More Twists than a Drunk Girl at a Sock Hop

Goodbye Lover boasts the talents of Patricia Arquette, Dermot Mulroney, and Ellen DeGeneres in an exciting and twist filled dark comedy. Arquette plays an awesome femme fatale and DeGeneres fills the screen with laughter with her characters cruel and cynical wit. The twists will keep you guessing and "The Sound of Music" adds some great, if dark, comedy to this fun film. Definately worth buying for a fan of dark comedies or people who enjoy twist after twist. Goobye Lover also has neat camera tricks involving mirrors and a wonderful orginal score by John Ottman. Check it out.


Surpisingly "Good"

I didn't know what to expect from this film besides a fun waste of an hour and fourty five minutes, but how wrong I was! This witty little dark comedy stars Patricia Arquette (Personnally, I've never been a fan), as a sleek and sexy woman who isn't being very faithful. Things happen, people die, and that's where it all begins! If you're thinking to yourself, "How good could a movie be co-starring Ellen DeGeneres?", you are not alone. But you are wrong. For Ellen made the movie for me, and she most likely will for you too! Check it out, let out some sick twisted laughs, and enjoy!


THE ELLEN AND RAY SHOW

GOODBYE LOVER is a tasty and original film noir featuring incredibly good performances from its entire cast. Director Roland Joffe (Oscar nominated for THE MISSION and THE KILLING FIELDS) puts his tongue in his cheek and helms a story of battling femme fatales.BR>Patricia Arquette (brilliant) stars as a ditzy, sexually overactive wife to headstrong advertising executive Dermot Mulroney (also very good). She is also having an affair with Mulroney's brother, played beautifully by an unusually effective Don Johnson. Also involved is Mary Louise Parker as an assistant to both Johnson and Mulroney, who has the hots for ..hmmm...both the brothers? Soon, we know it's BODY HEAT all over when a plot is hatched to bump off Johnson for the four million dollar double indemnity insurance payoff. It's no plot spoiler to reveal Johnson exits the movie early and we see that there is more than meets the eye to the romantic shenanigans of all involved.BR>Then enters Ellen DeGeneres and Ray McKinnon as the detectives investigating Johnson's apparent accidental death. Generes is awesome; her one liners with McKinnon are priceless, harsh and incredible. Not one of her fans, I find myself in awe of her talent, particularly after this and FINDING NEMO. McKinnon as her Mormon, idealistic, and quite unintelligent partner, is a find! He's perfect as Ellen's foil and he brings a sense of moral uprightness and comic relief to this marvelous movie.BR>Some great moments: Arquette and Johnson getting it on in the choir loft while the choir sings Handel. Arquette and Johnson are both highly respected members of their church and take up the collection plate. Mulroney goes to hire a killer to off his wife, and we see this man hanging upside down and don't know why! We see "what if" thoughts from both Johnson and Arquette that mirror what they'd like to see. While questioning a cook in a restaurant, DeGeneres (who always seems to be eating), is stealing food while McKinnon questions the cook. At one point in the movie, Ellen asks her partner if he's gay. (How's that for political correctness?). We never learn why she asks that particular question, and in a particularly joyous moment near the end of the film, McKinnon pulls a joke that has you riveted to your seat.BR>This is a real find...it's worth buying, it's that good!
