The Heartbreak Kid (1972)
Amazing movie!
This is truly an amazing movie, comic and tragic at the same time. How masterful the screenplay, the scenes, the characters. One actually cannot even predict how the movie is going to end until the very last scene. The main character played by brilliant Charles Grodin is the most intriguing and interesting character I have ever seen in the movies. One is not sure whether to love or hate this guy. He does the most despicable things and yet somehow is likable all through the movie. I actually did not realize he was just a masterful liar until 10 min before the end as he is quoting that morning s newspapers as something he has come up with on his own...or when he praises the food using some nonsense exaggerated compliments, or when he talks to people about his future business plans and fascination with "soil and going back to basics" only to end up talking about his admiration for "insurance business" 5 minutes later. I think he manages to deceive everyone because he is first of all deceived and confused himself. He is a man of contradiction, seemingly positive, determined and knowing what he wants only to discover a confused and unsatisfied, lost in every sense of the word, sad person. I think the character is actually developing and changing in front of our eyes until we discover in the last scene a very different Lenny from the one we were expecting to find. Truly a gem of the cinematography. Well worth watching! I found it on youtube...:) full movie. Enjoy!
The Week That Girl Died (1998)
Smart and funny
I liked this movie, it is funny and smart, I am glad I stumbled upon it. Screenplay is interesting- good buddies each struggling to find a relationship, it can be very funny at times, but most of all it contains interesting story twists. You will not get bored. Screenplay is good,it flows easily, excellent performance, very realistic, all actors are really good. I very much enjoyed the movie and the feeling it leaves behind. I feel as if I did not waste my time :). I found this movie on youtube and upon seeing it I was surprised that 2.282 users did not comment at all! So just go on youtube, watch it for free and see for yourself! I gave the rating 9 out of 10, that s how much I liked it. :)
