True Friends

Hey, if you've got a sentimental bone in your body, you will like this movie. I was already to write a bad review, but then I read it was a true story, so I watched the whole thing, and I cried like a baby. Try it. If you've got dry eyes your a sad case. :)

The Goodfellas-esque, sepia stained "flashback" images inspired me to carry on watching, despite the cliched dialogue, I gave it more than one chance, and was let down at every step. With a plot as deep as Goldilocks and the three bears, this movie unsuccessfully attempted to rip off every movie made on the same subject. Every vague hint at the protagonists' dealings with lesser members of the mob was more like satire than artistic observation,no wonder that the one or two half-convincing actors looked uncomfortable uttering every word of this all too familiar script. Top this off with the Tv-Movie type tear-jerking scenario towards the end... well I was begging for mercy from straight-to-video hell. I wanted a refund, not only for my money but for the brainpower and energy I wasted watching this sugar coated drivel. PS If Martin Scorcese really gave praise to this picture (as the cover claims), I am seriously worried for his sanity.

A true story based on the lives of three best friends. This film will make you laugh and cry. Not just for New Yorkers but for anyone who ever had a friend in this life. A must see it can be rented in most video stores. A film with a message! Enjoy!

it all rings true, and I grew up there. It was interesting hearing them mention places or neighborhoods that I remembered. Though I never knew anyone like the characters- I grew up there earlier-, it was very realistic,never overplayed or succumbing to sensationalism. written in 3wks. by 2 of the actors,and a true story; A beautiful ode to friendship.

A HEART WARMING FILM SET IN THE BRONX NY. A MUST RENT OR SEE ON HBO IN JUNE OF 1999. A STORY OF THREE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WHO WILL DO ANYTHING FOR EACH OTHER.
