5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, GREAT MOVIE WITH THE EXCELLENT MARY KAY PLACE.., September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Manny & Lo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Manny and Lo is another good argument for Independent movies. The characters are like every day people. They do really messed up things but are basically very good people, just like in real life. This movie doesn't have the simple answers and simple situations that most Hollywood films seem to have way too often. But mostly this film has great performances. The two lead characters are portrayed beautifully by two very young actresses. But my real love is the very underrated actress Mary Kay Place. She is so good in every role, from Pecker to the Big Chill. Give This woman more film work. Not all roles, for women past 40, need to go to Streep.

This review is from: Manny & Lo (DVD)

Scarlett Johannson and Aleksa Palladino play sisters "Amanda" and "Lauren", two foster kids, in this off-beat story. They kidnap a nurse-type (Mary Kay Place) to help them with Lauren's pregnancy. The movie is a bit quirky and the dialog is quite good. The movie did not have any Oscar-caliber aspects to it, but it was entertaining, however.

The DVD itself has a good image quality, but there were no features other than scene selection, and a trailer to 3 other movies. It was over-priced (at $22) for what you get, but at a lower price, or if you are a fan of any of the three lead actresses, it may be worth it to you.

I saw Manny and Lo for the first time on the OXYGEN channel earlier this year and fell in love with it. The movie is very entertaining and funny at times, I'm so glad that it is finally coming out on Dvd! I'm going to be at the front of the line buying this one when it comes out in January.
