MASTERPIECE

Definitely a great and very entertaining movie, also a great start into Cassavetes work in my opinion, being more accessible than his other movies. But Cassavetes did better films, check out FACES and HUSBANDS for example, these are real masterpieces!

Dear crmoyd,

Nice to hear that you've enjoyed it. It's probably the most accessible one together with GLORIA so it was a good choice to start. Please have a look at FACES and A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE if you're intrested in watching more of his work. After that, HUSBANDS and OPENING NIGHT are also great but even more difficult to get into, so I suggest to watch some others before getting to these ones.

Anyway, I hope you'll become a Cassavetes-fan too, truly one of the most underapppreciated American directors!

Cheers from Switzerland
David

I have to be honest. Films like this make me cringe. Sure, the acting is superb. Gena has always been one of my favorites. However, this couple would never make it in the real world. I'm tired of fantastic women being coupled with weird men. Even Seymour's mother who is screwed up knows this match is doomed.

Agree, I just saw the last ten minutes of this movie on TV, I knew this one is absolutely a masterpiece.

Me too! Normally I avoid romantic comedies like the plague, but "M and M" for me is a 5-dimensional hit; okay, the couple seem an unlikely match, and the continuity is a bit odd, but what a story! At times I thought I was watching real life.
