Negative Positive
Title: Gosh, This Is A Swell Movie.
Review: This is a pretty neat latter day screwball romance comedy. The honcho who thought of casting Benicio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone as potential lovers is either a genius or ready for the asylum. Regardless there is palpable chemistry between the two that produces kinetic sparks. A bonus is Christopher Walken as Silverstone's ambiguous Uncle Ray. You didn't really think a mere band of bikers could intimidate the Walkenator, did you? If there's a gripe to made is that the story is kind of thin, trite, and predictable. That said I'm not going to complain about a movie that has the gumption, for the most part to go the beat of its own quirky rhythms. It recalled to me films like "Something Wild" and "True Romance" that defied romance film convention.
Is the review positive or negative?
