ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Python Hyena That Old Feeling (1997): Dir: Carl Reiner / Cast: Bette Midler, Dennis Farina, Paula Marshall, Danny Nucci, Gail O'Grady: Cruel comedy about the passion once felt by a couple now divorced. Paula Marshall is getting married and stressed about inviting her divorced parents. Dennis Farina and Bette Midler arrive and the bickering begins until Marshall orders them outside. This turns into an adulterous affair. Why would parents do this to their daughter on her wedding day? These parents are absent minded and selfish. Even worse is that the other characters are engaged in their own orgy. Predictable and shameless low for director Carl Reiner who once made hilarious insightful comedies such as The Jerk and Oh God. How h got reduced to this is a fact that is best not examined since he is known for material more intelligent than this. Farina and Midler are both talented comic actors capable of better than this. They aren't even remotely likable here. The fact that they lock Marshall in a hotel room so that they can continue their fling is revolting. Perhaps it might have been for the better for Marshall who is given little to do. Danny Nucci plays an obsessed photographer out to harass Midler while she is harassing her daughter. The film could have examined one's failed marriage and its desired passions but its humour dictates the experience as a joke, which is insulting. Score: 3 / 10

daffy11377 I found myself watching this today and absolutely loved it. The chemistry between the actors are just fantastic. It doesn't sugar coat anything. Its just like life. Messy and fun and it shows that the best things in life aren't perfect but sometimes they are perfect for you. It definitely delights down to the very last minute when the credits role. Midler and Farina are brilliant and the sparks that fly between them are palpable. The surprise twists don't stop coming. I was laughing throughout the movie. The therapist was played great. Absolutely hilarious on how he over talks everything. I can't wait to watch it again and see all the little nuances I missed the first time around.

princebansal1982 I can't believe they made this movie in 1997. It seems one of those 80's comedies. Which is not bad in itself, just the fact it somehow seems really dated. Everything seems to have done before. And audience have seen this many times before. Both Bette Midler and Dennis Farina have played many similar characters lots of times.Just within a few minutes you can guess what is going to happen. Script is predictable and clichéd, dialogs are cheesy straight from 80's. I am just surprised how this movie got to be made.The movie title itself serves as a warning. While watching this movie you also get that old feeling that you have seen it all before.

xavrush89 As larger-than-life as she is, Bette Midler manages to allow her co-stars to share the spotlight a little in this naughty comedy. David Rasche and Gail O'Grady could each carry a film on their own, and Farina's role fits him like a glove. Rasche was my favorite character. Jennifer Aniston was offered Paula Marshall's role as the daughter, but they wouldn't pony up $1 million for her. Marshall is fine, but Aniston may have been worth it to draw more people into the theatre and make this film the bigger hit it deserved to be. Her stuffed shirt of a husband exudes a sexy stuffed-shirtedness. But Nucci is annoying and his supposedly comic scenes with Marshall fall flat. He's supposed to be likabke, he's not. With Carl Reiner directing, it would hard to not find this film funny, and unpredictable. This film is not for people with conservative morals, but everyone else should enjoy it.
