Bayou Caviar

This is a trivial movie that tries to do too many things. The plot is a mish-mash, with a truly unlikely trigger, and some apparently random cutting back and forth in time adds nothing. Richard Dreyfuss, in full disguise as a Russian mobster mit a wery gutteral accent, what a waste!

If you go into it with low expectations, and don't pay to watch it, it's not a terrible way to kill some time.

It's definitely not the worst movie out there but it just drags on and on with almost no purpose. It's like the scenes have just been pasted one after another without any real continuity and the characters are not developped enough for us to relate with any of them. Subsequently, we don't care what will happen to them at all. The plot is also a bit convoluted and the whole thing jut feels amateurish

Apparently every reviewer here has a very low opinion about this movie and I wonder why? I won't say Bayou Caviar is a masterpiece, very far from that, but it entertained me for a couple hours and that's all I was looking for. The cast with Cuba Gooding Jr., Femke Janssen and Richard Dreyffus was already something to look forward to, and they all did their job like they're supposed to so absolutely no complaints from me for that. The story could have been better, even though I thought it wasn't bad at all, maybe a bit too long but that's about it. All in all this movie deserves better than the reviews it gets.

The movie is so horrible that I took the time to create an account so that I could write a review to try and save people from wasting 2 hours of their life. HORRIBLE plot, HORRIBLE flow, HORRIBLE acting

This movie has two Oscar winners but it's really sad to see what bad writing and direction does with talented individuals. The plot is awful and the direction is down right amateur. That said, there were a few interesting things they did for this type of genre. Also the young love interest stole the screen when she was on it which was some nice eye candy.
