4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and cool, June 18, 2004
I saw this movie in the early '90's when independent and foreign films were still independent in the real sense. At this point, I had only seen Daniel Day-Lewis in Room With A View, so this movie was a significant departure from that. It is a fish-out-of-water comedic film. A Britsh art-dealer living in New York (and dating the boss's daughter) is sent to the South to collect a valuable painting from the estate of an eccentric Southern gentleman. Along the way, he encounters the woman of his dreams and the man's wacky family. High jinks ensue.

I really liked it. The casting was genius: Laurie Metcalf, Glenne Headley, Joan Cusack, Maury Chaykin, Will Patton, and many others. While funny and strange with a touch of Southern gothic, the film also questions the real value of American success. A good companion film would be Shy People with Barbara Hershey.

2.0 out of 5 stars Danny in the raw, October 5, 2000
By A Customer
If you've got a yen to see Daniel Day-Lewis naked, this is worth your while. He has two nude scenes, one of them, er, lengthy and revealing (and some might say, risky--he's crawling out of a second floor window, naked in the rain). Otherwise, this is a surprising misfire, and a waste of a good cast.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brit meets NYC meets Georgia, February 4, 2003
By Peter F. Johnson & Dixie J-Elder (Longmont, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
My father's from GA, my husband's from England & we've both lived in/near NYC. So this film hit us where we've lived. Having seen "In the name of the Father" & "Gangs of NY" we couldn't imagine Day-Lewis in a comedic role but he was brilliant. His physical shtick was prime: absurd canoe rowing at the Atlanta hotel & especially his nude escape from bad guys who were also after the priceless Renoir. Jogging down the NYC streets in a cardboard box, he was rippingly funny. The ever-wonderful Harry Dean Stanton was perfect as the "Big Daddy" of a completely dilapidated Southern Mansion. All the minor characters did great jobs of work, especially the trailer wife (not sure of actress's name). We could've done w/ more of Joan Cusak & her bright comedic heart but truly this film is FOUR & 1/2 Stars! ...

Yeah, I know that the critics hated it, and I can sometimes find reasons to agree with their assesments. But, I am mysteriously drawn to this farce. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE WORST USES OF A GOOD CAST.
I honestly thought that this was going to be a very entertaining movie when I came across it. Joan Cusack and Martha Plimpton are two of the best comedic actresses of our time... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Funny!
The critics chose to trash this movie but it kept us in stiches the whole time. Day-Lewis plays the perfect British flop and the rednecks cast in the movie are hilarious!
