Movie Reviews of Burglar
Movie Review: It's as SMART as it is FUNNY! You won't be sorry!
Summary: 5 Stars
I want everyone to know that I am 21 years old, and I saw this movie on cable when I was only 13. I walked out of my room a changed person, and realized what I wanted to do with my life from that moment on; Be an Actress. But not just any actress, I wanted to act along side Whoopi Goldberg. She has been my childhood hero since I was 4 years old, and I wanted to be an movie star then as well, but as the years went by, I forgot what I wanted to do with my life, and was uninspired by many things...until the night I watched this movie, which I think is the funniest movie ever made! Comedy is my first love, and drama next, but since that defining moment, I've become a very good singer and screenplay writer, and am signed with a record company out of Hollywood. Next is films. Whoopi is still my childhood hero. She may say she's retired, but she hasn't met me yet. A comedy such as Burglar may not be special to some people, but it is the reason I am who I am today. ~ Dana E.
Summary of Burglar
Whoopi sparkles as a quick-witted cat burglar caught up in a jewel heigst double-dealing and murder. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Whoopie Goldberg Bob Goldthwaith Run time: 103 minutes Rating: R Director: Hugh WilsonBurglar may not be one of Whoopi Goldberg's best outings, but it does offer her several opportunities to cut loose as a comedian. She plays a bookshop owner with a shady past who is being blackmailed by a crooked cop and must perform one last heist. Naturally, everything goes wrong and a handsome lothario winds up dead. Whoopi must find his murderer before the police find her. There are a couple of unexpected twists to this formulaic tale though Hugh (First Wives Club) Wilson's direction can't always navigate the tonal shifts between comedy and murder mystery. But Whoopi holds it all together with strong assistance from a stellar cast including Bob Goldthwait, John Goodman, Anne DeSalvo, and Lesley Ann Warren. Goldthwait, who plays a dog groomer and Whoopi's wacked-out best friend, has several priceless moments featuring his squeaky-door crazy-man vocal delivery. Goodman and DeSalvo, both crackerjack comic actors, don't have nearly enough to do while Warren plays a curvaceous dentist and the ex-wife of the murder victim who seems to have suspect written all over her. --Richard Natale
