Everyone knows that they need someone, and this is a film that attempts to chronicle the process of finding someone for several twenty-somethings in Seattle during the nineties.
Janet (Bridget Fonda) just wants someone to say gesundheit when she sneezes, but on-and-off-again boyfriend Cliff (Matt Dillon) is more concerned about his band than Janet (Cliff also serves as something of a narrator).
Like Dennis the Menace, this movie won’t win many awards – but it is a pretty decent family flick. The only problem it has in that regard, in fact, is one scatalogical expletive (a fairly funny one, but still).
Beyond that, the plot is simple. Jason Alexander is the manager of a five-star hotel in New York, and his two kids live there with him. They are naturally hard at work trying to make his life miserable and he is hard at work trying to keep the hotel up-to-snuff for its high-falutin’ guests.
Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.
As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
