I have just bought this film!


I have just bought this film as I am a major fan of Bill Pullman and I want to know what others think of it! This is because I refuse to read reviews, so please just give a mark out of ten (0 being awful and 10 being brilliant) and a few comments! Nothing rude now! Thank you!

I never liked Bill Pullman. I am more of a Bill Paxton fan.

However, I really liked him in ZERO EFFECT.

Great movie. I like it as a cult movie.

Pullman is cool. No matter what they might say about him.

I'll second the 9/10, but I might be shaving a point to avoid looking like a cheerleader.

One of the great unknown films. 8/10

This is one of my favorite films and as I watch it again and again, over the years, I enjoy it all over every time. I think Pullman is great, Stiller too, and Dickens terrific; the writing and directing are first class. (Anyone who thinks Bill Murray would have been better in the Zero role is crazy!) My thanks to Siskel & Ebert for recommending this film when it came out. I give it 10/10.

All the great crimes are committed by intellectuals.

This film has grown on me over time.
The first two times I saw it I thought it was a bit long. Years later I really appreciate the film a lot more and picked up on a lot more nuances. Much more clever and fun than most of the Hollywood drivel. Pullman and Stiller play well off each other. Dickens is really good too.

8/10

I ask a lot of a movie to get a 10.

This was something I had never seen before. Completely original. Funny, interesting, engaging original characters.

Plus, I fell in love with Kim Dickens in this.

10 from me. Love it.
