5.0 out of 5 stars A COMIC MASTERPIECE, October 26, 2010

IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH AND BE ENTERTAINED, THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU. I NOTE THAT IT DIDN'T MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF A FEW REVIEWERS WHO APPARENTLY HAD TROUBLE DETERMINING WHETHER IT'S A LOVE STORY OR A COMEDY, BUT IT WASN'T A PROBLEM FOR ME. IT'S A SCREWBALL LOVE-COMEDY IN THE STYLE OF THE 1930'S AND ABSOLUTLEY EVERY ACTOR WAS PERFECTLY CAST. JACK NICHOLSON HAS NEVER BEEN FUNNIER AND THIS MOVIE IS A KEEPER. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HASN'T GOTTEN MORE RECOGNITION. IF I COULD PERSONALLY MAKE A MOVIE, I'D WANT IT TO BE LIKE THIS. RUN, DON'T WALK, TO BUY THIS FILM.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take your choice: Romance or Comedy, April 20, 2001

This review is from: Man Trouble [VHS] (VHS Tape)

MAN TROUBLE gets 4 **** from me because the dogs didn't upstage the actors. I've never cared for romantic comedies which make you decide to choose between romance or comedy. That was the problem with this movie. I chose comedy and got lot of enjoyment from the 100 minutes watching Nicholson, the conster, spar his wits with Barkin, with his Asian wife, with . . . well, with the rest of the cast. I'll be watching this movie from time to time as there are many memorable scenes such as Barkin trying to give the "guard dog" commands in German. Bev D'Angelo, fruitcake mobster ex-wife,furnishes some wacko dialogue and comedy scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great..., June 1, 2010

Man Trouble..... is one of the most entertaining movies that I have ever seen... I treasure it as a very important part of my DVD collection... One of the best performances of Jack Nicholson and Ellen Barkin.
