4.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely worth a look!, October 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Erasable You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw this movie at the Las Vegas Film Festival and felt it should have won the prize for comedy but some studio release beat it out. It's a very original movie all about love and money and our status-obsessed culture. I particularly liked the final seconds of the movie in which Timothy Busfield sums it all up with, 'There's no such thing as a free feeling.' You got that right! But, weirdly enough, the movie isn't completely cynical. You'd have to see it to know what I mean and I hope you get the chance.

A black comedy with a nice twist of revenge, October 25, 1999
This review is from: Erasable You [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Fun movie. Great cast and ALOT of interesting charactes. If you like dark humor and poking fun at political correctness, this is a movie for you.

Smart, Funny and Politically incorrect, but with a purpose., October 21, 1999

Your classic boy meets girl, boy looses girl, boy meets new girl, they try to kill old girl, new girl falls in love with assasin story. (Complete with a happy ending).
A demented take on Fargo, with a bit of Airplane style humor. this film satires values, love, the economic desparity between whites and blacks as well as the hypocrysy of almost everyone involved in the film. Timothy Busfield is surprisingly funny in this wicked movie. M. Emmet Walsh (playing type) delivers his usual sarcastic performance and the pace of the film is quite good.
There are some great characters and great lines in this film that make it a must see for anyone with a developed sense of humor.
Perhaps the best character in the film is Jack Henry a bumbling assasin who used to give motivational speeches, but now earns a living attempting to kill people.
If you like comedies in the vein of VERY BAD THINGS, AIRPLANE and anything that could offend someone you will get a big kick out of this one. Definately worth a rental. I'd even buy the tape when the price comes down in the meantime I'm going to go to every video store I can and try to find it, because it sure isn't at blockbuster, but what is?
P.S. I saw it at the Montreal Film Festival (twice).
