Movie Reviews of Two Girls and a Guy
Movie Review: Very good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Surprisingly good movie and my favorite of all Robert Downey Jr's. I thought Heather Graham was great in this as well. It's one of those movies where I can't quite explain why I liked it so much. The cast just clicked together and seemed to genuinely have enjoyed making it.Movie Review: Typical Toback
Summary: 3 Stars
Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are two beautiful women who have never met and didn't think they had anything in common until one fateful day in New York. Both women are standing outside a sprawling loft when they get into a discussion about what pigs men are after both have just been hit on by one rather forward guy whose girlfriend catches him chatting up are two leading ladies. Lou does most of the talking describing her dream of a boyfriend Blake (Robert Downey Jr.). Blake is an actor and he can talk anyone into "buying a house without a roof." "Sounds irresistible" Carla replies. After more gushing from Lou something doesn't sit right with Carla. She realizes that her boyfriend also an actor sounds a lot like Lou's love and both women realize that Blake is stepping out with both of them at the same time. They break into his loft and wait for him to return where they plan to confront him and demand answers. Once the women break into the loft this film becomes like a stage play (a comparison that Toback hates as evidenced by his commentary track) taking place in one location and with a lot of talking. The acting has to be good to keep your interests with a film like this and fortunately it is. Graham is beautiful and great as the more self assured and forward of the two women but Wagner is given more of the funnier dialogue and has several rapid fire monologues. Of course Downey has the most difficult role having to be sympathetic and charming explaining his deception to both ladies. He is good though not perfect throughout. He is obviously playing Toback which he has done before to better effect in their previous collaboration The Pick Up Artist. Downey does have several funny moments though such as when he convinces the girls of what a great actor he is by playing Hamlet and when Graham asks him not to refer to her by name he replies " What am I supposed to call you, Timmy?" Of course Toback explores the same raw sexual material that he has explored in all of his work most notably the debate over ownership of the phallus that he first introduced in his debut film Fingers. Basically its eighty four minutes of talking that is occasionally funny, sometimes uncomfortable and truthful but ultimately leading to an ending that doesn't quite work. I would recommend that you check out the Pick Up Artist which is Downey's and Toback's first collaboration. It is PG-13 tame for Toback and is a sweet romance with Molly Ringwald as the object of affection and with a great supporting cast including Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel, and Danny Aiello.Movie Review: Fine Black Comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
A black comedy that is more serious than most, this is a fine look at self-delusion in a relationship. As you watch, ask yourself: who is the most delusional of these three people, and how does that affect how the plot progresses? Fine performaces by all three actors (good to see Wagner in something a little lengthier after her small part in "High Fidelity"). A little talky for some people's tastes, but works beautifully in the enclosed space of the loft. Beautifully filmed, with great use of corners, mirrors, and a rice-paper door. Good commentary track, though a little too jokey during some interesting dramatic parts.Movie Review: This movie was like a play
Summary: 3 Stars
Because it is very claustrophobic, It takes place in Robert Downey's apartment. The acting was very good. Robert is so good it's a shame that he ruins himself the way he does. Heather is adorable as always. Natashia Gregson Wagner blew me away. I thought she was Natalie Wood's ghost, she is the mirror image of her mother. And a good actress too, I hope to see her in more movies soon. She has a lot of potential to become one of the great actress of this era. One of the star's children that actually has real talent and not just riding on the fame of famous parents.Movie Review: What?
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was stupid. It had a bad plot. It was very pointless. The only good thing about this movie was Robert Downey Jr's acting which was why I gave it 2 stars. The other 2 were good. But The plot...I'm not even gonna' start with the plot. The whole movie was stupid. I also don't get why this got an NC-17 rating. I don't want any dumb reviewer bad mouthing me just cause I don'get why this movie got an NC-17, I'm just wandering why it got it? It doesn't have any nudity or strong sexualy explicit nude scenes or what ever you call it. Unless if it was for that scene between Jr and Graham then that is dumb.
Over all if you like dumb comedies go and watch it..
