Customer Reviews of Mixed Nuts
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! It puzzles me. Nora Ephron made "Sleepless in Seattle", "You've Got Mail", and "Michael". They all grossed over $100 million at the American box office. "Mixed Nuts" grossed six million at the American box office, and has been subject to bad reviews. How can anyone be so mean as to say something bad about THE greatest Christmas movie of ALL TIME? Why is "It's a Wonderful Life" so hyped up? I thought that was ok. This on the other hand, is one of the main things I look forward to every holiday season. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Nora Ephron has made a feel good holiday classic which is a present to unwrap every holiday season. I wish everybody would realize that "Its a Wonderful Life" is "Isthar" compared to this wonderful movie. Ephron has directed a brilliant cast. Every single person in this movie is great. Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, Adam Sandler, Liev Schrieber, Rita Wilson, Juliette Lewis, etc. But there is one person who stands out the most and even beats Martin's charming performace-- Madeline Kahn. Just about anything she said had me in hysterics. She makes the role of the unhappy and lonely Mrs. Munchnik so lovable, nobody could have done it better. I thought she definatly deserved an Academy Award for this performance, she put in the funniest performance by an actress in a movie EVER! No other actress made me laugh as much as she did. Kahn is the only reason I watch "Cosby", because normally I never watch TV shows. After seeing her in this, you cannot resist her charm. Madeline also brings some of Mrs. Munchnik with her in her character in "Cosby". She is wonderful.Madeline Kahn, along with director Nora Ephron and a brilliant cast, make this a classic. If you want to escape your holiday woes, this will really lift your spirits with a laugh a minute and a touching ending. Buy this movie and watch it constantly in December like I do. It is a hunderd times more enjoyable than actully opening presents. For Steve Martin fans, this is his best and most charming. Nora Ephron should re unite this cast for another movie like she did with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan after the "Sleepless" success. No Christmas is merry without this movie. Need I say any more
A GUILTY PLEASURE!... (NOT for the easily offended!)
Let's face it, setting a comedy at a suicide prevention hotline center smacks of some truly tastless humor. However, black humor/farce doesn't bow to such societal pressure as "inappropriate subject matter". Clearly anyone who has felt the tragedy of suicide in their lives won't take to this one bit. However, that being said... "Mixed Nuts" is a TRULY hysterical film. Once again, the late MADELINE KAHN steals the show (like she did in "What's Up Doc?"). It stars a name cast including Steve Martin, Juliette Lewis, Anthony Lapaglia, Adam Sandler, Rob Reiner and Garry Shandling. Rita Wilson is an actress I'm not familiar with but who did a great job here and the drag queen played by Liev Schrieber was awesome!
The hijinks revolve around a suicide prevention hotline ("Lifesavers"!) run by a not particularly stable crew. The center is in danger of bankruptcy and all are in fear of the "seaside strangler". Following around the Christmas fruitcake throughout the film is a wonderful plot devise. Seeing Madeline Kahn stuck in the elevator trying to rap on an electronic keyboard is one of the funniest moments I've ever seen on film. It was to the great discredit of the producers of a recent biography on her that this film wan't even mentioned.
There are many, many funny moments here and even the soundtrack is exceptional. The upbeat, funky "White Christmas" at the opening, with views of a sunny beach and a snowman made of sand set the tone for this wacky and delightful film. Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" is great as well. If your looking for an outrageous, truly hysterical comedy and don't have easily offended friends, then this movie will make you a hit this Christmas season!!!
(Mainstream critics hated it... so you know it MUST be good! It must have been "incorrect" to publicly admit to liking it!!!) My congratulations to Nora Ephron for making a comedy classic.
Enjoy... and don't forget to pass the fruitcake along!!!
It is not that bad
I don't know why does almost everybody hate this movie. I think that's pretty funny.
The cast is excellent and the plot is so morbid that you can just laugh. I did. It was a kind of Married with children (with Al Bundy)-story because the movie wasn't so sweet like a candy...and we have several candy-chistmas films so I think is was time to do another type-movie as well.
So if you like something different and you can accept that chistmas is not the same for everybody, then buy it.
