Cookie (1989)

Please don't spend money on this.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I can't believe another user rated this film highly simply because of the closing song? After admitting that everything about the film was bad. Looks like Susan Seidelman made it with costumes she had left over from "Desperately Seeking Susan". The script by cheezmaestra Nora Ephron (You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle) is so bad I can't begin to tell you. I only sat through this because I will watch ANY film starring Peter Falk, but the picture still stinks like if someone had saved that wrapped up package of fish from THE GODFATHER. Good luck making it through this film until the end without turning it off. If you find this on an old VHS tape for fifty cents, don't waste your money.

I just Today Saw This movie on Sunday Matanee. It Was as Previously stated Funny, It had some great humor and was not as boring as The previous review I read said it was.I actually Enjoyed this movie. Please If ya have a chance Watch it and give it a chance it is NOT THAT BAD

The story was just O.K. as an action comedy. Peter Falk did O.K. job as a boss of Mafia but not as good as his famous role, Columbo.What I want to emphasize here is that I found Emily Lloyd, who played the hidden daughter of the boss, is an incredible actress. She is genius! I instantly became a big fan of hers as soon as she came up to the screen. I hope she appears on lots more movies.

Lazy rainy evening, not ready to watch a big masterpiece, rent Cookie. Great actors who are not doing a good job, bad plot and screen writing, but the best part is reserved for Cookie - Emily Lloyd. She is the small diamond in this film. Of course, her character has been worked out pretty well by the writer. Anyway, it's a marvel to see her develop from "almost hooker" to "mob woman." Peter Falk disappears in every scene where she enters.
