a buzz rather than a high

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2001)

Blow is about George Jung who lived his life opposite from his poor parents. George thinks money will get him happiness and doesnt realize the consequences of selling pot for money. It's money to him and that means everything and success. He succeeds in making tons of sales and after getting busted and free he gets hooked up with coke and lives the high life. The directing by Ted Demme is alittle sloppy and seems lengthy but he holds interest. The narration and other various similarities in the film resemble Goodfellas but eventually the film fails to be a masterpiece of the epic for which it strives. Pros- Johnny Depp's performance Paul Reubens- stole every scene he was in. Was way too brief.
Lola- she is beautiful and was better than Penelope Cruz. Ray Liotta's performance. Soundtrack aside from the cheesy score camera work Cons- Hokey Mrs. Jung- way too over the top. could have worked but chose the ham instead. Penelope Cruz- very hot but seemed to be in a poor performance overall it was ok. Ive seen better and Ive seen worse *** I have a feeling this is one of those movies that you like as time goes by.
