His and Hers (1997)

Best movie of this year hands down!

How sad is this?

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Liev Schreiber plays a husband who wants to have sex with his very pregnant wife played by Caroleen Feeney. They have chemistry together. Well when she is cutting carrots, she accidentally cuts off her husband's finger. She suspects that he is cheating on her and wants evidence. What begins as a simple plan to withhold his dismembered finger becomes a series of events to last the whole day and into the night. They go to their best friends house where there is confrontation and later to the bank where they get involved in a holdup and hostage situation but it's the burglars who are spooked. They end up in the hospital where even there. She won't let up on his cheating. She demands to know the truth. What could have been a silly farce of a movie becomes realistic although it's hard to believe you can drive through the Holland Tunnel and Garden State Parkway and Turnpike without paying a toll.

It is a wild ride from the beginning till the end, very "independent" great acting, very funny script. It is a perfect movie to see among friends. The music is great too. People like us, who loves creativity and tired of commercial movies that shows nothing are hungry for something different just like this film. Black comedy is what we need to see just to remember who we are, and how we behave everyday in an ironic way without getting upset o0r ashame of our acts. Me and my friends really had a blast when we saw it, and it is because some of us related with the characters in the story. Thumbs up for this piece of work.

I just can't believe that anyone could dislike it! All was excellent - idea, script, dialogues, soundtrack... It's a sight inside human's nature and character. Irony, sarcasm, black humor reveal the absurdity of our everyday life. And the main thing - it makes watchers THINK!!! 10 out of 10!

What happened to this film? I saw it two years ago at the Sundance Film Festival and was blown away with the rest of the audience. Recently, I got to wondering about it and... Where is it? I mean with all the junk that comes out, and with these films (and filmakers)...? I don't understand. I mean the actors were great, all up and comers. Not just the two leads which I remember vividly as an audacious couple, but also all the supporting actors. Particularly Danny Hoch. He was a riot! And I also remember the soundtrack which was a marvel. Anyway, anybody hear about this film or know what happened... let me know. Man, it's a real pity if more people don't see this film and many of the others that were shown that year. What happens to all those films anyway?
