Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - The Relationship Between Frogs and Men I don't watch many movies, and I don't care for many I watch, but I pop this one into the VCR about once a year. Can't get enough of it. John Huston's narration makes this movie, especially his soliloquy on frogs and humans...true to Steinbeck, for a few lines, anyway. I note that Amazon's critic didn't like the movie's pace, but it seemed to me to be true to Steinbeck's writing. Read Cannery Row or Tortilla Flat, and you'll see that Steinbeck's rhythms - and those of the people of whom he writes - are faithfully reproduced. Look elsewhere for your taut thriller. As a jazz fan, I loved the score. Nolte and Winger...what can I say? Their chemistry is perfect. This one's a keeper. Rating: - The "It's A Wonderful Life" of the 80s and beyond... This movie, shot almost entirely on a soundstage, is one of the greatest feel-good movies of the 80s and beyond. Right up there with "Terms of Endearment," this is one of the best movies Deborah Winger has ever been in. Nick Nolte is at his best as a confused bachelor who, like everyone else on Cannery Row, is trying to forget his past, but still finds love in this topsy turvy world of society misfits. With the help of an excellent cast of the best character actors in Hollywood and the dialogue (based on John Steinbeck), this is as heartwarming a film as anything Frank Capra might have had a hand in. Rating: - Steinbeck and Egregious Contrivances? Get a rope. It's clear that the majority of viewers who've watched this movie disagree with the reviewer so disappointed by it's pacing and verisimilitude. I'm curious why anyone capable of scattering terms such as 'egregious contrivances' in their review of a light romantic comedy was assigned to anything based on Steinbeck's work in the first place. A populist romantic comedy is one film category where it may be wiser to trust the opinion of the viewers who're raving about it over the sneering technical quibbles of a critic armed with a thesaurus. Populist film based on populist fiction simply may not be the best assignment for any reviewer clearly unable to climb off what must be a most uncomfortable corncob. For ordinary folks not frightened by references to egregious contrivances and verisimilitude, other viewers who've seen Cannery Row unite in recommending the movie for it's performances by Nolte and Winger. M. Emmet Walsh outdoes himself as Mack, nearly as good a performance as his masterpiece in 'Blood Simple'. Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday were among the sweetist and funniest books that Steinbeck produced. Perhaps all the humor that the rest of us enjoyed in the film combining the novels was difficult to enjoy while perched atop that unfortunate cob. For Steinbeck fans, or fans of romantic comedy, this film won't disappoint. We join together in urging anyone suffering from egregious contrivance phobia to seek immediate help at the nearest competent proctologist.
