Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

joeortega-25621 This is a great biographical film based on the infamous Hustler magazine owner Larry Flint and his various battles with the US jurisdiction. Woody Harrlelson is in fine form as the titular character and Edward Norton, a new face when the film was made more than holds his own against far more experienced thespians. All in all if you enjoy court house films you will probably enjoy this one as well. Also Milos Forman is a legend who has made One flew over the cuckoo's nest and Amadeus and just for that you should give this one a shot.

Brent Burkwell Not worth my time, Flynt was a pig, period. He wasn't fighting for your free speech you losers, he was fighting because in porn, there is a lot of money, for men like him. He makes whores out of people, then he gets most of the money, they usually contract a disease. Read the history,wake up, liberalism is a lie. This movie should sit well with filthy liberals, but decent people will avoid it. -20 stars.

Raul Faust Well, considering I'm a law school student and I have always enjoyed 90's courtroom dramas, Larry Flint's story couldn't stand only in my wish list. That being said, last night I rented it and had a good time. "The People vs. Larry Flynt" differs from the main movies of the genre due to its eccentric characters, professionally portrayed by Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love. Harrelson's character is a man who does everything in his power to innovate and provoke the society, in order to expand the idea that we can't just accept what people say to us; we have to use our minds and do what we feel like doing, as long as it doesn't negatively affect other people's lives-- and that's an ideology I've always agreed with. His wife, on the other hand, is an uneducated girl who spent her youth years working with him in the pornography industry, never seeming to care whether it was right or wrong, good or bad. Also, she is the one who helps Larry Flynt's fell apart, abusing of prescribed drugs. One sad thing I have to admit is that I actually LAUGHED at her behavior; I mean, she looked so junkie and crazy, mainly in the court scenes, that it felt absurd to see her that way. The juridical aspect of the movie isn't very elaborated or analyzed, given that the dramatical aspects of Flint's life are more in evidence than anything else. So, if you're looking for strong courtroom dramas, there are several better ones out there, like "Red Corner" and "Primal Fear". In case you'd rather see a drama involving someone's life, including its problems with the judiciary, this film is a good choice.

akash_sebastian Milos Forman's biographic drama, though a little dragging and momentumless towards the middle, is a well-made movie, with incredible acting to steer it through.The movie misses the point, and tries to portray Mr.Larry Flynt as such a likable honest man. Larry Flynt, who had countless number of wives and divorces, whose ex-wives claim he was a beater, whose own daughter accused him of sexual abuse, who disowned his own daughter, whose magazines are a bit too sexist... is idealized a bit too much in the movie. But for what purpose? Why not show him the way he is? The whole point is to concentrate on the importance of the first amendment; no matter what kind of person it is, and what he/she is trying to express, the amendment gives them the freedom to do so. If the story was told from the neutral point of view of the lawyer (played by Edward Norton), with the magazines and the religious institutions on either side, it would have made a more compelling point.The acting is top-notch, and the only thin which holds the movie together. Woody Harrelson is a delight to watch, and Courtney Love is surprisingly good in her acting. Mr. Nortan does a charming supporting role.
