movie a day #260: roger dodger


Quote:


Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Campbell Scott bristles, burns, and sneers as Roger, a would-be smoothie who gets jilted by his older lover (who also happens to be his boss at an advertising agency). When his teenage nephew Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) appears at his office the next day, hoping for lessons in how to deal with the ladies, Roger uses his nephew partly as a foil, partly as a prop as he vents his anger and unhappiness on women in a scathing tour of bars and parties. A sharp script and multidimensional performances make Roger Dodger more than a standard war-of-the-sexes diatribe. Scott (Big Night, The Spanish Prisoner) doesn't ask for sympathy and doesn't allow for pity--his award-winning performance as Roger has defiance and dignity, whether the character is spitting bile or humiliating himself. Featuring strong supporting performances from Eisenberg, Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), Jennifer Beals (In the Soup), and (surprise) Elizabeth Berkley (Showgirls). --Bret Fetzer --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition.
very funny, dark comedy.

yeah, I watched this movie.

I thought it was pretty good. Off the wall, dark and kind of sad. Roger is funny. Some good lines in this movie.

Elizabeth Berkely? As in Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell?

Wow I never knew she did any movies past that one stripper movie she did

I have not heard of this movie, so I cant comment... sorry!

it's a dialogue driven movie, which is hard to do right. but, in my opinion, when they are done right, they're great.

Campbell Scott is a terrific actor, IMO. I really liked this movie, too.
