To me, this movie is perfection.
Crappy film
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Gee, I hate to be the only dissenting voice about this film, Framed, an HBO Production from 1990. I love Jeff Goldblum, and Kristin Scott- Thomas is always good.An art forger, Wiley (Goldblum) in cahoots with his girlfriend Kate (Thomas) is arrested by Interpol a few minutes after she leaves with 5 million francs. He goes to prison for two years. When he is released, he goes to LA and gets a job as a bartender.Who should he see walking down the street one day but Kate? Believing that she set him up to take a fall, he approaches her. She's on the run from a ruthless man with a very odd name. Ultimately he learns she's engaged to a wealthy mobster (Michael Lerner) and has a plan to steal his Modigliani. She wants Wiley to paint a copy of it so it can be switched, then they will have the original and run off together.Wiley is then approached by a man from the FBI named Joak who wants to catch Kate and lock her up and elicits Wiley's help. He agrees. This film was certainly well-acted, and I liked the story, but I was bored. Maybe it was just me. There were some funny bits - the wedding, as was mentioned, is just one. The whole wedding scene, including an accomplice bringing in the cake, was excellent.Just felt it moved too slowly.
"Framed" tells of the misadventures of an art forger (Goldblum) and his lover/partner (Thomas). A light hearted romantic comedy with little romance and a quirky understated sense of humor, "Framed" makes for a cute but lukewarm watch. Not the kind of film one wants to drive to a theater and pay admission to see, "Framed" will be an enjoyable watch for couch potato fans of the principals who have an appetite for dry, subtle humor.
Loved this movie. Goldblum, Graff and Scott-Thomas have great chemestry. Also, agent Zoak was very good. I love the subtle humor of Graff. Reminded me of Bobcat Goldwrath.
This movie is a funny one. Of course it is, it is a comedy. The jokes were good, but sometimes the story had lacks. The acting was excellent, though. All in all I would recommend this movie to everyone who likes movies that are easy to watch.
