KB B Yeah this was so stupid. I like De Niro but this garbage was way beneath his talent. Don't bother. 89 percent...Hmmmmmm Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Cees T Like it says on the poster: It's no laughing matter. 1/10 - Terrible editing, pace, comedy, acting, drama, lighting, and music. Watch Quick Change instead for more likable kidnappers, and Anchorman to redeem mustached presenters. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Christian K Enjoyed this a good amount, such a pathetic and painful main character, the secondhand embarrassment just from watching is crazy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Pedro G Muy buena película, una cinta incomprendida en su momento de salida. Esta película la considero una de las mas infravaloradas de Martin Scorsese, ya que tiene una historia excelente con un mensaje genial, abordando principalmente una critica a las celebridades y a la cultura mediática; además tiene un humor absurdo y satírico muy bien implementado. No fue muy conocida en su tiempo y recién en los últimos años se le empezó a dar mas fama por la inspiración que tomo "Joker" de esta cinta. Es una película algo lenta al principio, que te puede llegar a ser difícil de conectar con ella, pero que si lo haces te va a gustar mucho, ya que se me hace muy bueno ver los puntos a los que llega el protagonista para ser famoso o compartir tiempo con su modelo a seguir. Las actuaciones son muy destacables, Robert De Niro brinda un papel brillante haciendo de este cómico fracasado y loco; y a su vez, Jerry Lewis, esta muy bien haciendo de este famoso comediante algo egocéntrico y mala onda. En conclusión, una muy buena película que cuenta una historia muy interesante y con un mensaje genial que logra transmitirlo de excelente manera; creo que todos los amantes del cine deberían verla. La recomiendo.

In fact, although I'm far from a completist, this is probably his least successful film in my opinion. Now sub-par Scorsese is still loaded with wonderful characteristics, but I just didn't feel overall that the film fulfilled the potential of the premise. Pupkin's daydreams take up way too much time and seem to go on for eternity. Bernhard gives an awards-worthy performance, but the character isn't fully developed, and we never quite understand her obsession, even when she stands before him half naked. This is one of my favorite DeNiro performances - it seems more like a fully realized character than a shading of his gangster persona which inhibits so many of his creations. But Rupert gets to be a tiresome character to spend time with - sorta like being stuck in an elevator with a used car salesman for a prolonged period of time. By the end, I was exhausted. It also feels like the filmmakers didn't know what to do with Langford - Lewis is great in the role, but he is not given a resolution. I would probably be more forgiving with a lesser talent behind the camera, but when Scorsese is involved, it's impossible not to have sky-high expectations. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
