4.0 out of 5 stars
Puts the comedy back into romantic comedy,
By The Sundance Kid (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sleeping Dogs [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
This film is essentially a romantic comedy - and is just as sweet as any fan of the genre would want it to be, however, it's not the dull, worthless fare which any non-fan (more like myself) would expect. This film is not only a little twisted in it's adult comedy but very realistically played and yes, actually funny - something i didnt expect to find. It's written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait - most familiar for his role as Zed in the Police Academy series but actually a respected stand-up who was highly regarded by still modern-cultural favourties Nirvana, who he was even brought in to open shows for! There are some great turns from actors/actresses you may not be familiar with due to them being from mainly US TV, however the main character you may recall from Desperate Housewives as Sister Mary Bernard. The plot is based around this main character, Amy, revealing a secret from her past, against her better initial judgement, to her fiance, who reacts not as you'd hope but perhaps as you'd expect - and the plot leads on as Amy's life falls dramatically apart (remember it's a rom-com though - not too much doom and gloom!). This is a surprisingly good film and it proves that you dont need a big budget and big names to make a good film - even if its a genre such as the rom-com which seems to rely on at least the latter factor for its continued success.

really engaging film about relationships and secrets. easily misunderstood, probably not helped by the mental director.

you either love this movie or you hate it,

This review is from: Sleeping Dogs [2006] [DVD] (DVD)
This movie is a great little movie...... and judging from the opinions there is no middle of the road, When it comes to this movie. You either love it or you hate it - you either get it or you you don't.
I got it and I loved it... this blokes act back in the eighties I did not get (shout-y bloke in the police academy films ) But he has a real talent for subtle dark humor and I love it. He is going to be big like John Waters one day! Love his movies or hate his movies. There is no way you can accuse his movies of being dull. That the subject matter is bland or uninteresting every character has a point and I really wanted to know what happens in the end. Next movie he brings out i am seeing it!!!!
