Why can’t I stop watching this?
I usually find Ron Howard’s work a tad self-indulgent – you only have to watch Apollo 13 to know what I mean. However, with this, Ron really delivers a fully watchable film.There are classic comedy moments – the Glenn Close “I light a cigarette…” line is just brilliant – while also providing true pathos with an excellent performance from Marissa Tomei (a disappointingly under-rated actress in anything she is in – witness her performance in Mel Gibson’s otherwise rubbish “Whast Women Want”).
I saw this in the cinema, and own it on DVD – it features in my regular rotation, and it doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, it is still good viewing. A sign of a classic film is how often one can view it without finding scope for criticism – nothing yet!
A 90s Sleeper: intelligent humor, A-list cast, don’t miss it
I loved this movie…a real 90s sleeper. It’s hard to determine why some films don’t get the attention they deserve. The Paper is delightfully acted by an A-list ensemble in their prime. It’s hilariously funny, with great timing and pace, and some poignant overtones on commitment, loyalty, family, friendship, work and the workplace, and big city journalism.Feel-good and sardonic at the same time, I did NOT find it completely predictable. The screenplay is terrific, with thoughtful, intelligent, brisk dialog. Not a dull moment; completely entertaining. A film for “grown-ups”. More kudos to Ron Howard.
Renting it just to watch the superb Glen Close’s character, especially in the “stop the presses” scene, is worth the time/money alone. A charming Marisa Tomei perfectly cast. Robert Duvall, Jason Alexander, Jason Robards, and of course Michael Keaton…what’s not to like? One of those films that can be watched many times by men and women alike. Highly recommended.
