3.0 out of 5 stars Buscemi is the man, March 25, 2008

By	Sick Daddy "Sick Daddy" (Oregon USA) - See all my reviews

I've always been a big Steve Buscemi fan, and he can hold a movie together just about as well as anyone, and this is no different.

Buscemi does a great job portraying on the role of a paparazzi photographer who is waiting for his opportunity to get the 'shot heard 'round the world'. In his journey, he finds himself a friend in a homeless Toby, who dreams of becoming an actor. The interplay between the two characters drives this movie.

The acting is pretty well done, but Buscemi, with his usual strong performance makes the movie good.

I recommend a rental.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Checking out (Make that Three and a half stars! ) , July 2, 2008

By	Danniray99 "Danniray" (Expatriate in Germany) - See all my reviews

In "Delirious," Les (played by Steve Buscemi), a jittery, disorganized and neurotic paparazzo, takes in a scruffy, homeless kid named Toby (Micheal Pitt)for a night and then decides to make Toby his (go-fer) assistant. But the middle-aged Les is a great pretender. He's actually a scrounging bottom-feeder, a deluded dreamer who teaches Toby some of the tricks of his trade--everything from gate-crashing high- and low-end parties for the free buffet spreads to swiping goodie bags from glitzy premiers and media events. Toby, however, turns out to be trustworthy, calm, sweet-natured and, most importantly, a very good looking young man who soon attracts the attentions of a casting agent (Gina Gershon) and, later still, a troubled starlet (Alison Lohman). Pulled up from the bottom, Toby becomes a star, leaving a jealous, possessive and increasingly infuriated Les to stew in his own grungy, hand-to-mouth existence. "Delirious" is ostensibly about the men's hard-bitten relationship. But as written and directed by Tom DiCillo, this independently-made film is actually a very tart commentary on the symbiotic relationship between media-driven infatuation and the fishbowl of celebrity culture--although "Delirious" is less cynical and far less fatalistic than its prototype, "Midnight Cowboy" (the 1969 X-rated Oscar-winning movie which starred Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in comparable roles). As with "Midnight Cowboy," there is an undeniable core of feeling that develops between the two characters. Overall, this is an above-average movie that is definitely worth checking out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not to bad, February 13, 2009

By	Bronson K. Cambra "Bronson" (KY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD was not that bad. The story line was very interesting but it kinda dragged on a little. The movie in general was pretty good though.
