Review of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) by Calum B — 04 Apr 2013
I love this film. It was a major breakthrough for movies. The cartoon world meets reality. Bob Hoskins is to die for in this film, he plays such a great American detective and he didn't have much to work with.
After all when he was talking to Roger, he wasn't really talking to anybody since it was a cartoon character. I love the way he develops his role so much, how he goes from this stick-to-the-book and all cartoons are bad to this lovable goofy guy due to Roger's insatiable love for life and cartoons.
It's silly because it's a cartoon, but Roger and Bob clicked so well and are unforgettable.Christopher Lloyd... shudder! This guy gave me so many nightmares as a kid from his character as the judge.
The ending where he reveals his true form, he is just terrifying and effective. Jessica Rabbit is so cool and sexy for a cartoon. She's just too much fun for this movie and is wonderful as a cartoon.
"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way". My favorite scene is without a doubt when Eddie (played by Bob) is looking for Jessica and meets the crazy look-a-like in Toon Town. Just great and hilarious.
Come on, fans! This is a terrific movie and deserves to be on the top 250 films of all time! It's a break through for cinema history and movies in general. It's a great one! I'd highly recommend this for the family and friends or just a Saturday with nothing to do.
