Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

tsf-1962 This truly obscure neo-noir from 1988 is memorable as Uma Thurman's first starring role and also has a bit part from Steve Buscemi. Quentin Tarantino must have seen it since he cast both of them in "Pulp Fiction." The DVD retails at WalMart for $1.00, which is about what it's worth. "Kiss Daddy Goodbye" has an intriguing storyline but is so low-budget as to be literally unwatchable: the lighting is poor, the photography amateurish, and night scenes are literally invisible. On the plus side the eighteen-year old Uma oozes sex appeal and a sleazy sort of glamour which must have attracted Tarantino to her, and there are some gritty, realistic performances, particularly from Buscemi. The movie was produced with grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the West German Kunstministerium, another example of taxpayers' money going to waste.

ThrownMuse This is Uma Thurman's first movie. She plays a 20-something living in the East Village who goes home with men, drugs them, and steals their valuables. Then someone starts stalking her. That's really all there is here. This movie is boring, ugly, and poorly made. It isn't scary or creepy or anything. You know who the stalker is straight away because of the spoiler-ish movie title. Uma does an okay job, but her character is so boring and unlikeable that you could care less if she's being stalked. I suppose if you are an obsessive Uma fan, you might want to check this out. Oh, and Steve Buscemi is in one scene. File this under "horror flicks with random and non-sensical rabbit scenes." My Rating: 2/10

cd332-livejournal-com I watched this on my betamax last night again. The opening credits and music is fuzzy and lo-rez, wholly impressionistic. I am not one for expensive special effects, nor demanding of a well-crafted story or skillful acting. This movie just gives me a warm feeling, and at some level I think that's all it sets out to do. Uma is scintillatingly beautiful, ala '88 makeup trend at the time. This was the first movie I ever saw her in - before she became known - and I fell in love with her androgynous look immediately. Buscemi shows up, as well as a great cameo by east village music master Arto Lindsay (Ambitious Lovers) as a cab driver. Everything looks exactly the way it did in NYC '88, down to the horribly trashy dive clubs. If you watch movies for a certain feeling, you'll enjoy this one. If you watch movies in order to wax poetic like a fluke critic, then move on to some Oscar list.

Robert Clarke This film is sloppier than a school dinner. Awfully cheap picture quality, lighting was terrible, sound even worse – the background sound most of the time drowned out the actors voices. The acting, apart from a 17-year-old Uma Thurman and a cough and a spit part from the ever-reliable Steve Buscemi, was also abysmal. Paul Dillon, obviously a relation of Matt, was a needless and very dislikable character who made me want to fast forward every time he appeared on screen. This monstrosity of a film was cheekily re released again to look as though it was a new Uma film, I have seen it floating around on DVD in second hand shops and car boot sales on numerous occasions - and now I know why. Avoid.
