A Classic Film
|Posted .This movie is sometimes overlooked but it's such a gem with amazing characters played by an A list of actors. This movie is from Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame and like his other movies is something that you have to watch, spend some time thinking about it and watch again a few months later. You will see different things each time as the characters expose their souls (some raw and painful) and come to some powerful & personal resolutions.

One of Robin William's finest performances
|Posted .This to me says the nature of humanity, and how to come back from lifes challenges, no matter what life throws at you you will come back when someone is in your corner and is there for you, no matter how crazy, no matter how different they are, if you have that person in your corner you can be in the worst place on earth, but you will make it.

Classic Movie
|Posted .A Wonderful movie, an adult whimsical fairytale with a dark underbelly. Amazing performances from all, Jeff Bridges and Mercedes Ruehl are great together, Amanda Plummer is superb but the real star is Robin Williams, who is both zany and funny, as well as, serious and somber. Not to be missed.

Great Addition To Our Movie Collection
|Posted .This is a older movie that we have not seen and was delighted when I was able to purchase it from BestBuy at a good price so my wife and I can watch it anytime we want.

Loving Robin Williams I bought it as impulse buy.
|Posted .This movie had me on the edge of my seat. It was full of humor and heartbreak and so much more. A excellent comedy in part of Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges.

Fantastic film
|Posted .Terry Gilliam is a one of a kind genius filmmaker... just check out BRAZIL, TWELVE MONKEYS, FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS and of course MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges at their best.

A great movie about love and redemption
|Posted .This is one of Terry Gilliam's best movies. It brings attention to the homelessness problem and how mentally ill are treated by society. Great performances by Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges. Highly recommended.

The Ultimate Robin Williams Film
|Posted .No special features despite being a deluxe release (Criterion will remedy that soon), it's a brilliant film by Terry Gilliam and probably the only romantic comedy that won't make you wonder "...why are they together?"
