VHS Movie Reviews of River Rat
Movie Review: Come ON! Where is the DVD?!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, release this on widescreen dvd NOW, PLEASE. I thought it would be so nice to see this little Tommy Lee Jones flick I so loved as a kid, let's go rent the dvd...No DVD. What a shame. For this is a well-made, quiet little father-daughter movie set on the Mississipp. Tommy Lee is fresh out of jail for a crime he may or may not have committed as a kid. He's quiet, he's depressed, he's withdrawn. He's beaten down. Martha Plimpton is his spunky little girl he never knew. She is being raised by her good-as-gold grandma because her trashy mom is a no good deadbeat living in Memphis. Martha is so in love with Tommy Lee. What little girl wouldn't be! Slowly but surely she brings him out of his shell and makes him want to live again. Wonderful scenes between Tommy Lee and Martha (who should have been as big as Lindsay Lohan). Brian Dennehy, as always, is 100% reliable: a fun fab bad guy. This little movie is pure Tommy Lee Jones, America's finest actor at his very best. So WHERE OH WHERE is the DVD?! GEEZ and JEEPERS and JIMINY CRICKETS! Well, I sure don't want another old videotape viewing so I guess I'm going to have to hunt down the old laserdisc because that is the best way to view this little gem until it hits dvd. But if I remember correctly, even the LD wasn't in widescreen. Argh. If you want this on widescreen dvd, say you found this review "helpful."
