Shooting Elizabeth

This movie was made in 1992, stars Jeff Goldblum and Mimi Rogers, the script is very witty, almost pushing the brink of dark comedy. This is definitely a dialog heavy comedy with smart written all through it. It moves at a wonderful little pace, it almost feels like watching a live stage play, cinematography is simplistic and perfect giving great focus on the actors and letting their performance shine rather than spif it up with drastic camera angles and dramatic lighting. I find many of the lines wonderfully executed with Goldblum's craft, the kind you feel like quoting with friends later on. Commonly unheard of from people i've polled, but highly recommended.

I've always been a fan of subtle, often unrecognized humor. You have to be alert to catch some of the funny bits in this movie. I.E., some of the comments made by the French burglar. Jeff Goldblum plays the perfect "Woody Allenesque" neurotic. The movie has that low budget Indy vibe that I actually find refreshing. The film that was used was not exactly crisp nor was the lighting the greatest either. When you can get Jeff Goldblum and Mimi Rodgers, not exactly neophytes I might add, to act in this corny comedy; I think this director has a piece of work to be proud of. It's not "Meet the Parents" caliper, although that movie also has a lot of subtleties that could be missed if you've got a lot on your mind at the time you watch it.

I found the film delightfully funny. I fell in love with Goldblum's style and felt that other roles (e.g. the Fly, the horrible Jurassic Park and the farcical Independence day, and one really bad film whose name I don't recall) never quite matched this one for allowing him to showcase his humor. (the fact that he could even give a whisper of that style to the Fly--a movie tragic enough to provide a difficult medium for any humor--is much to his credit as a naturally funny person). I highly recommend it.

I bought this movie in a platinum 10 DVD pack for $9 dollars but i would of payed $15 dollars for this movie on its own.The movie stars off with Jeff Goldblum who is unhappy with his marriage and decides to take his wife on a holiday to where they had there honeymoon and kill her.Jeff Goldblum does a great job acting in this film and if u like him you should watch the fly,jurassic park and independence day.The film has its funny bits and normal bits and it is a must see movie u should rent it or buy it if $15 dollars or less.Over all the movie has a good plot which never gets boring and it is a really enjoyable film my rating is 6 out of 10.

Shooting Elizabeth is a black comedy that unfortunately isn't very funny and not that dark. Goldblum plays the same hypochondriacal character he does in every movie, Mimi Rogers is passable, and the detective is a lame attempt at an Inspector Clouseau. Apart from that, its fine!
