Movie Review: The best and funniest child abuse movie around
Summary: 5 Stars
You will be dry gulched by the performance of Robert De Niro in this classic tail of a harlot mother who drags her son from town to town. Leo Decaprio play Jack the harlots son who starts out wanting to do well but because of the bums his mom keeps selling her self to he heads on a spiraling path towards juvenile delinquency. That all takes place in the first half an hour of the film when Jacks saving grace enters the picture, played by Robert De Niro. This role was perfict for De Niro, being a manipulative two faced dirt bag named Dewight. Dewight continues to make Jacks life more and more miserable with every day through the clever use of verble abuse which made me really laugh and violence that would normaly turn the stomach but here it just made every thing that much better.
So if you are looking for a funny true to life movie about [the in a cruddy little town, then this is your movie. I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Movie Review: The most hilarious movie leo and deniro ever did!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the movies leo dicaprio and rob deniro ever did, this is the most hilarious work i have ever seen them do together. every rebellious fight scene between deniro and leo is an absolute laugh the way deniro tyrannically and hysterically acts it out. and leo just looks like this poor little helpless defenseless spikey haired boy scout who tries his best to stand up to him only to get knocked around and bullied by him every minute in the movie. the way they acted this out is just too hilarious and hysterical for words to describe in my opinion for me.
i give leo and deniro all the stars in the world for their greatest work in this film. trust me you don't know what you are missing so please get this. you won't be sorry and you will want to watch it over and over as i do. ahahahahahahahahahhahaha.
Movie Review: no title
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie hurt me so bad I almost walked out; came home and cried on my bed as my husband was folding laundry, a vivid memory I retain to this day. I have since realized that DeCaprio, who should have gotten an Oscar nod here, very much resembles my youngest son; hence I have trouble watching him in peril. So don't be put off by my reaction unless you have such a child too. As the last line in the description barely mentions, this is from the true life story of the novelist, Tobias Wolff, which does give it an immediate authenticity. Ellen Barken and DeNiro were also good, as you would expect, but it is the young DeCaprio whom you can't take your eyes off of. He walks away with every scene he is in, no mean feat with Robert DeNiro.Movie Review: A GREAT MOVIE! DE NIRO & DICAPRIO EXCELLENT CAST!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie many times on cable and to my knowledge it was unedited. I watched the DVD for the first time and noticed that some scenes seems a bit longer and some I did not remember. There is no mention od added scenes on the package or on the disc. I either don't remember these scenes or the cable version was very slightly edited. Anyway, This is a really engrossing film with De Niro playing a real wack job!(like he never did it before!) Dicaprio is impressive in what I think is his first picture! The whole cast is excellent in this based on a true story film. It is an easy movie to get into and it moves along at a good pace. The DVD transfer looks great with very little extras on the disc. The movie is worth it alone.Movie Review: this boys life..hits it on the head...period
Summary: 5 Stars
this movie is what the abuse of the '50's and '60's was. mr. deniro is perfect..just like my stepdad was!! the somewhat rebel attitude of the boy is so good it brought tears to my eyes.
i also was a surviver of that era when it seemed all was o-k.
the acting and writing portrays the "real deal" of the truth of a subculture that ran amook in that era and puts it on film like no other movie i have ever seen!!
PLEASE...see this film!!!!
thank you tobias for telling this story and to all who made this sad but truthful movie come to life.
