Movie Reviews of Nobody's Fool
Movie Review: The best FEEL GOOD movie I have ever seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is truley everything a feel good movie should be. All the acting, directing and comedy in this film was done to perfection. This should've won best picture!Don't miss it!The only question I have is why it is rated R. It has just 2 breif topless scenes and very little bad language. The MPAA must've had beter things to do in the 70's because I've seen nastier, more bad laguage and nudity in the 70's movies that were rated PG then. This movie coul've used a PG-13 at best and I would even reccommend it for family viewing. Anything for young kids would go over their heads and this is a movie teenagers should see to a spice of real life without all the crybaby stuff that's in most drama movies. "Nobody's Fool" is a feel good movie that doesn't really bring any tears yet seems to tell the story of peoeple's lives. Hard working regular good people.Movie Review: Unobective view from a resident of "North Bath"
Summary: 5 Stars
It's always amazing to me to see the 5-star reviews everywhere for this. It seems so small, gray, and intimate to me, because I grew up in (and now live near and work in) the village this was based on. Before I found out that the author admitted it was our village (different name, but very thinly disguised!), I knew it within the first 20 minutes of seeing this. I'm guessing many others see their small town venues and personalities and dramas when watching this film or others like it. Believe me, as chilling as it is to see how well an outsider could capture us (well, really, the author lived less than 30 miles away), I fall in love with my home of the last 5 decades every time I see this, and realize that salt-of-the-earth invisibility may be OK!!Movie Review: Real life, real people; simply put...a really great film!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to see how real people live then just watch this film. This movie is one of my all time favorites. Growing up in central NY, I can tell you that this movie captures the people, their wit, and as I said before, their lives.There are people who think they are important because they have important jobs. The reality is that the most important thing we can do is to help others and to make a difference, day in, day out, in little ways. That is what Sully does, and he himself doesn't recognize how important he is.
Paul Newman is excellent, as always.
The DVD is missing of bonus materials and since this movie is unlikely to ever get a "Collector's Edition" that is sad. However, the movie itself is bonus enough.
Movie Review: Wonderful film
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply a beautiful character study, following blue collar Newman's existence in a small town near New York, his friends (and foes) and his family.
Newman is amazing in the lead, yet again creating a remarkable character that isn't easily forgotten. Jessica Tandy is an absolute delight in her last film, she seems to have gotten even better with age. In fact; all the cast are simply great (yes, even Melanie Griffith) and they contribute heavily to one of the most charming films in a very long time.
Wonderfully written, full of sentiment and wisdom and directed by a pro (Benton, who also made the wonderful Kramer vs. Kramer). Can't recommend this one enough.
Movie Review: Mood Elevator
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot even say enough about how much I love this movie--it is one of my 3 favorite movies of all time! Everyone else here has already written the plot of the movie and other things. I can only add that whenever I am feeling a little down, I watch this movie, and it lifts my depression, and makes me feel good. It's a feel-good movie, for sure. Love it. Just from watching this movie, I started reading all of Richard Russo's books. He writes so beautifully, now he is my favorite author.
I just wish there were more movies like this. Anyone have any favorites to recommend?--just respond to this review. I would love to get some good recommendations for more movies like this one!
