A Bizarre Love Triangle DVD

Advantages: Fantastically weird and wonderful
Disadvantages: None

...A weird and wonderful film with fantastic performances by all, especially Cameron Diaz (it took me a long time to recognise her). Poses some great questions about love and existence. Is it the soul of a person that we love or the physical person? The puppets are beautiful and the sets are magnificent. Once you have seen this film you will not forget it, unlike so many other films. You cannot forget the 5 1/2th floor, with staff bent double all day. The love triangle is sad and funny at the same time. Having never liked John Malkovich before watching this film - I felt terribly sorry for him being used as a pawn in the bizarre love affair between the 3 main characters. Very thought provoking, funny, sad, and above all very, very weird. Unmissable and unforgettable.... Read review

Advantages: Funny, happy ending
Disadvantages: long ending

...Do not worry if you re not religious because you will still understand and find this film very funny. Keeping the Faith tells the story of two men and a woman who get involved in a love triangle. The two men, a priest and a rabbi, both fall in love with the beautiful top business executive who they have been friends with since the eighth grade! The film has several funny moments, none of them too silly or childish like the ones you would expect to see with Jim Carrey in a film such as Me, Myself & Irene. The only let down of the film could be that it possibly goes on a little too much at the end and it could have been shortened, but this does not spoil the unmissable, funny love-triangle story in Keeping the Faith....

Advantages: Watchable enough and good leads
Disadvantages: Half baked philosophies and action sequences

...As pseudo-intellectuals go I guess this is passable. In case you don’t know this is about two snipers, one Russian and one German, during the battle of Stalingrad who go around trying to pop a cap into each others heads, seems interesting enough. Yet this film is unfulfilling on so many levels. Firstly there are many thought processes which are either shoe horned into the narrative, the peasant Russian soldier rivalling some rich German marksman, or are there simply by default, like the idea of two evil empires (in Western perception) fighting each other to decide the fate of the whole world (yes that does includes America). Also there is a bizarre, and I must repeat this, bizarre love triangle. There, I guess, to show the human side of the conflict, but when Wiesz is on screen she tends more to stifle the visual...
