Movie Reviews of Living Out Loud
Movie Review: What a wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not going to attempt to imitate a movie critic. Instead, I will just say that this film is incredibly good, and makes you genuinely care about the characters in it. This is also the movie that made me like Danny DeVito - after many years of considering him nothing but annoying comic relief, I finally got to see him in something that shows his true talent portraying a full spectrum of emotion. Funny how just watching one movie can completely change ones' opinion. This is a must-see movie. If you are in love, you will appreciate your relationship more. If you are alone, this will give you hope, and show that you are not alone at all.
Summary of Living Out Loud
Judith nelson newly divorced is consumed by vindictive fantasies of her ex-husband and his young bride. Her life is empty until she finds unexpected companionship ina bold and sassy jazz singer at a local club and the down-on-his-luck elevator operator in her fashionable fifth avenue building. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/26/2006 Starring: Holly Hunter Queen Latifah Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Richard LagraveneseThe original title of Living Out Loud was The Kiss, which also happens to be the title of one of the two Anton Chekhov stories the movie is loosely based on. (For those Russian lit mavens out there, the other story is "Misery.") The actual kiss in Living Out Loud is a somewhat mysterious affair: newly single Judith (Holly Hunter) suddenly finds herself laying a wet 'n' sloppy one on a total stranger (Elias Koteas, Hunter's Crash costar) in the back room of a cool jazz club, and then parting ways with the man. For good. Like so much of this exceptionally smart, generous movie, no explanation is given--or necessary. Screenwriter Richard LaGravenese (The Fisher King), making his directing debut, charts Judith's struggles in the wake of being dumped by her doctor husband (Martin Donovan). It turns out life has its ups and downs, some of which come courtesy of the elevator operator (Danny DeVito) in her swanky Upper East Side apartment building. DeVito's character is a nice guy in need of a little human touch, and the actor soft-pedals his usual sleaze in favor of a warm, directly emotional approach. It's the kind of turn that garners Oscar nominations, except that this movie didn't attract the box office it deserved. His performance, like the film, keeps surprising you--a fantasy sequence here, an ensemble dance there, plus a couple of smoky jazz tunes contributed by Queen Latifah. This unpredictable movie has the kiss of class. --Robert Horton
