As a fan of David Bowie, when I rented this ages ago, I watched it over and over again. This movie isn't the best, it lacks any substance at all. It plays as a whimsical, fly-by-night, fluffy (as someone on here already said) film. The humor is mostly unfunny. However, the film manages to be very entertaining and energetic none the less, and of course, there is David Bowie who makes it all worthwhile! To sum it up: watch it on cable. I give it 5/10.
This movie was witty, clever and fun. It was even better the second time. Every time I see it, I notice something new.It is a true social commentary on the "trend-sucking leeches" of New York City in the 1990's.
This is almost a "screwball comedy", but not quite. The pacing is slower. The characters do and say silly things, but only after careful deliberation. Everyone in this movie is so cute you want to rub noses with them. No knee-slappers, but lots of chuckles and smiles. This is a good movie. This is a nice movie. It has a happy ending, which is rare these days. Bowie's acting was competent but unremarkable. I think it was nice to see a "steady-eddie" in the role. It's almost a conventional story with trappings of a farce. The audience knows it a farce. The players know its a farce. The players know that the audience knows its a farce. Therefore we all enjoy ourselves.
Ok. This was such a classic tale of Romance. I loved this movie. Lucy was the coolest chick. She was a Houdini lover. Monte was fine as hell. Duh! I mean he was played by David Bowie! Of course he was fine!!!I really think that this movie was great. It kept twisting. One minute you think Monte was crazy, the next a romantic schmuck. (hehe) This movie is a good one to see.
