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.

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?"

A forgotten Robin Williams Gem
|Posted .A redemption story through the eyes of Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges, told by Tery Gilliam. a Story with a heart, that can make you laugh at the excess of the 90's, and the Howard Stern culture of the time. With a happy ending and a song about NYC!

Newly found Robin Williams movie
|Posted .New Robin Williams movie found for us. Looked for the movie purposely because on movie reviewers 'must see' list. Sadly, it is a bit slow, but a lot of great acting. Very different from the Robin Williams norm we are used to.

Fantastic dramedy, one of Williams' best
|Posted .When the name Robin Williams is mentioned regarding film, the high points are Mrs. Doubtfire, Flubber, and Good Morning, Vietnam. While all of those films are great, this mid-90s gem is worth seeing.
