Waste of Popcorn,
By Duckypoo (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mickey Blue Eyes (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I saw this movie at the cinema. Having enjoyed other Hugh Grant flicks, I didn't expect this movie to be the total stinker it turned out to be. I thought Grant and Jeanne Triplehorn were a mis-matched couple. The acting was so-so, the plot very thin, and the humour strained. Overall, this movie wasn't worth the price we paid to see it, and I have no desire to ever watch it again.

"Fuggeda abot it",
By Kevin Alphonso (Canton, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mickey Blue Eyes (VHS Tape)
This movie had a great idea: an uptight British auctioneer (Hugh Grant) has to deal with his fiancee's mob boss father (James Caan).While it starts out well, it quickly stops being entertaining as it bombards the audience with unfunny, desperate jokes. Midway through the film, I stopped caring and just wanted it over. There are few good jokes (the best one has Grant accidently blowing up his own shirt), and one is left wondering the question, what was the point?

Beware, I will be giving away a few plot points.Somebody somewhere thought that Hugh Grant could be his impish self and make this fish-out-of-water work. It would have been better if the whole thing slept with the fishes. This could be the worst script of 1999. Grant, an auctioneer at an art house, is about to become engaged to Jeanne Tipplehorne who's father James Cahn just happens to be a small-time figure in a mob-family. Cahn's associates get involved and somehow get Grant to launder mob money by auctioning off the truly awful paintings of the mob-boss' son to mob-boss associates who in turn never actually pay for them. Given the lengths the film goes to display Grant's goody-two-shoes nature, it's preposterous to begin with. Well, things go a bit astray, thanks to the truly bizare plot point of Grant willing to commit another feloney (tipping off an auction participant when a painting has passed its actual value) and through an incredibly convoluted series of events, mob-boss' son dies. Nobody but Grant and Tipplehorne knows who the real killer is. And the hilarity/hijinks just rolls from here. Tipplehorne is pretty much a throwaway character here and we're expected to beleive that she'll just disappear after mob-boss son's death. Caan sort of plays this as a cross between Sonny and Freddo Corleone. He has some of Sonny's power and violence and is as naive, if not necessarily as stupid as Freddo. Grant gives his usual (which is also becoming tiresome) nice guy in extrodinary circumstances performance. If all this is confusing so far, the ending may have you looking at the screen with the expression of a dog hearing a high pitched sound. Are we to assume that all of Mob-bosses associates are going to ignore what they've just seen?
