Movie Reviews of Two Bits

Movie Review: Two Bits
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a ''priceless treasure'' of a movie. I sent this precious movie to my sister in California so that she could enjoy it as much as I have. They just don't make movies of this quality very often. It's a movie I will NEVER tire of and I consider it a classic. I have always loved the work of Al Pacino but this is truly a ''sleeper'' that many people don't even know about. It really is about a ''legacy of love'' that a grandfather leaves for his grandson and would touch anyone's heart.

Movie Review: You have not scene this movie, but you will!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is still one of my favorite Al Pacino movies. Even though
Pacino has small part his role has much impact. I tried to tell
a friend what this movie was about and my eyes started to well up. Coming from a close Italian family, this touched my heart.
This movies supplies us with excellent performances sprinkled with a heartwarming story. Watch this on a Sunday evening you
will be better off that you did

Movie Review: A Very Nice, Understated Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Here is a nice, low-key film which features appealing storytelling. There are no good guys vs. bad guys, no action, no blood, no sex: just a story of a day back in the Depression era in South Philadelphia. It also looks very good on this widescreen DVD.

The story centers around a young boy "Gennero" (Jerry Barone) trying to raise "two bits" (25 cents) to see a movie. It features his dying grandfather, played nicely by Al Pacino. Along the way the 12-year-old encounters interesting people and events.

Some have criticized Pacino for taking this role. I guess they want him to be a cop in every film. Well, he's a great actor and shows his diversified talents well in here. Whatever.....this film is loaded with charm and a nice story that's like a good book: hard to put down once you start.

At 84 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome, either. Even though there is little profanity, I'm not sure I would recommend this as family fare because the film touches on a sexually-disturbing doctor and his wife.
