3.0 out of 5 stars It grows on you, April 13 2004

Not enough substance to carry the movie through to the end but there are definitely plenty of funny moments. The acting is pretty good and I found the characters believable and likeable. Excellent casting. Nicely done DVD including good director's commentary. I think this movie deserves more notice.

5.0 out of 5 stars No CHUMPs Allowed, Mar 1 2004

This review is from: Chump Change (DVD)

I don't know that this film -- the story of Milwaukee Steve and his quest to have a billion dollar screenplay that'll light up Tinseltown like never before -- will ever amass a large following, but I will say that it's destined for a very unique 'culthood.'

CHUMP CHANGE plays out like a 'cornbred Woody Allen' (complete with narration and analysis of the world around) as Steve details one misadventure after another. While there are elements are the plot that are largely predictable, don't be fooled: another zinger is waiting right around the corner!

And, yes, of particular note is an absolutely winning performance turned in by Traci Lords. Yes. THAT Traci Lords! (Apologies if I've spelled her name wrong.) Her hometown wholesome girl-next-store twist almost steals the show ... if not, it certainly steals your heart!

If you're in the mood for some great laughs, this is one you can throw in even for the noise!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film with tons of laughs, Feb 22 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Chump Change (DVD)

Too inde to be mainstream, too mainstream to be inde: this is a great look at the absurdity of our obsession with pidgeon-holes and similar nonsense... I tend to think there is a lot less exageration in this film than would appear on the surface. The cover shot is goofy and misleading: this is a film about Steve Burroughs and his attempts to crack the Hollywood system, Tim Mathison is a supporting character. Anyhow, funny on a variety of levels. Destined to become a cult classic! Interesting soundtrack as well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comedy that should be in the theaters
If you enjoyed The Player by Robert Altman, you will like this, too. It isn't quite as dark or masterfully directed - but it has a lot of witty humor, a convincing love story and... Read more
