This movie was so bad it was funny
From the bad acting by Travolta and the kid all the way up to the end when the mom conviently loses the baby. The Step-dad was pretty funny though.
2/10
This film isn't bad at all. It's not a masterpiece, but it shouldn't be underrated like this. I think it's a fair film, and Travolta is pretty good in it. 7/10
shareUm, did we watch the same movie?
share7/10 is pretty high. 7 doesn't mean 5, which is middle-of-the-road. I'm sick of people who watch "fair" movies and give them high ratings like 7.
Return of the King was 9.
Gladiator was 8.
this isn't almost as good as Gladiator.

Best part was when SPOILERS SPOILERS! the guy pours gasoline all over himself and then trys to use the lighter. I almost pissed myself laughing when he did that. Some criminal mastermind...
shareThe acting was decent, but just decent...except for that retarded Teri woman. She was even annoying in Meet The Parents, which I love.
I watched this today on Showtime and they had this behind the scenes thing afterwards and she is just freaking looney...she kept banging on about how she likes to do her own stunts. Forgive me if I'm wrong but throwing yourself on the ground is not much of a "stunt".
This film wasn't *terrible* but it was so plain and predictable...it may as well have been a Lifetime movie.
Why do they waste so much money making movies that have already been made a thousand times before?

lmao...Domestic Disturbance is by no means a good movie, but it's very funny.

His name...was Julio Iglesias!
I thought that was pretty funny too.
This movie isn't that bad. I pretty much only bought it because i am obsessed with Vince Vaughn so if you watch it with an attitude that Vince Vaughn is Godly, then it's completely different then if you watch it expecting John Travolta to be amazing. I thought Vince was awesome in this film, probably the best part. His character is pretty sweet until the whole baseball incident, although this is coming from someone who's favorite movie is Dodgeball. The script was really predictable, but all-in-all not horrible. I think a lot less people would have liked the movie, or even understood it if it wasn't so predictable. Like, in the end Rick got away with everything or even something abstract. For today's cinema, it wasn't so bad.
I enjoyed watching Vince Vaughn die, although after suffering thru "Made" I wish they would have added back the 30 minutes that was edited and show him getting the death of a 1000 cuts routine.

you're actually OBSESSED with Vince Vaughn?
Wow.....
No, I disagree about that. It only shows that despite his criminal nature, he is still human, and humans can get careless, especially when obsessed and rushed with committing a crime. He was rushed because he was afraid of getting caught and he wanted to make sure the entire boat house would be demolished; and to set the blaze before the father regains consiousness. SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!!! Not to mention it is the one clue that after watching the blaze on TV, and her son's comment about the stepdad's warning, the mother was able to put 2 and 2 together.

I agree. I watched it for Vince. He was great, but the character didn't have much depth. I love Vince in the bad guy roles, but the film was overall weak. Travolta was cheesy, the mom was just ridiculously corny, and the kid was annoying ....but it wasn't the worse movie out there. If Vaughn wasn't in it, it would have been garbage.

HAHA ! (After reading post about Vaughn catching fire after spilling gasoline) I immediately thought : '' I wonder why this didn't happen to Michael Madsen in RESERVOIR DOGS ?'' LOL
sharegreat observation ildon. why do people call an average movie 7/10. A 7 from me is a VERY respectable score. Give a 5 to the average movie, because it is the average of all those numbers . . . you know, 1 thru 10
"I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?"
ehhhh the movie was OK...not too suspenseful or anything. John Travolta's acting was pretty bad.
The best part of the movie was Steve Buchemi. He'll make any movie worth watching.
Because if you are in school, a C is average. C is like a 70. Thus, an average (C) movie gets a ranking of 7/10. Not sure how good you are at division, but 7/10 is the same as 70/100 or 70 per cent.
Return of the King was a ten. Gladiator was an eight. This movie isn't almost as good as Gladiator, it's a six. Worth watching for Vince Vaughn as a ridiculous criminal.
ah, see? there is where you are at fault. If you go to school (and you're probably in junior high elitist) what do you think the worst grade that anybody has got? A 40, maybe? IMDB gives us a scale of 1-10. They intend for all those numbers to be utilized. so, by your rationale, the lowest score u would ever give a movie is a 4.
best movie ever = 10
very good movie = 7
average movie = 5
bad movie = 4
worst movies of all time = 1

Exactly, xfile. Exactly.
I give Domestic Disturbance a 10....on a scale where 1 is awesome and 10 is pure trash pedaled for art, not even that probably by the wheeling and dealing higher ups at the movie studios who think they can just give consumers hungry for quality the cold shoulder while they bask in their reaping mountains of cash which has been put into the movie studios by the consumers gipped by the ad campaigns which flaunt scandilous clothing and whatnot devised by those very same Hollywood executives who've turned tricks in years past on the corporate side of the movie industry by taking advantage of the very ideals the movie industry and more to the point our society is founded on which is supply and demand or as some would like to call it "business" which is what unfortunately these higher ups see the movie industry as not an art form but a platform for exposing either the ignorance of the public or the deceptive cunning of the twisted hallways of their own minds. Bastards.

I wish I could Disagree with you, but unfortunately I think you're on to something. What else could account for movies like Material Girls, Starsky & Hutch, X-Men 3, and that new one, Number 23?

Do you know what average means? Average is not the same as mean, so don't say the average should be five.
Also, I rate a movie based on whether or not I found it entertaining. A movie rated 1, I would recommend not seeing at any costs. A movie rated 10 I would gladly watch again and again. By this scale:
1 - avoid at all costs
2 - avoid under almost any circumstances
3 - avoid unless you have absolutely nothing else to do or watch
4 - watch if you are with an incredibly hot girl
5 - watch if you are bored
6 - not that bad, certainly passable
7 - okay enough, starting to get good
8 - good, watch this once, if you don't like it, you just don't like it
9 - very good, if you don't like it the first time, give it a second look
10 - incredible, if you don't like it, you don't like movies
Domestic Disturbance is a 6.
The Graduate is a 10.
The Empire Strikes Back is a 10.
The Phantom Menace is a 2.
1 - avoid at all costsActually, on your list, this movie is more like a 3. But I think 3 and 4 are pretty much the exact same thing. Because this movie is not passable by any means and if you try watching this when you're bored - you'll become MUCH more bored.
2 - avoid under almost any circumstances
3 - avoid unless you have absolutely nothing else to do or watch
4 - watch if you are with an incredibly hot girl
5 - watch if you are bored
6 - not that bad, certainly passable
7 - okay enough, starting to get good
8 - good, watch this once, if you don't like it, you just don't like it
9 - very good, if you don't like it the first time, give it a second look
10 - incredible, if you don't like it, you don't like movies
Domestic Disturbance is a 6
"Carol, one word of advice: send Cindy to a special school" share
Haha, ElitistPunk is right. 7 is respectable, but average... it's a C in school, so it's a C here. A 5 is an F in school... fortunately, in the entertainment medium, it's at an average level too. Just near the mark of a bad 4.
I would put this movie at a 7 too though. Predictable, some "they got lucky there" kinda scenes, and that ucnecessary scene where they Vince has to burn himself ... but overall, the use of clues and stuff was good and everyone did a great acting job (even the kid, I was pleasantly surprised).
I would much rather see a movie fail trying to do something new than see a movie like this stick to every single thriller cliche known to cinema. There are so many convenient, lucky moments in the film (Travolta arriving at the perfect second at the end) that it kills any suspense one might have somehow summoned.
I'm tired of people saying "It's predictable, but it's still good". As long as customers have that mentality, studios will continue to put out crap like this.
