Being from the Bronx and working for a landlord who is the
owner of many such buildings, and strangely enough, VERY
similar to Louis Sr, I can appreciate the comedy aspect from
both sides. And it really is closer to the truth than most
people think. Unless of course, you live in one of these
buildings. I don't recall what Borough this is supposed to
take place in, but New York City is full of them.
Very funny movie. Pesci and Co. are all outstanding.
Only those with ice water in their veins won't get misty-eyed watching this moving film about the friendship of two professional baseball players, one of whom--in every sense--is playing his last season. A pre-stardom Robert De Niro portrays a rather simple-minded rookie catcher who comes under the wing of a veteran pitcher (Michael Moriarty). When De Niro's character is diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, Moriarty tries to help him get through one more season. Directed by John Hancock and based on the novel by Mark Harris (who also wrote the screenplay), the film builds on baseball's ability to foster its own lore of courage, nobility, loyalty, and--sadly--tragedy. Watching the youthful De Niro and Moriarty, with all that promise in their bones, adds to the overall romance of the film...

In yet another of a long line of lame Blake Edwards's films in the 1980s, John Ritter stars as a compulsive womanizer trying to get his impulses under control as he seeks to reconcile with his ex-wife. But his gonads get the better of him every time, and they also get the better of the jokes here, which are distinctly few and far between. Indeed, the film has only one sure laugh, a rather tasteless scene involving a darkened room, glow-in-the-dark condoms, and two men, neither of whom realizes the other is there until the lights go out and they've stripped for action. --Marshall FineMore Info About This DVD Actor(s): John Ritter - Vincent Gardenia Director(s): Blake Edwards DVD Release Date: Released the 04 June 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours
