4.0 out of 5 stars This film is very funny and a lot like Mrs. Doubtfire!, September 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: True Identity [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was clever, witty, and totally enjoyable. If you liked films with people impersonating others (examples: Two Much, The Associate, Mrs. Doubtfire etc.), this is a film for you. If you can't find it to rent, just buy it. You'll be glad you did.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD...BUT TOO BAD FOR LENNY HENRY, June 29, 2009

I actually bought this copy for a film festival I held for a special anniversary last year. It is actually not a bad film, but because Disney invested heavily on Lenny Henry to strike it big here in the U.S.A. as he is big in his native England, only to fail to do so as a result of this film's box office shortcomings,he was unable to get the toehold here in the States to make it last. This film, which shows off the acting--and comedic--talents of Henry, gives a taste of what might have been if the film had been more accepted in 1991. A good chance for director Charles Lane, who plays his make-up designer bud as well. Frank Langella does right in his role as a gangster in hiding--a mature albeit still-beautiful Peggy Lipton is phine as his wife. Anne-Marie Johnson makes a fine love interest for Lenny. The late J.T. Walsh, in a good-guy turn, delivers as an F.B.I. agent looking to bring in Langella's mobster character. And James Earl Jones has a poignant cameo as well. Not such a bad way to go for a Blockbuster kind of retro-night. Check it out. (This turned out to be a PAL copy, but with a code-free DVD player, you can make it happen!!!!)
