Customer Reviews of Denise Calls Up
Finally, a movie with some thought... This movie is funny and a little sad. We are fast becoming "disconnected" physically from the human race. We communicate via phones, emails, faxes, etc. Why even go out to the movies when you know it will be on cable in 3-5 months. We order in food, shop on-line and talk on the phone in text messaging and can speak to an advice nurse on the phone. This movie hits it on head! Funny, funny, funny. Frankly, I'm with Jerry (Liev Schreiber). I could live in p.j.'s and never have a need to leave the house. I may look into homeschooling the kids so I don't have to drive them to school and work from home. Starting to really like this idea!
Slick modern comedy surprisingly impressive!
Never judge a book by it's cover-that's what you learn from watching this trendy little grinfest. Although it's quite brief and it's got a cast of unknowns-it succeeds. In my opinion, a movie is a winner if it delivers effects that it's genre promises. For example, a horror movie is good if it scares you-a drama is good if it makes you cry or at least grabs your full attention. This parody of human communications IS funny, and it has the power to KEEP you staying in tune with the storyline. So many things happen in the characters' lives and we learn this by listening to dozens of brief phone conversations. With it's amusing subplots and charismatic characters, you will like this film.
Cast of Unknowns delights in "Ciber-Space-Age" Comedy
This unusual (to say the least) comedy is well ahead of its time with a message for all of us, who are so wrapped up in our work, that we have completely "un-learned" how to enjoy life. -- A 90-minute string of phone conversations, telephone answering machine messages and e-mails ends in at least TWO PEOPLE re-connecting with life they once knew as worth living. A group of "yuppie" friends is in contact only through modern day communication systems. When a young woman (Denise) calls the sperm donor, whose child she is about to give birth to, the cyber-serene world of the clique begins to rock. The scene where one of the friends leaves a phone message to another clique member while getting into a fatal car wreck is morbitly funny. This movie resembles a very long joke that entertains you while you eventually reach the punch line. There are many laughs, but the seriousness of the message behind this comedy remains after viewing. Have we all turned into little cell-phone-toting robots? Released in 1995, this film is in tune with our changing times. This film will "hit home" with a lot of people. Recommended!
