    Great movie...

    Mahalo, Joanna, this was a good one. Danny DeVito. Truly underrated. This is worth seeing just because of his performance.

    For those flixster friends who have been following my evolving thinking on the term "bittersweet," this is another movie which captures that mood. Ne

    ...( read more)ither tragic nor comic, and certainly not classically tragi-comic, there is a wistfulness to this film whiich, for me, can only be called bittersweet. After the horrible life he has had, the most receint blow being the death of his daughter, DeVito is on an upward curve. You know that his life has turned around.

    For Hunter, it is a different story. It is easy to believe that, as DeVito departs her life, she may have many more downward trending days ahead. It is sad, but it is so true in life. You make choces at moments that can lead you to the top, or send you rushing toward the abyss.

    A beautifully quiet and thoughtful movie.

    The Other guy in the elevator when she finally yells at her husband was funny; two words: sexy masuse; I loved Queen Latifah's character and the roles that music and dancing played in the movie; Fav. Quote: "When You're in the Gutter, you can see underneath alot of people."

    queen latifah had been making some great strides as actress through the 1990s. not only did she score as an aloof yet vulnerable jazz singer, she laid down a variety of jazz standards as sure as her best rap performances. this was her film for sure!

    Latifah sang really good though. those parts were best other than that it was ok
  • June 13, 2008
    This movie was pretty boring the only part worth watching is when Eddie Cibrian took off his shirt and pants and for that I will give him three stars
  • March 24, 2008
    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.
