Movie Reviews of Eating Raoul
Movie Review: Strange Mutations
Summary: 5 Stars
Buisness owners always have problems & must devise new ways to survive. Even if other people don't. Good bread, Good what. We need, Your Butt.
This freak show carved its own niche in the film world because of its willingness to think outside the lunch box. Paul & Mary Bland come up with a spicy answer to their supply problems in this drama, mystery, comedy show. Written & directed by Paul Bartel who plays Paul Bland. I feel certain He knew that Mary Woronov aka Bland would be the star of this little gem. She is a staple of dark off the wall movies (check her filmography at IMDB) & actually famous as such. It was no accident she appears in this.
Robert Beltran plays Raoul, a delicious portrayal arranged by Mr. Bartel. Are there people that couldn't be paid to watch this. Oh yeah! The people that are somewhat bent & twisted at heart, as I am, know this was a film that had its tongue firmly in its cheek from the start. We just weren't sure which cheek. If you're open to outlandish solutions to life's ills as well as the difficulties they cause, then load this up. If your staid & easily offended stay away. Go Mary. 5 Stars!
Movie Review: Biting humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Paul and Mary Bland have a dream of one day owning their own restraint. Due to a series of accidents it looks like they have found a way to make money from picking up and disposing of deviants. They turn to a professional to get the finer points of deviation. With a stoke of luck, they run across Raoul, who expands their potential by disposing of the ex-deviants cars. The addition of a hot tub accelerates their income potential. Raoul is getting kind of familiar with Mary.
Will they make enough money for the restaurant?
Will thy get caught?
What is to be done with the growing Raoul problem?
This movie will Dominatrix the industry. You will be wiped into shape and learn many things about which wine goes with which meat, and the best way to plan for the future. This should be taught in economics classes where it would be electrifying. Produced by people with fertile minds and a limited budget this movie pans out and is not anything but FUNNY.

Summary: 5 Stars
Paul and Mary Bland (Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov) are the only "normal" couple left in a world of perversion, deviance, and lechery. One evening, a "swinger" wanders into their apartment by mistake, behaves outrageously, and adds to the Blands' overall frustrations and building disgust. Soon, a plan is devised where the Blands can build their income while eliminating some of the world's perverts. This goes along quite swimmingly until a local burglar / conman named Raoul (Robert Beltran from NIGHT OF THE COMET) insinuates himself into the Blands' happy scheme. The rest is pure comic platinum, as our heroes attempt to make enough money to purchase their dream restaurant business, while ridding themselves of Raoul and just about everyone else! Bartel and Woronov are always good together. Ms. Woronov is especially delightful here, playing Mary Bland as the sweet-though-insane opposite of her eeevil, tyrannical principal in ROCK AND ROLL HIGHSCHOOL. Add EATING RAOUL to your collection immediately! You'll never look at dominatrixes or frying pans in the same way again...Movie Review: Tasty, Delicious, And Oh So Nutritious
Summary: 5 Stars
Eating Raoul is a tasty dark comedy about a married couple who start killing perverts and stealing their money to help them open a new restaurant. Here is a movie that is an example of why I favor independent movies over big-budget movies. Eating Raoul has good acting (Mary Woronov is especially terrific), a deliciously diabolical script, and a brilliant plot. Has anyone ever said that about Transformers or G.I. Joe? And I wouldn't doubt it if John Waters' A Dirty Shame wasn't influenced someone by this. The swingers included here have a lot of really kinky fantasies, just like the characters in A Dirty Shame. A must-see if you like quirky indie movies with a sense of humor!Movie Review: You need to watch this movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Paul Bartel -- a genius. Mary Woronov - one of the best (and, unfortunately, underappreciated) comedic actresses of our times. This movie pairs the two of them for the first time, and one of the best comic duos of all times had been born. Playing an uptight married couple trapped in a swingers world, watching Bartel and Woronov playing off of each other, and the various characters that come in and out of their lives, shows us why independent movies still shine far above most commercially/studio made movies out there. Get this movie -- better yet, buy this movie and add it to your collection. You won't be disappointed.
