Review of Two Bits (1995) by Frances H — 28 May 2013
Where to begin. OK first off this film sucks. there is so much wrong with this movie its unbelievable. Pacino is one of Hollywoods greatest wonders in the field of acting. I just wish he could have brought some of that into this film.
The film is about this little kid Gennaro (an overbearing Jerry Barone), during the years in the great depression. This kid dreams of going to the new movie theatre that had just opened in his town of South Philadelphia.
He deals with his depressed mother, An annoying Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and his dying grandfather. The kid is a little brat who needs two bits to see a movie as much as he needs a ass-whipping. Always asking his grandfather when he is going to die and asking his mother why they never have any money, and when grandpa is going to keel over so he can get the rest of his money.
Watching this film I got more and more pissed. Often make reasons for not switching the film off. I still don't know why the hell I didn't turn it off. Please spare yourself from the agony and don't see this film.
