REVIEW OF GREETINGS Greetings was the debut Robert De Niro film so it will be hunted down by De Niro fanatics like myself. Greetings was also a De Palma film so that's another mob that will be hunting this film. But in all fairness, do hunt it, do watch it but don't pay over $5 bucks cause it ain't worth it. It's not the worst film that De Niro's done, Sam's Story takes that cake, but it's nowhere near the best.
While I did fine certain bits funny, The JFK conspiracy side to it was great. And some of the political sides to it were also intriguing but it was let down with really bad scenes. Random nudity while arousing has no point, most of the time it is quite boring to the point of being annoying and the end, where he makes Vietcong lady strip might have set out to be ironic, but ultimately is disturbing and stupid at the same time.
So do watch it if you want, it's up to you but trust me, don't let the De Palma+ De Niro equation make you salivate because you'll be disappointed.
