Movie Reviews of The People vs. Larry Flynt (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Unbelievably boring
Summary: 1 Stars
Who cares about Larry Flunt? He's some redneck who tried to make a splash with a dirty pictures magazine. Big deal. That was two boring hours of my life I'll never get back....
Summary of The People vs. Larry Flynt (Special Edition)
Two-time Oscar? winner Milos Forman (Amadeus One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) directs Woody Harrelson Courtney Love and Edward Norton in this "smart funny shamelessly entertaining" film called "a blazing triumph" by the New York Times. Based on the true story of the notorious Hustler publisher who was sued by the Religious Right and paralyzed by a fanatic's bullet THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT is a stranger-than-fiction comedy about one man's outrageous public persona and eccentric private life. Chronicling Flynt's raunchy business savvy his wildly unconventional marriage and his infamous courtroom antics THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT is "the most scintillating and outrageous message movie of the decade. An ultrapop masterpiece!" PLAYBOY MAGAZINESystem Requirements:Running Time: 129 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?043396006058 Manufacturer No:?00605Leave it to Czech director Milos Forman (One Flew Over to Cuckoo's Nest) to make the most entertaining and offbeat celebration of the American Constitution that the movies have ever given us. You think the First Amendment was designed to protect you from offensive speech? Think again. The real glory of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights--as brought to life in this splendidly quirky and alternately reverent and irreverent comedy--is that it ensures everyone's freedom by protecting a whole range of expression, from the banal to the outrageous. Scripted by the writers of Ed Wood (another affectionately twisted biography of a disreputably eccentric entertainment figure), The People vs. Larry Flynt applies a similar sort of exaggerated and telescoped editorial-cartoon sensibility to the wild life and times of Hustler skin-magazine publisher Larry Flynt. It's the great (and fictionalized-but-true) American story of how smut-peddler Flynt--the poor man's redneck Hugh Hefner--ended up appealing a libel case (brought by televangelist Jerry Falwell) to the Supreme Court and winning a major legal victory that affects us all. Terrific performances by Woody Harrelson as Flynt, grunge-star-turned-glamour-puss Courtney Love as his wife Althea, and Edward Norton as their lawyer (a composite character). --Jim Emerson
