"Framed" tells of the misadventures of an art forger (Goldblum) and his lover/partner (Thomas). A light hearted romantic comedy with little romance and a quirky understated sense of humor, "Framed" makes for a cute but lukewarm watch. Not the kind of film one wants to drive to a theater and pay admission to see, "Framed" will be an enjoyable watch for couch potato fans of the principals who have an appetite for dry, subtle humor.

Gee, I hate to be the only dissenting voice about this film, Framed, an HBO Production from 1990. I love Jeff Goldblum, and Kristin Scott- Thomas is always good.

An art forger, Wiley (Goldblum) in cahoots with his girlfriend Kate (Thomas) is arrested by Interpol a few minutes after she leaves with 5 million francs. He goes to prison for two years. When he is released, he goes to LA and gets a job as a bartender.

Who should he see walking down the street one day but Kate? Believing that she set him up to take a fall, he approaches her. She's on the run from a ruthless man with a very odd name. Ultimately he learns she's engaged to a wealthy mobster (Michael Lerner) and has a plan to steal his Modigliani. She wants Wiley to paint a copy of it so it can be switched, then they will have the original and run off together.

Wiley is then approached by a man from the FBI named Joak who wants to catch Kate and lock her up and elicits Wiley's help. He agrees.

This film was certainly well-acted, and I liked the story, but I was bored. Maybe it was just me. There were some funny bits - the wedding, as was mentioned, is just one. The whole wedding scene, including an accomplice bringing in the cake, was excellent.

Just felt it moved too slowly.

Jeff Goldblum looks terrific as an art forger, and there are a couple chuckles along the way, but the script is too cute for it's own good. Credibility would not get in the way of piling on the preposterous scripting. Michael Lerner as a Jewish Mafia Lord is perhaps the most likable character other than Goldblum. The rest are all pretty much "so whats". What you get is a really dull first half hour, followed by a middle that is confusing with undeveloped characters aplenty, and finally a slapstick ending that is truly unbelievable, and not in a good way. The best bit involves two rented children, but the film never comes together, and is very forgettable. It's a shame because the talent was there but "Framed" fails to impress on many levels. - MERK

Loved this movie. Goldblum, Graff and Scott-Thomas have great chemestry. Also, agent Zoak was very good. I love the subtle humor of Graff. Reminded me of Bobcat Goldwrath.

Came across accidentally wanting to watch more of KST's movies and did not really expect the movie itself to entertain me but it did, put smile into my face in fact. Very naturally well-acted especially KST, who is seldom seen on comedies. They are cute together, perfect partners... in crime.

I saw this film about five years ago on the TV and loved it, then saw it again about a year later and loved it even more, and despite frantic efforts couldn't find a tape to record it on. Couldn't believe no-one I met had seen it or even heard of it, but now I find out it was made for TV and so probably didn't get seen by half as many people as it deserved. A fantastic, hilarious comedy thriller in the style of Foul Play or The Big Lebowski (though far better than the former and nothing like as good as the latter) - a bunch of wacky characters running about madly doing crazy stuff in some kind of convoluted plot involving crime, deception, coincidence and mistaken identity. Not really worth outlining the plot, just go along for the ride and try to figure out who's conning who, who's not telling the whole truth, who's going to come out on top...or alternatively just have a laugh at the general insanity. The wedding scene is one of the funniest I've seen outside of Raising Arizona. Watch out for that man with no toes...

This movie is a funny one. Of course it is, it is a comedy. The jokes were good, but sometimes the story had lacks. The acting was excellent, though. All in all I would recommend this movie to everyone who likes movies that are easy to watch.
