Review of Rare Birds (2001) by Jay F — 17 Jan 2005

[color=black][font=Tahoma][font=Arial]Looking for a quirky, offbeat flick, check out Rare Birds. It is full of interesting characters, and a few unexpected subplots (maybe too many, but it worked for me). I enjoyed William Hurt?s subtle comedic delivery, especially as it plays off actor, Andy Jones? more gregarious character, Phones Murphy (?Always have a plan B Dave?). Phones is like the friend that can take any bad situation and turn it around into something positive or at least into a less serious problem. ;)[/font][/font][/color].

[color=black][font=Tahoma][font=Arial][size=2]The pace of this film is unhurried, but I appreciated the slow unfolding of the story, although it ends a bit abruptly, as it tries to bring all the subplots to together. [/size][/font][/font][/color].
