Synopsis

A relentless black comedy with an amazing ensemble of actors. Based on a play by David Rabe which chronicles the non-events in the lives of a group of fast talking, narcissistic, L.A. based professionals, who can't seem to slow down long enough to breathe, let alone make sense of their lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a movie for everyone., 14 Jan 2001

By A Customer

If you want to see a movie with a very specific solid plot this is probably not for you. It may appear to be just a big collection of meaningless conversations but if you're in the right mood to sit down and really listen to the dialogue I think you will be pleasantly suprised. I have to agree with the previous reviewer, this is very much an actors movie with Penn, Spacey and Palminteri giving searing performances. The movie itself is about life, to be more specific, the lives of four men and their ups and downs, actually just their downs. None of these men are particulary likeable in any way which is why the movie is so unique. The movie does reach a conclusion in the end (not a very obvious one i'll grant you but it's there) so stick with it. If you give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Through all the chaos it reaches a subtle conclusion., 13 Nov 2000

By A Customer

In my experience: It's a roller coaster ride of crazy events. It's a mad rush of endless and seemingly senseless dialog. It's like one of those dreams where everybody is talking at once. But then:

It's one of those movies that's made by the performances of the actors. It's also one of those movies that you don't really realize what's the point while you're watching it, but rather, it is afterwards that you realize that you've been touched by it, and that there's something there that you can relate to. This one has a very worthwhile message and meaning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun yet disturbing., 1 Jan 2004

By	R Jess "Raymond Jess" (Limerick, Ireland.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hurlyburly [2000] (VHS Tape)

I was surprised I hadn't heard of this film before, considering the box-office draw of the actors involved. I then realized after putting it on that it was more of a 'vanity' picture. A literary book rather than a 'blockbuster' novel. It's taken from a play, is of course very theatrical and allows the actors involved to flex a bit more of their acting muscle than they would have been given in a conventional Hollywood movie. It's a very masculine play and is quite satirical on the nature of men's emotional inadequeces. Whether they be childish emotions (Sean Penn, Chazz Palminteri) or just plainly non-emotional (Kevin Spacey, Garry Shandling). It also makes no disguise of the characters' blatent mysoginy, exploring the darker side of the male psyche with comedic results. The fast-paced, intelligent dialogue makes it a pleasant change from the usual mid-west subject matter.

I started to feel slightly relieved when I thought that this mightn't be an exploration of men's psychological make-up, but rather a satire on Hollywood movie executives. However concern started creeping back in when I realized these could be some of the brains behind what we consume on TV and at the movies.
