Movie Review: I Never Saw The Original
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't know anything, but I know what I like. This was Hoyt Axton's last performance on film, and for that alone, it ought to be worth a look. Demi Moore puts in a reasonably amusing performance as a single mom with a mute daughter, who will do anything to make ends meet, and the utter implausibility of the whole film makes me want to watch it over and over again for some reason. I like the grittiness of this period piece, and to tell you the truth, I laughed out loud several times (although probably at all the wrong times and for all the wrong reasons) I enjoyed this film for what it was; a decent piece of work with a lot of good character actors, an otherworldly quality that intrigued me, and some familier faces that I will never see together again, on this side of the veil. Hope this helps.Movie Review: Waste of time, talent, film, you name it!
Summary: 1 Stars
Save your money. Save your time. This movie makes Ishtar seem bearable. If you have not seen the original film of 'We're No Angels' - whose cast was better than this version's by the way, and the script far surpassed this dud, then find a copy of the original. It's got Humphrey Bogart and Peter Ustinov - two of the best reasons I know for watching a movie - along with the inimitably villainous Basil Rathbone and the bumbling likeable Leo G. Carroll (aka Mr. Waverly in 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'). Sean Penn left comedy behind with Ridgmont High and can't seem to find that magic again. Robert DeNiro is certainly capable of comedy but first he needs a truly funny script. Everyone has something they don't want on their resume, and I'd guess that for both actors it's this movie.Movie Review: Don't waste your time
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because I thought my family would enjoy seeing a newer version of "We're No Angels" after enjoying the 1955 Bogart version so much. (Great film!) After previewing the Robert De Niro version last night, I threw it in the trash. Demi Moore's partial nudity and language makes it inappropriate for family viewing. The comedy was not done well enough to make me laugh even once. Sean Penn's character was the only one that made me watch the film to the end; I wanted to see how he turned out.
