Movie Reviews of Hi, Mom!
Movie Review: Avant-Garbage
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw "Hi, Mom!" listed in a book entitled "The New York Times Guide to the Best 1000 Movies ever Made". I have made it a point to watch those films whenever possible which is why I rented "Hi, Mom!" last night. What a waste of time that was. Robert de Niro is the "star" of this film and his preformance is a mixed bag. I would rate it on par with his acting in "Rocky and Bulwinkle".
The movie starts out awkwardly as it seems to be an R-rated movie about the porn industry. It veers away from that into something entirely different as it seems to want to shock the audience into empathy. It stumbles to the end attempting to expand its' simplistic portrayal of American stereotypes. Maybe this movie is supposed to be "black humor"; that genre that shames you into thinking a lousy movie is actually a work of art (when the truth is that your first impression was the correct assessment). In my opinion, the only impressive bit of acting in this movie was that of the porn distributor.
This film DID remind me of a 70's film called "Kentucky Fried Movie". That movie veered off in different directions as well but it had the advantage of actually being funny. I'm actually rather embarassed to admit that I watched "Hi, Mom!". Lets just put this review in the category of a public service. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Summary of Hi, Mom!
"Alive, amusing, interesting and inventive" (Newsweek), Hi, Mom! established Brian DePalma (Carrie) as a formidable directorial talent and premier social satirist. Bursting withincisive parodies of home movies, TV documentaries and '60s off-Broadway "encounter theater" groups, and starring Robert De Niro in one of his earliest roles, Hi, Mom! is "brilliant and engaging" (Variety)! De Niro stars as Jon Rubin, a charmingly directionless Vietnam vet and would-be "erotic filmmaker." Convincing a film producer to finance his "peep art," Rubin sets up his camera to film the nocturnal activities of his unsuspecting neighbors. In short order, he goes from voyeur to participantand mild-mannered milquetoast to full-fledged urban guerrilla!Comedy DVD Video
