Madigan's Millions

unwatchable.......2005-04-29

When this DVD arrived home, I expected quality for the price. It's not that the plot was bad - it's not. Rather, it's a bumbling comedy and actually quite amusing in a clumsy Austin Powers set in Rome vs. Great Britain sort of way - if one could see the picture! As soon as the credits rolled, snap, crackle, pop! All scenes in mottled gray midnight. This looks dubbed from a VHS cassette that was overplayed. I could still see lines in the picture. This was made in someone's basement maybe. I don't know. The image will shimmy, shake, flutter and flicker and the audio is muffled. The film ran a little over one hour, forty minutes of which gave me a migraine. I returned this DVD and found a restored copy via Troma company and guess what? The picture was restored, the audio clear as a bell and about 30 minutes of deleted scenes! Now this movie makes sense. It's a silly romp, for Hoffman fans it's a neat flick to own. But, Passion Productions wanted a fast profit without working to bring this movie up to 2005 DVD standards. I can't believe it was even sold for this price.

Huh?.......2003-09-24

I found the exact same edition of this DVD brand new at a discount store for $3. When I got it home, the video was terrible, and there was no audio. The recording quality is the worst I have ever seen, and there are NO extras. Even the film description on the box is full of typos, spelling errors and incorrect grammar. There was not even a paper insert in the DVD case. This looks like a DVD someone made in their garage...and they want $25 for it? I have seen this film before, and while not remarkable it is enjoyable for Hoffman fans. That having been said, I suggest you wait until they re-release in in watchable form!

RAISING INCOMPETENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS WAS NOT THE PLAN.......2003-09-22

Dustin Hoffman rules as an american agent in Italy investigating the million dollars that is owed to the US Treasury from a deported American gangster!!It's a must see!!

What a turkey!.......2002-07-05

Not even Dustin Hoffman's presence can save this movie. It is simply awful. A joint American-Italian effort (though 'effort' may be misleading), Madigan's Millions is utterly inane and devoid of entertainment. Hoffman looks ill at ease, and fails to convince the audience that he enjoyed making the movie. The poor chap was simply embarrassed, no doubt, at being implicated in such an abysmal attempt at film-making. Dire.
