Audience Member A film that seems promising since half the cast of "Goodfellas" appears in it. An okay story is essentially destroyed by a ridiculously drawn out and languid pace. It feels about 6 hours long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Me costó trabajo entender y sentirme involucrado en esta película. En específico, tuvo que ver con su personaje, Ruby Dennis (Joe Pesci), tan medianamente construído y dibujado, que antes de la primera mitad perdí el interés por él. ¿Qué es lo que realmente quiere Ruby? Triunfar como cantante en Las Vegas -al menos es lo que la sinopsis especifica-, aunque sinceramente, poco es lo que hace para lograrlo. Es evidente que le gusta su compañera cantante del grupo musical, pero poco o nada hace al respecto. Dear Mr. Wonderful (1982) está dirigida por el alemán Peter Lilienthal, aunque desafortunadamente tiene tantos problemas en su guión (firmado por un tal Sam Koperwas, su único guión escrito a la fecha) que, al menos a mí, acabó aburriéndome. Más en pantallanueve.blogspot.com Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A tragic piece of work... someone actually got me this as a Xmas present ?? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A low-budget film about the 'American Dream' shot in West Germany during the early 1980s; written, directed, and funded by Germans yet performed by English-speaking Americans is strangely off-kilter in its sensibilities, which makes it both quite bad and quite interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ruby's Nightmare, Mr Awful, more like. What a load of rubbish. Can't see why they bothered resurrecting this to DVD, surely nobody wants to see it again. Also could they not have sorted the picture quality out it was awful. Fans of Joe Pesci will be thoroughly disappointed as he is neither violet or funny in this Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
