Was this review helpful? Sign In 2 out of 4 users found this helpful I don't know which was worse this weekend, Tom Sizemore taking on a stupid role in Paparazzi or Tom Sizemore in Hustle. Paparazzi was truly a stinker and should have gone out to video in its first hour. Was this review helpful? Sign In 2 out of 3 users found this helpful What a hideous movie. It was like an updated version of those old Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson "vigilante justice" films like "Death Wish" or "Dirty Harry", only worse. If the paparazzi in the movie had been conflicted about their scuzzy livelihood, or even indifferent, it might have been interesting and gripping. But they're just the usual gang of sleazeball nasties with stubble and bad hygiene, so we can cheer without guilt as the marble-faced hero eliminates them one by one. This movie has a parade of the most pointless, witless celebrity cameos ever, as well as cheap jabs at the emotions like an adorable little boy who is put in a coma by the camera-toting creeps. It also asks us to believe that an attractive woman would actually trade sentences with Tom Sizemore (who doesn't look like he's too regular with things like bathing). Was this review helpful?

When “Paparazzi” comes out on video, which should be happening right...about...now, you can find it filed under the “No, duh” category.<br><br>The photographers of the film’s title slink and slither through Los Angeles, stalking their celebrity prey with single-minded sleaziness. The stars they follow feel justifiably violated and sometimes fight back. Tabloids pay a lot of money for these pictures — the more intrusive the better. Average people perpetuate the cycle by spending money on such trashy publications.<br><br>And that’s it. No new insights into the nature of fame, the nuances of privacy or the need for this kind of “journalism.”<br><br>Alec Baldwin (Daniel's Dad)— who clashed with a photographer in 1995 when he and his then-wife, Kim Basinger, were returning home from the hospital with their infant daughter — is mentioned in the movie, and his brother, Daniel, plays one of the lowest of the low-life shooters.<br><br>And the movie’s mad band of photographers praise George Clooney — who has famously crusaded against the paparazzi and tried to change the laws that protect their work — as “a real gold mine.”<br><br>It’s all very knowing, but as a viewer it’s hard to care.<br><br>“Paparazzi” wasn’t screened for critics before opening day, which is never a good sign, but it’s sort of a wonder that the movie is appearing in theaters at all. Its low-budget aesthetic and stiff performances seem better suited to the kind of direct-to-cable fare you might watch with detached interest while flipping channels in the middle of the night.

Was this review helpful? Sign In 8 out of 13 users found this helpful Posted: 8/27/2004A review of Paparazzi by NSUPickles In a time when original plots are few, Hollywood actors turn to the enemy. This could be a great movie, or a stinker, you can only tell so much from a trailer. Also, you would think that bigger actors would line up to beat up on some photographers. Finally, does anyone else think that Mel Gibson has lost his mind? Was this review helpful?
