Auggie Rose (2000)

Very nice movie about a guy with a very profitable job, friends and money that doesn't "feel in his skin". This drama/love film makes the people that watch it think of what could be if... they had refused the offer of their live and said well we'll see what will happen- i just want to capture the moment here and now- and as they say in the movie:" Have i done enough" If you are on a mid-way no matter how old you are, no matter where you live or what you work, this is the type of movie for you. Just remember: there will always be another option for you, another way to walk or another person that will love u back. I recommend you watching this. A must see movie !!!

If you are someone who is at a pivotal point in their life, if you are in love, in love with love, or just enjoy interesting twists in plot and romance/drama that keeps you glued to the screen, then this movie is for you.I feel this is probably the best performance of Jeff Goldblum's career, and I am glad that he took this role on since it probably wasn't the type to gain him a lot of exposure. He made a total fluff film in Independence Day so he is allowed :P Anne Heche is surprisingly good. Wonderful actually, I 'feel in love' with her and all she wanted. I sympathize with taking such a chance for real love.The closure provided between Goldblum's character and his 'old life' live in girlfriend was welcome, as they both realized what a sham they were living with before, and that they are happier now.I sympathize with Goldblum's character in other jobs I have done/passed up - he was an insurance salesman, screwing over people with things they don't really need, for a check that will never replace the person. This movie is a thinker. A story illustrating the human condition. A story about the SEARCH for love and happiness, and what really can make one in love and happy. A story that cuts through the bull (and there is a lot of it!) and reminds you of what is pure and good. It gives you hope. Take the time to see this movie.

Jeff Goldblum is known for his quirky characters and his off kilter delivery. Once again his quirkiness works in this small gem of a movie. Having no expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by this tale of mistaken identity and rebirth. Jeff Goldblum plays John Nolan, an insurance executive in Armani suits and a rather nice car. His life seems to be idyllic, if not a bit stalled, when a bottle of wine and a bullet change everything. Nolan finds himself drawn to the life and death of a store clerk until he slowly begins to assume the man's life. Why would a successful business man want to step into the shoes of an ex-con? Goldblum's performance makes this life change subltly understandable. Anne Heche, craziness aside, has always been a fine actress and she is great here as the ex-con's pen pal. Sweet and naive she believes in this man and her capriciousness is contagious. She leaves her small town life to live with a man she's never met, but he's not the man she thinks he is. Check this one out for yourself.

Well this was the biggest surprise in movies so far this year, except that A.I. was a complete waste of celluloid. The movie features a GREAT story line, and it is easy to become immersed in the characters. Although I usually enjoy Jeff Goldblum (and enjoyed him here as well,...) I thought he was mis-cast and was not able to emote enough. Another acor may have neen a better choice. Over all, it was surprisingly well thought out...with a nice little twist or two at the end, and wonderfully filmed as well. I thought this was the best performance I have ever seen from Anne Heche. For film lovers everywhere, a must see.
