Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

david-1481 This film as also from the book where it came from is a true masterpiece. Not only in its wording but the characters, the acting and the storyline and its tongue in cheek poke at radio writers of that era (i.e. the 1950's). If you don't have a writer background or have lived the era of radio plays you might not get the humour or the subtle below the belt jokes embedded in the play. But I strongly suggest you to watch and learn - this movie took a long time to make and is well worth seeing.

freak_girl2092 i have never seen such a romantic movie ever. this movie has it all. laughs, love, keanu reeves and sorrow. i love this movie~~its so lovely, enchanting and dreamy. in a few sentences of summery about this movie: martin falls in love; but this love is wrong. trying to keep their relationship-he will do anything~~perhaps even kill??>>but one thing is for sure>they live happily ever after~~. i really enjoyed this movie because it shows us the ones who have fallen out of love> someone else is out their waiting for them-no matter how old you are love will come but you just got to be patient!i would also like to recommend the movie: a walk in the clouds also stars keanu reeves.

mark_r_oneill This is a fun little story. The story is cute and keeps you just interested enough - but you watch for the humor. The humor is very dry and satirical.The story revolves around Peter Falk -- he's a fantastically crazy writer and director of a radio drama in New Orleans in the 1920s or 30s. He causes chaos wherever he goes and he's bringing it to Keanue Reaves and Barbara Hershey.I watched it years ago and I still remember some of the jokes and laugh at them, especially the switch to persecuting Norwegians at the end.It drags every now and then. But it is still fun.Keanue Reaves cannot act. Oy Vey! PeeYeew!

bluepuppy I love this movie. I love everything about it.It's a screwball comedy and first-rate farce. It kids soap operas, white-bread 1950's suburbia, and even points up the absurdity of racism, while still being joyous, fun, and affectionately good-natured. The acting is superb all around with delightful chemistry between the three main characters played by Barbara Hershey, Keanu Reeves, and Peter Falk. I'm amazed that anyone could fault Reeves' performance in this film. He is perfect - sweet, hopeful, naive and romantic. The May-late autumn romance between Reeves and Barbara Hershey is completely believable. You want these two to make it.The secondary plot involves a playing-out of the radio soap opera as Peter Falk's character writes it. The acting is deliciously over-the-top as befits the absurd storyline. Extra kudos to Elizabeth McGovern. Who knew she could be so funny?Peter Falk is the glue that holds the whole thing together. He wickedly manipulates everyone who comes within his sphere of influence - but all in the name of art and love.As an added bonus, the music is wonderful, both as atmosphere and in and of itself. Wynton Marsalis wrote the score and his band plays the music. If you like jazz or even if you don't, the way it weaves in and out of and becomes part of the plot is a delight to the soul.
