| Hurlyburly Review |
| by Mac VerStandig |
| Hurlyburly is an incredibly and frighteningly dark film. Although it is
filled with a very cynical and sarcastic humor as well, the movie itself
is shocking, disturbingly blunt and often hard to watch. And yet, awful
as it may sound; that is the...more |

| Hurlyburly Review |
| by Kevin W. Welch |
| This is a buddy movie, pure and simple. It's different from the
usual buddy flick in that it is based on a play (by David Rabe)
and therefore has a more sophisticated theme and snappier dialog
than, say, Lethal Weapon. Still, it's all about a bunch of...more |

| The word "hurlyburly" describes the thought patterns of Eddie the
Cokehead to a tee. As played by Sean Penn, hypersensitive Eddie is
like the wind-up toy that always threatens to stroll right off the
tabletop. Eddie just doesn’t let things go—at first...more |

| The ensemble cast of Anthony Drazan's screen take on David Rabe's
celebrated play is uniformly excellent, led by Sean Penn, who reprises
his stage role as Eddie, a drugged-out Hollywood casting director headed

| It would be easy to miss the point of a film like 'Hurlyburly'. That is
if it had one. I've been a movie critic for 15 years and I don't think
I've ever seen a more pointless film that rambles on and on and on like
a broken record and when it's over,...more |

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with making a movie based on a Broadway
hit; after all, such musicals as "The King and I," "Evita," "Grease" and
"Oklahoma" were hugely successful on both stage and...more |

| What a contrast! In the space of two days, I saw Shakespeare In Love

everything, shoving its philosophy of life down our...more |

| Hurlyburly is a very black comedy adapted by David Rabe from his own play.
On the surface, it is about a misogynistic casting director (Sean Penn)
trying to save his relationship with his girlfriend (real-life wife Robin
Wright-Penn), but actually it is...more |
