gsm g Good take you back movie, Love the old cars and tracking down filming locations, watched this movie like a play with several acts or like reading a book taking breaks and coming back to finish the movie all the while pondering why Jeff d character would risk his normal life for one like this in the movie. Pause . I have twenty minutes left to finish watching. I saw Sister Carol in Mill valley at a show. I like how music is used in this movie with real musicians including the Freelies Pause. This movie is rich with trivia, locations 80s nostalgia and product placement. This movie makes you think , what would I do, Of course its highly unlikely you could keep up with someone on the run but for the plot it works. This is one of those movies where you count the times you would walk away from a situation but don't or This movie does not drag some movies like st vincent had so many cliches that I have to skip scenes I never felt that way in this movie. Pause,, enjoy! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Mike P Twisty cat and mouse mystery/suspense/comedy is very effective; switching manically back and forth between screwy caper comedy; and dark manic thriller; as a crazy, party-girl Lulu (Melanie Griffith) kidnaps the mousy, nerdy Jeff Daniels; and lesds down a maze of hidden traps and shock twists...As a high school reunion prank starts going way off the track...And we feel like we know where this is going; until the psychopath Ray Liotta enters into the game; and all bets are off..This is one of those movies that will genuinely surprise you; there's a twist in the third act that will knock your socks off. It's sort of What's up Doc; meets Pretty Poison; meets Straw Dogs...and all these leads, Ray Liotta, Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith; are terrific; all are at the top of their game here; and it's a pleasure to see all the power plays in this deadly love triangle game play themselves out ..In this deadly Paper, Scissors Rock game...And Jonathon Demme's reliably brilliant and quirky direction are the perfect springboard for this. Overall: Thumbs way up. A forgotten treasure from the 80s... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review matthias s Join the electrifying ride as Ray Liotta's menacing mobster character meets his match in the vivacious Melanie Griffith, leading to an unexpected series of events that'll keep you at the edge of your seat. The chemistry between the two stars is sizzling, and their dynamic performances make for an unforgettable experience. But it doesn't stop there – the supporting cast, led by the hilarious Jeff Daniels, adds layers of charm to this wild escapade. "Something Wild" flawlessly blends suspense, comedy, and romance, with a pinch of dangerous allure and is an absolute must-watch for anyone seeking a wild movie night! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review C The violence in this movie was excessive for a rom com. There is a hidden message in this movie to beware of people who have past relationships, that don't go away. Dating is not always fun. At times this was a tough watch, and there were not a lot of people too root for. Liotta, Griffith, and Daniels put in solid performances. This was one of the better 80's movies. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Farah R Something Wild is truly a wild ride from start to finish. What starts as a quirky meet-cute and the basic setup of any rom-com ends with a murder and not the typical fairytale ending. Unfortunately, most of the dialogue and humor are cringeworthy, and much of what made it appealing in the 80s lost its charm. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review James M From what I'm seeing tonight as a 60 year old this movie hasn't age well sure it has some interesting scenes and it has camp value but overall the movie at least to me at this stage in my life appears somewhat pretentious and over Acted like they're trying too hard And maybe I'm just not in the right frame of mind to see it but Melanie Griffith was very good but really overall she never was much of an actress although that's debatable Ray Liotta was a good heavy that was about it and Jeff Daniels..Some people think he's great some thinks he's overrated but I'm about in the middle still he was pretty well cast for this movie and he's really talented.Overall though the movie drags and goes on and on, and becomes somewhat ridiculous.
