 | I have watched the video of "My New Gun" three times, and each time I have discovered more interesting, telling details. The plot doesn't drive the film; instead, it seems to evolve almost by happenstance from the characters themselves. Although there is no "crack-me-up" humor at all, if you think about what is going on as it happens, this movie is hilarious. Diane Lane, James LeGros, and Stephen Collins all shine. |

| This film has an unusual mood and ambiance that I've never seen anywhere else but in Stacy Cochran's other film "Boys". It is mundane, mysterious, and funny all at once. Just as happens in "Boys," the main character in "My New Gun", expertly played by Diane Lane, is subtly moved out of her dissatisfying everyday life by the arrival of an unwanted object (the gun) and an appealingly dangerous outsider (Skippy, wonderfully played by James LeGros.) Highly recommended for anyone with an offbeat sense of humor or an appreciation for subtly taught life lessons. I would love to see more movies from this excellent director. |

| I agree with the previous reviewer. Diane Lane is better than most of the actresses out there. She was a gifted child actress and has continued to shine over the years. Please Hollywood, stop casting the same familiar actresses (Roberts, Diaz, Barrymore). There's nothing wrong with them at all, but Diane deserves to be there too! |
| Rating | | | Date | August 17, 1999 | | Summary | Great acting by Hollywood's most underated actress... | Content
| I saw this movie without really knowing what it was about and was completely suprised by how good it is. Diane Lane, who is not only beautiful, but talented, plays a yuppie housewife who is given a gun by her husband. After she gets her neighbor involved, James Legros, they embark on series of strange, and mysterious events. This movie won best picture at the Sundance film festival in 1992, and is worth renting, but don't buy unless it's under $20. Diane Lane is truly underated in Hollywood and "My New Gun" proves why. |
