5.0 out of 5 stars NEVER FORGOTTEN, February 26, 2006

By 

S.I.M. "LOVE ME or hate me" (Tustin, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homer and Eddie (DVD)

I still remember this movie after all theses years, and I believed I have only seen this once or twice. It was shown in the best atmosphere...I was up 2 AM or so, and everything is just so quiet at that time. I felt every emotion of this film thoroughly. This movie is one of those gems, and I'm not suprised, because the 80's produced several memorable movies for me. This movie deals with longing, hopefulness, virginity, and some fun. I used to try to look for this movie from time to time, and had forgotten the title. I was irritated , because I remembered the name Eddie, and everytime I'd look it up; the title; Eddie, that basketball movie w/ Whoop would show up, and I'm like NOoooo!!! Well I will continue my search for a dvd, and if not I'll just order the VHS, there is still many good movies which haven't made the switch: The Dummy (starring Levar Burton), Leadbelly, and some others I'd really like to own.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's NOT a comedy movie !, July 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Homer & Eddie [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't get mistaken. It is NOT a comedy movie. Rather a road movie with a bitter taste to it. As Whoopie Goldberg plays a vagrant with a tumor in her head which is slowly killing her and Belushi plays a retard who's in search of his parents who have left him behind in hospital 14 years ago.

This is rather a drama and shows superior acting skills by both main characters. Definitely worth an oscar (but never nominated). So don't go thinking this is a family movie that you can watch during christmas eve !! It is NOT.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than a buddy film - a 'bromance' with a woman., August 6, 2009

This review is from: Homer and Eddie (The Lost Collection) (DVD)

This film is a lovely surprise. It is much more than a buddy film. A "bromance" with a woman.

Andrei Konchalovsky is a director worth watching. He adds a humanism to his works. On the other hand he has some old Russian stuff you may not like, but his American works are worthy pieces of quality movie making.

You get to love these characters. I want to see more of his English language films. I was entertained.

This film features Whoopie and Jim in an odd-ball relationship. It is is so well acted, you forget all the other films you've seen with these actors. They are perfect for each other.

This is not a comedy is the strict sense. It is touching and full. Worth the ride -- a ride in Whoppie's beat up old car.
