Good, but hardly "Essential" - Missing a Plot,
By
This review is from: Local Hero (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
There may be the making of great movie - nice scenery, very good actors, atmospheric soundtrack, whimsy and authenticity -- but it did not come to fruition...Why not? There is a very thin plot, and it does not really go anywhere... You COULD say, that is part of the point of the movie, and maybe that has some truth, but one could imagine a much better plot that would have worked. Further, the lead, American, actor is fairly flat, hence he is difficult to identify with... In sum, this is one of those quirky movies that is likeable enough, but critics love, elevating its status WAY beyond what it should be. A small enjoyable movie, but without an engaging or interesting story. Comfort food, but not nutrient sparse. If you want eccentric Brit movies, go for Trainspotting or Walking Ned Devine.

Excellent Movie!,
By H. Roark (Central Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Local Hero (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
This is my favorite movie because the topics hit home on many levels as someone in an industry driven by deadlines. From the main character who initially would not think twice about exploiting a community's resources for the oil industry but in the end is willing to trade all his material goods for a life of simplicity and community, to a billionaire who seems to have it all except for happiness and sanity who befriends someone who has nothing and no use for money, to the rescue of a pristine landscape for something more sustainable, and all delivered in a humorously understated way. There are some weak spots but they don't get in the way of the message. I watch it once a year and get temporarily inspired to leave it all' and then reality kicks in. Sigh.

25th Anniversary This Year,
By
This review is from: Local Hero (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
2008 marks the 25th anniversary of "Local Hero," so when will we see a special collector's edition with all the bells and whistles this wonderful film deserves? Anyone know who we should petition?
