Comments and Reviews


Magic Marmalade 12th Nov 2020		Rated 8/10 Not sure how this stands up to political correctness these days... ...It was a bit edgy and controversial way back when it first came out, and there's the odd moment Woody Harrelson may now have cause to regret, but that said it is kind of the point of the movie, saying things that people ought not to say, both explicitly and by implication, in an unflinching, naturalistic way. It came out of the same time frame as Boyz 'N' The Hood, And Spike Lee's films like Do The Right Thing etc., and has that kind of feel and sensibility. But while I would venture to suggest that perhaps those others have begun to show their age a little, this still feels fresh, due to the razor sharp humour, lean and kinetic plot, and an absolute refusal to apologise for itself, in what it is.... it just goes with it. It centres on two basketball court hustlers with problems in their lives who team up to hustle everyone else... and each other, and the film just explores their relationship as they do so. Very funny in places, and generally good fun throughout. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
