question:
Nothing Indecent about this dull movie. Tame and uninspired . Indecent Proposal's intriguing premise starts off with a provocative question: "What would you do if I offered you a million dollars to spend the night with your wife?" In its attempt to explore sexuality, morals and ethics in America, the movie's writers, producers, and director are too afraid of the controversial subject matter to provide a clear answer to the question it asks the audience. Instead of being thought provoking film, the movie deteriorates into another predictable by the numbers forgettable commercial Hollywood drama. If the studios gave me million dollars I could make a better film than this.   Indecent Proposal follows a struggling California married couple drowning$50,000 in debt. Out of work and desperate for cash, they go on a trip to Vegas. Browsing in a hotel store, Diana runs into a Billionaire John Gage who has eyes on her. He offers to buy her a $5000 dress she has eyes on. Diana says she can't be bought. Gage sees a challenge. Shawn sees a predictable plot twist.  Thinking nothing of her encounter she returns to the gambling tables with her husband. After winning $25,000, Halfway towards their goal, the couple heads back to their room planning to gamble more unaware of how Hollywood casinos operate. Predictably they lose all their winnings. Both run into Gage who asks Diana to go to his table for luck. Gage plays a high stakes game betting a million dollars on a crap table. After winning his high stakes bet, Gage asks the couple to join him in his suite. There he proposes his indecent proposal: A night with the wife in exchange for a million dollars. The cash-strapped couple declines, but ponders taking him up on his offer on the way back to the hotel room. Set your watch for what happens next.  Soon after the proposal the movie falls apart. Gage buys her the expensive dress sweetens the pot. Upon getting the dress the couple decides takes up Gage on his offer. With his wife on the way, Woody hangs out with a lawyer buddy. Soon after talking to him, Harrelson's character gets second thoughts. He races for the roof to cancel the deal but is too late to stop the helicopter. How predictable.  On the boat we watch Diana getting ready. She and Gage meet up and have dinner and drinks. We don't know if they have relations; the movie leaves that as a mystery. Diana and her husband return to California to pay their debts. They soon find out John Gage has bought out their mortgage. Things start to get ridiculous from here. The manipulative Gage only bought the house as part of a tactic to possess Diana. He goes to her real estate job and tries to court her. I guess one night of her good stuff wasn't good enough for her. Harrelson's character starts to become insecure, wanting graphic details of the encounter. His jealousies cause him to act irrational and angry like every other movie husband. Feeling stressed out, Diana leaves her husband for the super rich Gage. Yawn.  Losing his woman, Harrelson takes a teaching job and starts working on his future. Getting the divorce papers, he goes to an auction for animals. There he spends the one million dollars on a hippo to prove how much he loves her. He signs the divorce papers and she goes off with her billionaire man. He gets a change of heart when he realizes she still loves him. Yawn.  Later in the car, Gage and his driver talk about how they've played this game over a dozen times. Diana requests he stop the car. They break up and she gets on a bus. Later she meets her ex-husband at the pier he proposed to her at and the movie comes to a clunky unsatisfying close.  The performances are terrible. The entire cast is uninspired; no one in this film makes an effort to bring any type of depth to their characters. Woody Harrelson is horribly miscast. I don't believe him as an architecture expert. Demi Moore is wooden in the role of Diana. She brings no dimension to the character at all. I feel no tension or stress from her even though she's playing a woman conflicted by tremendous emotional and moral pressures. Robert Redford is charming and handsome, as John Gage but the character seems like a one-dimensional caricature instead of a human being. Look for Billy Bob Thornton in a small role as a tourist.  Indecent Proposal isn't indecent it's just bland. It doesn't take any of the risks in its exploration of its taboo subject matter. Aside from some lukewarm sex scenes early on between the married couple, the movie is just another by the numbers Hollywood drama pretending to be a thought provoking film. The provocative ideas about sexual morals and ethics advertised in its premise are just a selling point to trick customers into spending money on it. Don't let this movie con you out of your hard earned cash. Instead of accepting this mediocre proposal on the video rack, I suggest you pick up Summer of '42, When Harry Met Sally or Love Story.

question:
Piracy . When I received this DVD, I played it on my iMac. When doing this, I discovered that there were Chinese characters showing at the top of the screen. The quality of the DVD images were dark and grainy. I reported to Amazon that they had unknowlngly sold me a pirated DVD, and I was saddened to not have a response from Amazon other than refunding my costs. Copyright is not only a law to protect publishers; it also protects consumers from getting poor quality products. I feel that I can no longer depend on Amazon to provide my DVD orders.
answer:
NEG


question:
"Be Nice.. Until It's Time To Not Be Nice."  ("Road House:"  Special Edition) . It's been said before (and over and over in all the reviews here, so I won't bore you with the details why it's been said) but I'll say it again:  "Roadhouse" is a great bad movie!  I do find it funny that this one has earned that type of fond recollection by so many and turned into a cult hit of sorts because of it; while there are literally tons of these type of movies that littered the action/adventure landscape throughout the 80s and early 90s.  Hardly any of them are even remembered much less revered to the extent "Roadhouse" is.  I guess it's just one of those things.  Maybe its because the movie has (at the time) bigger stars, a bigger budget and a larger abundance of gratuitous T&A than most theatrically released action flicks that bare a general resemblance to it (of course, you could find plenty of this type of thing lining the walls of your local Blockbuster, but even though they supply the action and nudity, they don't often supply the big stars and big budgets).  Maybe it was just a matter of right place, right time, right amount of exposure, etc.    Who knows; but whatever the reason, I'm glad enough this film has endured.      This special edition does its legacy as a winking-joke-unto-itself proud (Swayze's character is known as "the best bouncer in the business."  Where was the annual bouncer convention of  '89 held and how is the winner of that title determined?).  The best reason to pick this up instead of the previous, bare-bones DVD transfer is the commentary tracks.  The first is by the film's director, Rowdy Herrington, which is actually rather informative considering the source material being examined.  But the real treat is the other commentary track by director and professional fanboy Kevin Smith and his production partner Scott Mossier.  Not only is it a great commentary, but the very idea that the producers of this DVD saw it appropriate to include a commentary from someone who has nothing to do with making this movie shows that all involved are in on the joke.  They should have just gone the full nine and held contest to find the ultimate, die hard "Roadhouse" fan and let him/her do the commentary.  And I'd be willing to bet, somewhere, Quentin Tarrentino is pissed he didn't get a call (he loves contributing his two cents to cult films that he has nothing to do with other than being  either a huge fan or hating the movie's guts - either way, always an entertaining commentator).      Now if only studio execs would get off their butts and release perhaps the only junk-action movie more loved and clamored for than this one:  "Stone Cold."  (It feels like that is the only movie ever made that has not made it to DVD, yet everyone seems to want it to be released, so what gives?!  Since when aren't studios egger to cash in???)  Give us a "Stone Cold" special edition and slap it in a two-pack with this classic and you'll have all the craptacular entertainment this side of the old school Steven Seagal flicks you'll ever need.
