Movie Reviews of Dogfight
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
From the opening scene, you can tell that this isn't going to be a stereotypical war/romance movie. "Dogfight" is the story of Birdlace (River Phoenix), who is a Marine, and his friends who have a game called the dogfight. Whoever gets the ugliest date gets the money they all bet. He meets Rose, played by Lili Taylor.
That night, it goes from being a bet to truly enjoying eachother. The thing is, he leaves the next day for Vietnam.
River Phoenix is absolutely great. He was such a versatile actor, and would have been one of the best. Lili Taylor is adorable as the ugly duckling. All of the supporting cast is great.
I highly recommend this. It'll stay with you for longer than you imagine!
Movie Review: Beautiful, jarring
Summary: 5 Stars
The story itself is pretty simple, but the execution of the story is what makes Dogfight a very lovely film. I think the actors did a great job conveying the awkwardness of what falling in love is all about. While Lili Taylor is not ugly at all, I like the idea of an "ugly girl" getting the guy without changing herself. She stayed true to herself until the very end. Speaking of which: The ending, in my opinion, is one of the most perfect endings I've seen for a movie - hands down. I don't really have much else to add except to say that Dogfight is a gripping love story and you will think about it long after the film is over. Dogfight is really well done and I hope that more people discover/experience it.Movie Review: A Love Story, Slightly Off Center...
Summary: 5 Stars
What starts off as a sad, cruel prank being played by several young Marines on their last night before shipping out to Viet Nam, turns into one of the most endearing love stories I've ever seen.
The late River Phoenix and Lili Taylor turn in heart-rending performances as two young people who desperately need to be loved. The actual "Dogfight" refers to a game the Marines play where the winner is decided by his dates ugliness.
The film is both uplifting and heart-breaking at the same time and tho it's set in current days, could be happening during any time the viewer wants, which should appeal to viewers of all ages.
A timeless Masterpiece. Would I lie to you?
Movie Review: Unexpected romance.
Summary: 5 Stars
Dogfight starring River Phoenix and Lili Taylor is a film that is highly under-rated, it's one of the best films of 1991. Phoenix and Taylor's chemisty is strong and awkward but in a good way. You care about these characters and you want them to live happily ever after but Dogfight has no final resolution or fairytale ending. This film works because the people and the places are authentic, you can picture yourself being there in the turbluent 1960's. If you want a film that will leave you in awe then Dogfight is for you, this is a film you surely won't forget. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Beautiful film, wonderful DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so psyched that they finally released one of my all-time favorite movies on DVD. I think what I like best about this movie is how real it seems. The characters have their awkward moments, and then there are times when they say so much without even opening their mouths.I got more than I could have imagined in this DVD, since this is such a little-known film. It includes intriguing audio commentary and the trailer for the film. The film itself is presented in widescreen format and the picture and sound quality are impressive.
