Boltneck

I have watched this movie about ten times now, and I notice something new and funny each time. I thought every character was well-played. Of course you have to suspend reality somewhat, but what horror/ reanimation movie doesn't require that. This movie is much more a comedy than a horror flick. The delivery of some lines is priceless Frank:"I can get a brain from my dad's lab!" Tuttle:"Oh, how convenient!" Perhaps this movie is better watched after a few beers - anyhow, it is my favorite in its' genre.

It is easy to forget this film. You can see how Ryan Reynolds went from this forgettable film to being a big movie star though. Maybe that's one of the redeeming qualities of this largely forgettable film loosely based on the Shelley novel of Frankenstein. Great casting included Shelley Duvall and Judge Reinhold as Frank Stein's parents. Matthew Laurence played Frank Stein, a good high school student who gets mixed up. Ryan Reynolds played the oddball student who becomes Frankenstein's monster. The plot is a bit problematic. When you choose to ignore the obvious problems with the script, you can enjoy the film. Shelley Duvall was great in it as Frank's mother.

This film is a nice if unimposing blend of Beetlejuice & Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It has a good pace, fine timing, & excellent performances (especially by Ryan Reynolds as the "monster"). Truly a serendipitous experience.

I don't care what David Beckham says.This movie is an amazing bit of early naughts schlock.

I saw this film in the video under the release title "Boltneck". I was pleasantly surprised!! The film was funny, slick, and really well acted. A Fun Halloween Movie!! I rented with intentions of just "Killing Time" and ended up really enjoying it!!
