Absolutely the worst movie.

Review: What a total waste of time. The storyline is really bad and the acting is even worse. It would have been watchable if it was slightly funny, but the humour was silly and childish. I was surprised that the cast agreed to do the film after reading the script because it must have looked even worse on paper. With actors like Elliot Gould, Kiefer Sunderland and Sharon Stone, who are veterans in the acting world, I'm sure that they will just put this movie down as a bad day at the office. Terrible!Round-Up: It's not very often that Woody Allen stars in a movie that he hasn't written or directed so I thought that this movie must have been good for him to star in it. How wrong was I! I usually find something good to say about the films that I watch, but I'm really struggling with this film. David Schwimmer, who plays a priest whose in love with a prostitute, acts the same as he does in all of his projects and Kiefer Sutherland plays a cop whose trying to find Woody Allen's wife who has been murdered by Allen. When the body parts fall of the back of his truck, a blind woman finds the hand and she miraculously gets her eye sight back. She then carries the hand back to her village and the hand brings more people miracles. After the word spreads around the world, loads of people come to the village to get cured by this amazing hand, but after a while the whole things spirals out of control. Who ever came up with the idea for this film, really does need to think of another career choice. I recommend this movie to people who are into there silly comedies about a hand that can perform miracles. 1/10

My wife hated it, all the way through watching it and now we can't stop talking about it. A single gesture has come to symbolize a triviality that is no longer viewed as an obscenity but now a talking point when it appears. The scenes of the "miracles" are interesting and provocative with a dark underlying sense of serenity. It all seems to flow from Woody as a redemption of his actions and his attitude on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The photography was intriguing with the moving pans when picking up the pieces and the surreal depictions of the towns people. I hope this movie will become a cult classic. I recommend a group viewing with martinis and steak tartare.

Maria Grazia Cucinotta as the prostitute Desi and David Schwimmer as the priest Leo and their conflicted love story was the best thing in this movie. But unfortunately it's not enough. Woody Allen is boring and unfunny, and both Kiefer Sutherland and Cheech Marin had nothing to work with. The problem with this movie is the script, by Bill Wilson (XI). The persons in the movie doesn't work. He puts one-liners in some scenes where they don't make any sense and therefor makes the persons look silly. Actually the personality of everyone, besides Desi and Leo, are as deep as paper. The best part of the movie is the love story between Maria Grazia Cucinotta and David Schwimmer and it would be great to see a love story just between those two again with a well written script, because they looked great together. and they worked in the script until near the end, where the movie collapsed. But David Schwimmer and Maria Grazia Cucinotta saved this movie.

If not the worst film ever made, it is so bad that it makes one think fondly of the antic creativity of Ed Wood. This movie, a sniggering piece of anti-Catholic bigotry, featuring an all-star cast of people who should have known better, is so shamefully acted that one wonders how hard up the performers were to take their roles. Fran Drescher, abandoning her trademark whine, offers such an embarrassing performance that she should sue the distributors for defamation by allowing the public to discover how long she has defrauded them by passing herself off as a comic actress. Here, she evokes neither laughs nor applause. The rest of the cast merely deserves our censure for the waste of our time and the blot on their own resumes.Shame on all concerned with this ugly, nasty little piece of work.
