Back to Manhattan (2005)
Solid First Comedy
I actually came here to see if there were more Frankie and Paulie films, and wound up posting because of the crazy low rating this film has. "Back To Manhattan" is a fun little indie gem, with two leads I think are hilarious! In fact, I am going to wear out my DVD getting friends to watch and counter the low average here. Rob Riley should take the new reviews to the bank and get us some more Frankie and Paulie films. Can't wait to see what the director has in mind for these guys next!
As far as the huge swing in votes on this film, I think we have a mix of friends and haters posting here. This film is NOT a ten but it sure isn't a three either. I am guessing an honest mix of votes would have to come in at a six because this film is a cut above average. Yes, this looks like a first effort but the director and "Frankie and Paulie" make this a really fun romp. And by the way, who cares if the film was shot digitally? Maybe no one noticed, but Eastman Kodak is selling printers these days and most theaters junked their film projectors years ago. So much for the film angst of 2005! ;)
