender frantically searching for a green card. He meets a contortionist/hopeful escape artist and she and him begin an affair.The hijinks of trying to get a green card aren't that funny and the film doesn't move too quick at all. Plot points introduce themselves towards the end of the movie and nothing really gets resolved. But, other than that, it's a light hearted film that would warrant watching, that is if you're a Bowie fan.There are some good roles, played by Buck Henry and Marlee Matlin, but the script doesn't do the actors' justice. The music isn't too bad, a good score as usual from Thomas Newman, alumni of The Player and Shawshank Redemption fame.It's just one of those romantic comedies with a twist! Nothing much else to it really.Five out of ten.

Ok. This was such a classic tale of Romance. I loved this movie. Lucy was the coolest chick. She was a Houdini lover. Monte was fine as hell. Duh! I mean he was played by David Bowie! Of course he was fine!!!I really think that this movie was great. It kept twisting. One minute you think Monte was crazy, the next a romantic schmuck. (hehe) This movie is a good one to see.
