Welcome to a magical world where Jeremy Piven was genuinely funny, Dan Aykroyd made a strong comeback, Minnie Driver was the most likable woman to ever speak without a British accent, and John Cusack carried a gun and wasn't in a children's movie or a big budget visual atrocity.

There's a lot to enjoy about this, and it comes across as surprisingly feelgood despite some pretty dark elements. Cusack is at his best here, and the supporting cast are useful foils. Good soundtrack too. Some of it definitely stretches credibility, but it's fun enough to get away with it.

One of those paradox comedies: too stupid to be funny and, simultaneously, not stupid enough to be funny. The soundtrack is good though, and John Cusack does a decent job, hence it gets a few points.

There are no gutbusting laughs here, no complex plot. It's basically a story of a high school reunion and going home. It manages to be charming despite some fairly dark subject matter and all in all was very entertaining.

Ultimate deadpan Gen Xer comedy. Soulless yuppie comes back home for high school reunion. He also happens to kill people for money. His classmates keep asking him what he does for a living, and when he tells them they think he's joking. His name is "Blanc", his mother has Alzheimer's and his house is a Quickiemart. In other words, he's nowhere. Cusack and Driver have great chemistry and make a believable couple.

On paper, this story sounds hilarious, but GBP ends up carefully treading a line just below where it should be. Not quite dark enough nor funny enough nor romantic enough to be considered a "dark romantic comedy", it falls into a nameless genre of its own. I got no laughs out of it, I thought the romance was very superficial, and the film seemed to grind to a halt at the reunion. At least John Cusack was pretty charismatic.

Another Cusack Classic that makes me wish he co-wrote his own scripts more often, because they really tailor to his unique vocal patterns when he does. It's not as good as High Fidelity (not much is), but this story of a hitman going through an existential crisis is a terrific dark comedy -- Aykroyd and Arkin are hilarious, as is Piven. Great concept, great characters, great soundtrack, great everything. A quirky little rom-com that I just plain loved.

rewatched. That reunion was intense even before Urquidez showed up. All the men seemed so unhappy. Maybe reunions are like that. And I admit big hair has never been my thing but GPB Minnie Driver might be top 5. Nowhere near Salma in Desperado but still...

I can suspend my disbelief for a lot of things, but not that a radio station that cool would exist in this small of a town. I am guessing that Alan Arkin filmed his scenes over an afternoon. After lunch, but still early enough not to miss dinner. I used to think Spawn had the best soundtrack of the 90s, but revisiting this, it's still Spawn.

Well-cast (with one exception) dark comedy falters in its execution because its unclear how seriously we are meant to take this - Cusack is never credible as a genuine hit-man, though the film takes his status as one seriously, and the logic in the motivations of its supporting characters don't make much sense (there's great potential in a film with Cusack as a blithering mess of a hit-man surviving on luck). A good soundtrack, and a nice part for Driver, are really the only selling points here.

I did not like that they showed killing as something funny and casual. Also the main character was not believable as a killer. The plot was very predictable. My feeling after I saw this movie was that it was something very stupid and slightly entertaining.

It's a bit of an off-beat dark comedy. What would happen if a professional assassin came back for his ten year high school reunion? What if said assassin was having second thoughts about his career? These are the questions explored here. It's not an amazing plot, but is amusing and entertaining if you happen to like dark comedy that is.

Slick, witty and inventive, Grosse Pointe Blank is one of those films that has held up through countless rewatches, and given enough time in between, still charms and thrills just as much as it did on release. The chemistry of the leads is particularly memorable, and I'm still not sure Cusack has ever equalled this role, but the standout element is the honesty of emotion packed into a pulpy crime flick. A quirky nostalgia trip for 80s and 90s high school kids alike.

Falls a little too much into the neighborhood of generic romantic comedy. Doesn't really do much to distinguish itself from the crowd in that department. John Cusack's character seems more like a walking sitcom premise than an actual assassin. Dan Aykroyd's presence is pretty much always underwhelming, but at least Joan Cusack's scenes are funny.

Yet another 'off-beat' indie that plays it safe in too many areas to make the most out of any potential. Not terrible but just terribly flat: plot, humour, romance, drama all coming up well below standard, and not half as quirky as it thinks it is. The 'funny' final shootout is anything but, and just feels tacked-on in order to end it all and justify the assassin subject matter. One of those where you can read the cast list and plot outline and pretty much visualise the entire thing.

It's not bust-a-gut hilarious, but the writing must be terribly brilliant because we accept Cusack's assassin character as not only human, but we root for his retribution and escape from his murderous ways. The acting here is great if a little bit odd for an already out-of-place film, but I think that's more the plot being so wacky. When all is said and done, "GPB" is a comedic blast with some blood and violence mixed in, a lot of quirky antics and a strong performance from John Cusack.

Assassins have bad days at work too. Grosse Pointe Blank portrays the human face of the killing business - whether its pressure to join the union or competition from the new kid on the block to avoiding giving a full description of your embarrassing vocation at your high-school reunion. As Cussack comes to terms with his mid-life crisis and tries to work out whether or not dispatching people for money "is really me", Acroyd dances around him seeking to recruit his full cooperation or drive him

"Grosse Pointe Blank" is a crime actioner/rom-com hybrid that doesn't really bring anything new to the table in either department and yet ticks enough boxes to deliver in both. The humour is rarely laugh-out-loud funny and the crammed soundtrack is intrusive, however the movie remains pleasant throughout, with leads John Cusack and Minnie Driver bringing the charm aided by a well-chosen supporting cast that features the always delightful Alan Arkin and Joan Cusack, and an enjoyable Dan Aykroyd.

I don't know what it is about this movie, but it didn't just keep me invested. I've seen a lot of praise for this movie and it's got a great cast and an awesome soundtrack. So many good tracks riddled in there, but... it just didn't grab me. Maybe I just needed more hitman stuff and less cheesy romance? A little bit darker, it would have been funnier (to me).

Am I high or why is everyone rating this like it's hangover pizza? It's a loosely stringed array of scenes from fifteen different movie genres. It's a romance, thriller, dramedy, conspiracy spy parody, mental health drama, action, buddy comedy, farce, reunion movie and it ends up being an unrecognisable amalgam of everything and nothing. Tonal shifts are as jarring as disco strobes on LSD. Not charming, thrilling, intriguing or funny.

The screenplay for this is ridiculously good. It's believable when it needs to be, and believably unbelievable when it doesn't. The premise really shouldn't work, but somehow they pull off both the Crime and Rom-Com/reunion elements seamlessly. The tone is especially on point. Its serious enough, without taking things too seriously. Even the casting is great, with everyone putting in just the right performance. Oh, and I absolutely love the 80's meets 90's vibe. The music choices are all great.

Smart script, but for some reason doesn't realize its full potential. I think it's because it cannot choose whether it's a rom com with a hint of suspense or vice versa, and what we end up with is a confused rhythm and tone. Still, not unfun.

I never actually sat down and watched this movie until now, almost 20 years later. It's a fun movie with a lot of little understated funny moments. Silly plot, but it works well enough and the acting was great all around. It's got that unrealistic but cool fast-talking 90s style of dialog writing that I didn't realize had gone away until I saw this. The soundtrack was so good I just ordered a copy. At the end of the day, it was an enjoyable little time capsule for me.

On a technical level the comedy is a little Marx-Brothers-ish, sadly not to the same effect, though. Which is kind of symptomatic for the whole movie. Cool ideas/the right ingredients, mostly boring result. Or you could just say the movie isn't that funny. Or...good. Seems like it's trying very hard to be an incoherent 80s movie. :D

Strikes a balance between the hitman plot and the romantic/nostalgic elements well, with a very well-picked soundtrack and a good cast - Dan Aykroyd as the big villian works very well. The comic setpieces are good, and the film, while shot relatively conservatively, impresses with a realistic, down-to-earth depiction of the setting, with a few stylistic flashes to keep it interesting. Unfortunately paced a little oddly - the first act takes a long time to get going and the back end suffers.

A delightfully quirky and dark comedy, full of both murder and romance. Elements get a little extreme at times, a la The Blues Brothers, but it's hardly unexpected in a comedy caper about a professional assassin. The film manages to keep quite a light tone, despite the subject matter, and the interactions between characters don't fail to amuse, in particular the blase attitude most have towards Blank's particular career choice.

In my view this is a film with nothing going for it at all (except perhas the music). John Cusack is John Cusack (again) and Dan Ackroyd is an annoying knob. However, what confused me most of all was whether or not this was supposed to be a comedy. After all, why make a comedy that has no humour whatsoever?

G.P.B. is an entertaining flick that I must admit, shocked me. I had never sat down and watched it because I'm not a fan of John Cusack. I found him to be enjoyable and subdued which was fitting for the role of the burned out assassin. Dan Akroyd provided a likeable badguy which I always love. Alan Arkin was awesome and Jeremy Piven was Jeremy Piven! The movie initially starts slow but really picks up when he returns home. G.P.B. also has one of the best soundtracks I have heard in years!

Well performed, involving crime comedy. One or two really great scenes and Cusack is excellent. Enjoyed Aykroyd too.

A multi-genre mashup that works. All the pleasures of a school reunion movie combined with a quirky romance and an even quirkier crime plot, and somehow it all makes sense and even feels more intelligent than many of the things it riffs on.

It actually has bits of violence, but it all gets in the background to Cusack chasing Driver, the love of his life, when coming back to his High School Reunion while on the job as a hitman. His sister Joan isn't her usual nauseating self either, thank god.

Just re-watched this. What a clever film. Great soundtrack too. Dan Aykroyd steals the show. He needs more roles like this.

I think the romance aspect of this film is one of the most interesting relationships brought to the screen in the modern comedic era. Minnie Driver's character is very rich, as shown in the radio scenes, but unfortunately this was never fully explored. The killers aspect juxtaposes nicely with the reunion plot, but the action falls a little flat. Overall the film had neat dialogue, and I seem to appreciate the soundtrack more with time. However the film still felt a little short and lightweight.

Fun stuff but the romance aspect is [as usual] tacked-on.

John Cusack has played the same character since 1947.
