Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

generationofswine He doesn't moan when he has sex...well, no. That's not exactly a prison thing. I mean, being in high school is sorta kinda like being in jail. You want to be free but you still live with mom and dad and...YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW.I figure that would go double if you grow up in a big city with small apartments and thin walls.You're not even going to doink too hard least they hear the bed.Nope, don't buy it. Even now that, almost pushing 40, I am so used to it, it has been so ingrained in me that even now when I am almost 40 I'll put my hand over her mouth if she starts making too much noise."Shut up or they'll hear." "Who?" "It really doesn't matter."My neighbors, my roommates, my siblings, my co-workers, the dog in the unit next door, it doesn't matter I would be so much happier if they are assumed I was a virgin.But then, I still live in a city and the walls are thing. i was still raised Irish-Catholic and working class. My parents never had money.My girlfriend, she comes from some money and she has no problem making noise. She was the product of an actual house with thick walls and no college roomies. The person that wrote that line is from money. Money enough to have grown up somewhere with actual walls and not paper separating units in a big city.Yeah....that's my review. It's a good enough movie, it is certainly an original love story, not something you see in MOST romantic comedies...The protagonists are BOTH poor. They BOTH work. Usually when I am dragged to see a movie like this, the guy is rich and can give the girl EVERYTHING she's ever wanted if they just fell in love and, oh, isn't that romantic?Nope...can't relate to that. I've never been rich and what passes for Romantic movies to me always seems like the "Republican and the Gold Digger" kinda movie. It is so romantic, he is so rich....Nope."Frankie and Johnny" is totally different. You get the sense that it is an actual love story, it's really about romance and not wealth and sex. You get the sense that the people really care about each other. This is a relationship based on emotion and not the fantasy of landing a rich man.You don't see many movies like this. It's refreshing....and Al Pacino, so, you know, you are kind of required to watch everything he's ever been in. I'm sure that's a law somewhere.

SnoopyStyle Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an isolated waitress working at a greasy Manhattan diner with a cast of wacky characters. She's recovering from a bad marriage. Her best friend is gay neighbor Tim (Nathan Lane). Johnny (Al Pacino) recently got out of jail. Diner owner Nick (Héctor Elizondo) gives the ex-con a chance as the fry cook.There is a needed change when a romantic role written for Kathy Bates goes to Michelle Pfeiffer. The switch can be done smartly. Pfeiffer looks like a Hollywood starlet no matter how plain the makeup girls try to make her. The simple fix is every straight male character has to make a pass at her. It would be more believable and it would allow Frankie to reject every one of them. She would be alone by choice which fits her character perfectly. It's really weird when Pfeiffer asks why Pacino wants to go out with her. Get a mirror.If one ignores that problem, this is a pretty good romance with two of the best actors around. They deliver compelling performances. Pacino has a fun bit of prison sex. Pfeiffer's loneliness is palpable but her beauty does need acknowledgment by the movie.

Anais79 OK, i do love romantic comedies and i'm not ashamed of it. And this one is really, really lovely. It's a little bitter but with a nice sense of houmour as well. Michelle Pfeiffer is delicate as always and Al Pacino... well... everything he does is so great!!! Even if he plays a role in an unpretentious comedy like this one. It sounds a bit strange for me the fact i like Pacino so much, 'cause he's the most academic actor we have nowadays (together with De Niro, off course), but he's got such a charisma that makes me forget that man is the Actor's Studio itself. Anyway if you want to spend a lighthearted evening, Frankie & Johnny is the right movie.

Framescourer A light-touch - soft-touch - but by no means flippant romantic comedy between two middle-aged, working-class New Yorkers. Franky and Johnny also has the considerable clout of some great acting and proved chemistry. Surely this film secured its green light when Pacino and Pfeiffer agreed to come together eight years after their doomed romance in Scarface?Whatever its provenance it's a delight although, like many romcoms the drama fizzles out somewhat when the lovers finally come together. The drama of Franky and Johnny is in the seduction against a background of disappointment and failure. Al Pacino's Johnny is an ex-con; his job as a grill man in a diner might not be the last chance saloon but the table of options for his life has been seriously depleted. Frankie (Pfeiffer) is also heading for a permanent position on the shelf until Johnny gets a crush on her. Cue all sorts of easy-going shenanigans familiar from the likes of When Harry Met Sally and Pretty Woman (also directed by Marshall) and churned up with some super cameo interjections from Nathan Lane as the beard-in-proxy. A great date movie. 6/10
