Flawless

source: Flawless

this movie was great in my opinion....I love De Niro and Hoffman performances, the plot is very complete and funny also, it is definitely underrated... I think this movie has all the ingredients a good movie has and left me crying at the end, i am happy De Niro ended with the good girl not with the greedy one Hoffman showed lots of aspects of the human side of the drag queens..inside their great outfits and lots of make up , they are human beings too, with feelings. i also cried when his mom died... i was surprised when i read the director of the movie was the same man who did Batman and Robin..way to go man!

Thank you Phillip Hoffman. You brought aspects of Divine back to life. Although I viewed Flawless a few yrs. back, you took my breath away as of course did Robert DeNiro. Am so looking forward to seeing Capote, although who knows if it'll ever reach the Netherlands. I'd love to know about your method acting education as that is/was my true calling. Your transcendent talent speaks to so many. Your intellect as well. I did get to see Ripley in which you easily rose above all other performances. Would love to know if & when Capote will be shown in Amsterdam. Thank you again for the inspiration you give to so many. What role is next for you?

Great actors, great plot, great directing: just great! What else to say? This is in one of my best funny movies list. Watch it and enjoy every min of it.

joel goes too far in using movies to push his agenda. batman, seemingly hundreds of others. I won't state his agenda here, but I was wildly disappointed in this film. For a minute I thought I was watching carol Channing. That being said, again true to Joel, he gets good work out of actors. Hoffman is so over the top I think they needed a spaceship to get him out of the scenes. I would only suggest for the topic and deniro fiends. Makeup!!!

Flawless is a master class of film making, Joel Schumacher surprised me in the fact that he was able to make this poignant, intelligent and moving film without the use of guns and big explosions!!! De Niro is his flawless self and Philip Seymour Hoffman is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors of his generation. A must see film.

Did anybody else notice the similarities between Flawless and As Good As It Gets?...Except, of course, that As Good As It Gets had better acting, more interesting storyline and theme(s), and was a much better film all round.

I felt good about this movie. It's not a masterpiece, but it certainly is a refreshing counter-weight against the brain-killing rubbish Hollywood is trowing at us at the moment, with one crappy Highschool movie after the other. I could almost smell New York in this movie, and the sympathy one develops for both main-characters is real. The plot is quite original. When was the last time that a stroke-sufferer was main character in a movie? De Niro, as usual, is really brilliant in his role, and one would almost say that he enjoyed playing the role. But Hoffman plays equally well and shows that he has real potential. Again, it is not a masterpiece, and it feels a bit like "analyze this". But I've had much worse 90 minutes in my life. It is far above average.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a movie that sets up a simple premise and then explores it...as predictable as the premise may be. Such is the case of "Flawless". An injured homophobic cop who is injured is nursed back to health by a flaming drag queen. Nothing more. Wht is enjoyable about this film is the simple layers it unpeels in exploring this relationship. I found both players giving rewarding performances. It was interesting to see DeNiro play a character so one-sided and Hoffman playing his character with all the stereotyped nuances the role demands. No fully-developed characters but characters who re right on target with their limited character. The film may detour into the predictable but it is enjoyable and the closing credits are a gas!

This film is one of the worst films De Niro has been in. It is a comedy and a action- both genres not nearly fulfilled: - it is not funny and the action is a joke. The ending is predictable from the start... Old grumpy man who hates gays/transsexual's lives near one talks to the fellow and eventually loses his homophobic ways which shows in the last scenes which are over the top and quite ridiculous where he saves him from evil gangsters. OK, slightly more character development etc. but that sort of plot. I seriously urge people not to waste there time on this film- it seriously is awful. If you are watching it because it's a comedy with Robert De Niro see Kings of Comedy instead- Analyze this is better then Flawless for god sake!
