1240.0. "Grosse Pointe Blank" by FABSIX::JEN_RILEY (Man...what's next?) Thu Apr 24 1997 08:27

    
    I looked and couldn't find a note for the movie 
    "Grosse pointe blank"...I saw it this past weekend
    and thought it was a funny movie...
    
    I was wondering if anyone else saw it and their
    opinions about it.....
    
    Spoiler:
    
    I thought Dan Akroyd did a good job in this movie...
      He makes his character totally believable in a
      comic sort of way.
    
    I was very suprised that Minnie Driver could hide
      her accent that well for this movie...certain 
      parts in the move you can almost here it come out. 
      I saw an interview with her last week and I love 
      her real accent.

1240.1I like movies with good endings - this didn't have oneTNPUBS::NAZZAROUMass in 1998 - Final Four!Thu May 01 1997 14:1812
    I saw this movie last week, and enjoyed the first 3/4 of it.  John
    Cusack has been one of my favorite actors since the days of "Better Off
    Dead" and "The Sure Thing".  He certainly doesn't disappoint, and
    Minnie Driver is terrific as his high school girlfriend who he goes
    back to visit.  But once reunion night arrives, the script doesn't seem
    to know what it wants to do, and opts for a traditional shoot 'em up,
    ride off into the sunset kind of ending that doesn't fit with the
    quirkiness and originality of the rest of the movie.
    
    7 out of 10 from me.
