Customer Reviews of Welcome to Collinwood
It'll make you keep pressing that REWIND button. This movie had me laughing all the way. <
> <
>It all takes place as a crook gets nabbed for grand theft auto. Right away he is hauled off and forced to share the cell with a man who has a funny secret and traditionally wants to pass it onto someone before he dies laughingly. But this is not a story about the old man. This is a story of a group of not-too-smart criminals in pulling off a master of a 'belini', what is referred to in the film as the Big Hiest. <
> <
>But first, they need a 'Lavenski', a person to take the wrap for the man in jail, you'll find that the movie makes up a lot of words but you'll get the hang of understanding them all. <
> <
>The group is formed when each member is requested to become the lavinski for the mere sum of 15,000 dollars. But, in telling that person, the word spreads, as they search for a lavinski, of the job and of it's grand total that racks into close to 300,000 dollars. <
> <
>These bumbling knuckle heads pay tribute to the likes of THE THREE STOOGES and THE MARXX BROTHERS in their gags and criminal endeavors. Some of the humor is in your face at times but there are other times where it's just crossing wittiness and absoultely gut-busting funny. The best character in this movie would have to be The hunching old man with red hair. He's the classic old-timer crook who sometimes doesn't have a clue. <
> <
>You'll fall in love with this homage to heist comedies. It has a 1930's flavor but the time period is never really annoucned in the movie. But the costumes play a role in dipicting the fictionalized town. <
> <
>Also, be on the look out for GEORGE CLOONEY who plays a small role in the film, after all, of course he would, he's one of the executive producers. <
> <
>This is a very funny movie that will have you laughing out loud. You may not like the ending but you'll love all of the gags in between. <
> <
>Enjoy!
too slow for today's style
A remake of "I Soliti Ignoti" ["Big Deal on Madonna Street"], a Mario Monicelli masterpiece of italian cinema made almost 50 years ago, this plot takes place in a inner-city industrial urban neighborhood of Cleveland. Having seen the italian original, it is remarkable how the same characters are cloned to modern-day cleveland. For example, the uptight and old-fashioned Michele from Sicily is now a stylish afro-american that could be a pimp. But while the original had a beat to it that engaged the story to evolve from one scene to the next, as a good page-turner book would do, this remake languished. The original had a really good musical beat that acted as a "page turner". This one does not. Too bad: we need more independent and local film production, but more post-production here would have helped, also to speed up the pace in today's even-more accelerating expectations from the audience.

A great film on several levels
Loving misfit comedies as I do ... (OK, loving George Clooney as I do) ... and being from Collinwood myself long ago, I decided to check out Welcome to Collinwood.

<
> Bad news first ... I was disappointed in Clooney's role. Good news ... that was all I was disappointed in. THis movie was a laugh riot from beginning to end while at the same time conveying an endearing pathos. This is the first time I have ever seen a criminal caper movie and felt sorry for and touched by the lives of the criminals, even while I was laughing MAO. These guys "punch through" the problems in their lives with interesting results. Jeter and Macy are fantastic and if you ever wondered what was Sam Rockwells breakout role, this is it.

<
> I was born and raised in Collinwood in the 60's, and attended OH Perry school as a kid. This is not the Slavinian-rich neighborhood I remember but I guess nothing stays the same in this life, not even Cleveland. Check out this unique movie about my old neighborhood, you'll be glad you did.
