The Girl Gets Moe (1997) User Reviews

A SUPRIZINGLY GOOD MADE FOR TV PROJECT

[Chad-11 · 12 April 1999]

I saw "The Girl Gets Moe" on HBO and normally I see the world premieres to laugh at how lame they are but this one I enjoyed. It was an action packed witty comedy that could have scored on the art circut if it was given a chance. It was a reminder of the horrable "The Big Hit" and had some essence of the Austrian road movie "Kiss or Kill." The movie was refreshing and bright, it would have been an awesome alternative film if given a release, it is a bigger atrocity then the Polygram scandal over "The Gingerbread Man." Rent it on video it's under a diffrent title and with any luck it isn't cut or edited in any form! It was the best "world premire" on HBO, and a movie that killed other low bugget action movies with actors that should be sent away from Hollywood but look good.

Let me get my time back!!!

We all know that, it being a TV movie, there will always be something lacking from it. However, the Girl Gets Moe is inexcusable. The story itself lacks in virtually every aspect I can possibly remember, including fight scenes which are done only for the sake of waking the viewer up, and some of the cheesiest dialogue I've ever heard. In particular, the one where the man is stuffing a body into a trunk stays in my head. "Always buy American. They've got the biggest trunk space." How much did GM pay them to include THAT line in the movie? How can anyone possibly expect the star of "Who's the Boss?" to make a convincing mobster? How could anyone possibly care as to the outcome of this movie after seeing the first five seconds of it? Stay away from this movie!

Amazing movie

This was an amazing movie. Tony Danza's passion and sensitivity for love really come out in this movie. As always, he's an amazing actor. I own both copies - The Girl gets Moe and Love to Kill. Tony Danza plays a bad guy who tries to turn his life around for a woman he falls for. Then something goes wrong and he has to try to cover it up in fear that the woman won't understand. She finds out and she tries to take matters into her own hands while he (Tony Danza or Moe as his character is called) tries to convince her it was really an accident and he loves her. An amazing love/action film. A must see movie. Tony Danza is an amazing actor in this movie as in all his movies/sitcoms.

Funny, hip and classy!

Love To Kill combines all the great elements of Elmore Leonard's crime masterpieces and the screwball comedy of early Hollywood. Top performances from Madsen and Russo make this thriller hard to pass up. And surprisingly Mr Who's The Boss Tony Danza shines in the lead role. Perfect casting.
