DVD Reviews of The People vs. Larry Flynt (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Unbelievably boring
Summary: 1 Stars
Who cares about Larry Flunt? He's some redneck who tried to make a splash with a dirty pictures magazine. Big deal. That was two boring hours of my life I'll never get back.... DVD Review: Nice new edition of the DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I always liked this movie, but this edition with the new documentary and the commentaries from the director and some of the actors is a nice bonus.
It was definitely worth paying the extra few dollars in order to hear that, especially Woody and Milos each talking about the making of the movie.
DVD Review: A non conformist for the ages
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome movie. Funny a lot of the time yet gripping to see all the things Larry Flint went through . I was purley fascinated. I am now reading his autobigography, which is also good. DVD Review: Makes Boogie Nights Boring
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie. I laughed, and cried, and laughed again at this incredibly wild film. Boogie Nights can't hold a candle to this one. Look for a guest appearance by THE Larry Flynt.DVD Review: Very well done, Woody was terrific and should have been
Summary: 3 Stars
nominated for an Academy Award. Courtney was also terrific and also should have been nominated. They both played off each other well and pulled off a piece of history regarding "free" speech. which we know there really isn't any "free" speech in this country. Enjoy!
Description of The People vs. Larry Flynt (Special Edition)
Two-time Oscar? winner Milos Forman (Amadeus One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) directs Woody Harrelson Courtney Love and Edward Norton in this "smart funny shamelessly entertaining" film called "a blazing triumph" by the New York Times. Based on the true story of the notorious Hustler publisher who was sued by the Religious Right and paralyzed by a fanatic's bullet THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT is a stranger-than-fiction comedy about one man's outrageous public persona and eccentric private life. Chronicling Flynt's raunchy business savvy his wildly unconventional marriage and his infamous courtroom antics THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT is "the most scintillating and outrageous message movie of the decade. An ultrapop masterpiece!" PLAYBOY MAGAZINESystem Requirements:Running Time: 129 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?043396006058 Manufacturer No:?00605Leave it to Czech director Milos Forman (One Flew Over to Cuckoo's Nest) to make the most entertaining and offbeat celebration of the American Constitution that the movies have ever given us. You think the First Amendment was designed to protect you from offensive speech? Think again. The real glory of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights--as brought to life in this splendidly quirky and alternately reverent and irreverent comedy--is that it ensures everyone's freedom by protecting a whole range of expression, from the banal to the outrageous. Scripted by the writers of Ed Wood (another affectionately twisted biography of a disreputably eccentric entertainment figure), The People vs. Larry Flynt applies a similar sort of exaggerated and telescoped editorial-cartoon sensibility to the wild life and times of Hustler skin-magazine publisher Larry Flynt. It's the great (and fictionalized-but-true) American story of how smut-peddler Flynt--the poor man's redneck Hugh Hefner--ended up appealing a libel case (brought by televangelist Jerry Falwell) to the Supreme Court and winning a major legal victory that affects us all. Terrific performances by Woody Harrelson as Flynt, grunge-star-turned-glamour-puss Courtney Love as his wife Althea, and Edward Norton as their lawyer (a composite character). --Jim Emerson
