Cast & Crew
Director : Robert Benton
Producer : Arlene Donovan, Scott Rudin,
Screenwriter : Robert Benton
Starring : Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Dylan Walsh, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Gene Saks, Josef Sommer, Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Paul Newman is back as the title character of Nobody's Fool. Nobody's Fool is a study of small-town life in upstate New York, focused on Newman as the go-between among a dozen or so townsfolk. Superb performances abound, particularly by Jessica Tandy (in her final role) and Bruce Willis, and even Melanie Griffith as Newman's would-be love interest performs with genuine emotion. Newman steals the show, of course, as the flawed Everyman who chooses to just let life happen and not make a big show of it.
Nobody's Fool is about as good a picture as can be expected to come out of Hollywood these days. It ties up a little too nicely, and tells a pleasant little story without going to the bother of trying to make much of a point. It's satisfying, but if you see the film, don't expect to have too much to say about it. I don't.
