4.0 out of 5 stars
Ahh, the hitch 'n' ditch ..., May 27 2004
This review is from: Con, the (VHS Tape)
Attractive, worldly con-woman seduces and marries small-town rube for his inheritance. Got to end in tears, right?
William H. Macy stars in this delightful hybrid of extortion thriller and romantic comedy. For the bulk of the running time, it's eminently watchable without really treading new ground. Then, just when you think you've got the ending sorted out in your head ...
If, like me, you'd listen to Mr Macy read his grocery list (and likely shout 'encore!' afterwards) then this will not disappoint. If not ... well, it won't disappoint anyway. It's funny, it's moving without being treacly, and best of all, it isn't entirely predictable. Top stuff.

Excellent!, Jun 16 2001

I couldn't leave the room, I loved this movie! The actors were so good, I did not recognize who they were at first. I can't wait until "The Con" comes out on DVD so I can buy it.
