Sadly Over-hyped

Captivating movie !

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

In Queens, a group of friends prepares a bachelor party for their childhood friends Ray (Ken Olin) and Patricia (Chloe Webb); however Ray has cold feet and is insecure whether there will be wedding. During the party, there are discoveries for most of them. Al (Joe Mantegna), who is married with Carla (Linda Fiorentino) with two daughters, is a womanizer and meets the wealthy Grace (Jamie Lee Curtis) that teaches him a lesson. The musician Dennis (Kevin Bacon), who seems to be proud of living in Hollywood, confesses that he misses the Queens. The gay Eliot (John Malkovich) gets rid of Jeremy (Terry Kinney) and stays with his friend Marty (Michael Zelniker). Ray meets the gorgeous Asha (Jenny Wright) and finds what he wants. In 2016, "Queens Logic" is a nostalgic film about male bonding, friendship and love. The story is simple but entertaining and it is so good to see again Jenny Wright, Linda Fiorentino, Jamie Lee Curtis and other actors and actresses young and all together. My vote is seven.Title (Brail): "Entre Amigos" ("Among Friends")

It is a shame that I could not give this movie a much higher rating. The acting was great. Kevin Bacon played Dennis, a struggling actor in L.A. who returned home for his friend Ray's (Ken Olin)wedding. Bacon does a terrific job playing someone who is superficially cheerful, hiding his insecurities and loneliness. The other actors and actresses were also very good. Joe Mantegna plays Al, an extroverted person, who isn't afraid to be himself. John Malkhovich also does his usual good job, playing Eliot, a man trapped in the machoistic World of Queens, yet struggling with his homosexuality. Perhaps the best scene is when Eliot tells a "pesky" homosexual to "bug off", because he just doesn't like him. This movie could have been a lot more, but it tried to do too much, didn't explain to the viewer what was going on, and became predictable by the ending. First of all, we never understand why exactly Al's wife, played by Linda Fiorentino, leaves him so suddenly and violently. All we know is that she is mad at him. We similarly understand that Ray is having second thoughts about getting married. We understand that Eliot is kind of an angry character. We never really find out why. Eliot befriends a homosexual pianist. We never really find out much about the pianist, except that he is rather mild mannered. There are also things that just don't help the plot much. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a character who is never really developed well, and in the end we have no idea why she behaved the way she did (and how this changed Al's life). Another scene that doesn't work is the swimming pool scene. Al's wife steals Al and all four or five of his buddies clothing, yet somehow he has spare clothing for all of them in his car. This movie could have been a good movie. Instead, it was confusing and not very well written.

Another boring early 90s movie about desperate, unattractive males and the desperately conventional women who coo and giggle at them. What is comedic about this? Why is it considered entertaining to watch uninteresting, perpetual losers? Self-conscious "homosexual" subplot is supposed to make it new and different. Fails.Merits: Tom Waits, and a decent soundtrack. And perhaps a third: the Artisan DVD indicates Queens Logic was filmed in 1:33. That means no dizzying pan and scan.It's movies like this that turned me towards the classics. Not even the presence of John Malkovich or Jamie Lee Curtis can redeem this criminal misuse of celluloid. 3/10. Get rid of it.

this movie is absolutely terrible. the script is horribly written, the plot is so weak it caves in on itself, and even the acting doesn't save it. you'd think with a handful of good actors that it would at least be enjoyable. well, it's not. i found myself watching it in fast forward towards the end, because the it just would not end. all of the characters, except maybe malkovich, were unlikable and annoying. you know something is wrong when you get done watching a movie, and you find yourself saying, "oh that malkovich guy did a really good job." this movie tries desperately to be "the big chill", so if you're in the mood for that sort of thing, then rent the big chill, even if you've already seen it a thousand times. 2/10
