3.0 out of 5 stars a rather strange, interesting movie, May 30, 2000

By	Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

This is not a great film. It may not even be a very good one, but I have yet to see a performance by Keanu Reeves that I didn't find fascinating. In this oddball dark comedy, which does have some very funny scenes, he is terrific.He also has wonderful chemistry with Amy Madigan and a killer haircut !

3.0 out of 5 stars Young wacky and crazy Keanu, April 12, 2003

By	"myratings" (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews

An offbeat film with offbeat characters. Keanu is fun but the older woman he has an affair with was definitely miscast. There is no believability in the chemical attraction there. Keanu kidnaps his Dad for money but his plan backfires. The whole family is offbeat and a little wacky. Watch only if you're a Keanu fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Prince Of Pennsylvania, January 16, 2000

By	fetsick@att.net (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This is a nice story about a coming of age young man who isplayed by Keanu Reeves as Rupert. You follow Rupert through a part of his teen age life with friends a nd family, and all the happiness and problems life has to offer in a small Pennsylva nia town. I did like this movie and don't forget the twist in the movie plot!

On a personal note this movie was filmed in and around the Pittsburgh,PA area. I even ha d the privilege to be one of the movie extra's in the coal mining scenes. Only four of the seven scenes I was in made the movie but it was great to meet and work with Keanu, Fred, Bonnie and the funniest person I know Amy Madigan.

For all women who like Keanu Reeves (and who doesn't?), this movie protrays him as a young misfit teenager, and he is very young in this movie. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars KEANU REEVES FANS STEP THIS WAY
This movie is quite good.

It's a quirky piece (not always a mainstream man is our Mr Reeves) and Keanu shows promise for his comedic turns in later films. Read more
