Just a quick comment. If Hugh Grant and his agent are intelligent, Hugh will keep rehashing his earlier hit "4 Weddings". Every reincarnation will be a box office and critical success. He just has to keep finding American actresses that find him irresistible. Prediction for the next film: Cameron Diaz. Although Ewan MacGregor may already have her locked up.
Sufficiently skewers the late-night circuit. The most important names in 21st century comedy were on this show. Forget Seinfeld, this was the funniest show on TV of its time, because it felt so real. Can Garry Shandling ever do another show after this? He may have shot his career in the foot after exposing the true demons that run in entertainment circles. Devastatingly funny and will be influential to many. One of a kind. "I hate you, I hate my audience, I hate this network, I hate this job, I hate myself. So, your show is on Tuesdays at 8:30 on ABC, right? We'll be right back. Stay tuned."
What is this movie? A road picture, a thriller, a farce, a touching drama, a fish-out-of-water comedy, a love story. It's all of these things and a lot more. jeff daniels is charlie driggs, a wonderfully multi-dimensional "nice guy" whose life is just going by without a blip. he desires challenge, mystery, intrigue, passion. enter lulu (m. griffith). she whisks him away for a weekend which he will never forget, living carefree in the present, but never quite outrunning the past. Liotta as Ray, griffith's ex-husband, is absolutely amazing. His wrong-side-of-the-tracks ladykiller is psychotic but also the voice of reason. It's nice to dream of beauty and love, but there is a dark side which Ray's character reveals. All in all, a film which I have watched several times, always revealing new things, such as John Waters as the used-car salesman, John Sayles as the motorcycle cop and the Feelies as the high-school reunion band, who filled the musical gap left by the Velvet Underground......
