Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Leila Cherradi Though I didn't like every single minute, especially the beginning, the actors were outstanding with authenticity. And the exposed themes were wonderful! It is the opposite of what we usually get from America. But it is a true art movie. I could see myself having those kind of conversations when I was young. It is really good, but unflattering. And if the story of stopping this movie is true, that is very very very sad. But the joy is, for someone who seeks the truth, nothing can stop it, no dollars, no fame, no lawyers, no anything.I am very interested in Leo DiCaprio's journey as he represents many many aspects of the contemporary human being mental struggles. And I wish he reads these things here sometimes, or on Youtube too, and if he does, I wish to tell him : boy, nothing's better than the truth. You are good without all the appearance efforts. Would you let us see you as you really are?
richy29 SPOILERS AHEADI completely missed the discussion about this movie being 'banned' from the theaters in the US. I don't think it's a big loss though. There's just too many Big Topics in this movie to be dealt with in 96 minutes. At least for this director and/or his team of writers. Stories and confessions that are supposed to have a lot of impact, just fall flat. And before you know it there was another member of the cast sharing a terrible secret. In the end I just went: 'Oh dear, so your father killed himself. Bad luck, bro...'The acting was interesting though. I've never been a Leo fan and that didn't change after seeing Don's Plum. But I thoroughly enjoyed Toby Maguire as a total wacko. Meadow Sisto was very convincing too, although her character was rather dull. The gimmick with the bathroom mirrors worked well in the beginning. But the novelty wore off rather quickly and it soon turned into nothing more than that: a gimmick. And of course it matters a lot who's in front of the mirror. Some of the performances (like the 'Okay, so I was abused!' scene or the 'hurt hippie' sequence) were just pathetic. I'd say see it if you're a fan of one or more of the cast members. But don't go out of your way to get hold of it. It's just not a good movie.
plury Rather dull film overall. It was a stretch to turn this short shot in 1996 into a feature length film, but still interesting to see some of Hollywood's hot young stars improvising in low budget cinema before they were the mega stars that they are today (notably leo pre titanic and toby pre spiderman).
kathys1977 this is definitely a movie that is not always easy to watch. Its about a group of kids that go and hang out at a restaurant called "Don's Plum". if you are a fan of any of the actors in the movie you really should try to see it. there are some really interesting performances by Dicaprio, Maguire, and Jeremy Sisto . You will definitely see them all in a way that you have never seen them before
