buffalo ? 66 is a very rarely known movie that stars vincent gallo and christina ricci .
|
|
gallo plays a very troubled man , who was sent to jail for gambling .
|
|
once out of jail , he must visit his parents , who he told he was married .
|
|
the truth is he isn't married .
|
|
to try to impress them , he kidnaps a girl ( christina ricci ) from a tap dancing class to act as his wife .
|
|
the film is very cheaply made , and it shows it throughout a lot of the movie , but you don't need money to make a good film .
|
|
buffalo ? 66 doesn't always stay with the realistic concept , and sometimes goes through outrageous events .
|
|
gallo's parents , played by angelica huston and ben gazarra , are two very strange individuals .
|
|
the mother plays a football fanatic and the father plays a quiet man with odd habits .
|
|
gallo and ricci arrive at his parent's house , and some extremely funny scenes take place within the house .
|
|
ricci's performance during the scene at gallo's parent's home are very well done .
|
|
there is constantly humor involved in the interesting dinner table scenes .
|
|
the way the movie was filmed in this particular part of the movie were interesting and creative .
|
|
they seemed very mediocre , but they worked out just fine .
|
|
gallo's character is developed very well .
|
|
the impression that he is very depressed and confused is very clear .
|
|
gallo gives a performance that makes you believe what the character is going through .
|
|
his character goes through many , many problems , just like many people in real life .
|
|
this character seemed very realistic to me .
|
|
ricci's character is funny and different .
|
|
she doesn't care much that she has been kidnaped , in fact , she falls in love the man who kidnaped her !
|
|
ricci is a very wonderful actress and she is starting to get the recognition that she deserves .
|
|
buffalo ? 66 isn't all laughs though .
|
|
many scenes are very dramatic and depressing .
|
|
gallo's character was so realistic , he was extremely disturbing .
|
|
some scenes are supposed to come off as funny , but they actually seemed sad and real to life .
|
|
the film sometimes drags along , not giving much material .
|
|
i really would have liked to see gallo's parents a lot more , and i would have liked to see the characters developed more .
|
|
overall , buffalo ? 66 isn't as good as some people put it up to be .
|
|
the bottom line- a few hysterical scenes save this film from sinking to the bottom .
