| I'm one of Robert De Niro's biggest fans, and this underated gem gives you a rare chance to see him in a role where he's not hitting someone with a baseball bat or shooting everyone in sight! Credit for this excellent film should not only go to the great cast and director, but also to Harriet Frank, Jr. and Irving Ravetch, who wrote the awesome screenplay.
Jane Fonda plays Iris King, a depressed woman whose husband has only been dead for eight months. She has two kids, one of which is a pregnant teenager who's rebelling against Iris. Robert De Niro plays Stanley Cox, a troubled man who can't take care of his own dying father because he can't read or write. Stanley and Iris work in the same factory and when they finally meet, a friendship begins.
When Iris learns about Stanley's problem she decides to teach him how to read and write. Stanley, meanwhile, tries to teach her how to let go of her past and to love again. The close friendship between Stanley and Iris slowly blossoms into a romantic relationship that will change their lives forever. Will Iris be able to let go of her past, and will Stanley learn to read and write while romancing Iris? Watch this gem and find out!

| Maybe you've forgotten that Robert DeNiro was once considered America's best actor. Maybe his constant involvement these days in lousy projects (Showtime, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Hide and Seek, et al) has diminished his reputation? Well, Stanley & Iris is a terrific place to go to see him at his guarded, emotionally tight best.
This is a middle-aged love story, about two people whose lives have been difficult, and who need each other more than they know.
While the direction and story are somewhat weak, the characters of Stanley and Iris and DeNiro and Fonda's performances make the film.
Here you will find excellent acting, genuine vulnerability and and angle of repose and beauty. |

| I love this movie. In a world where movies consist mostly of horny school kids and people who only believe in multiple sex partners and drive by shootings, this movie is such a refreshing change. It concentrates on normal people just trying to make lives for themselves. This is a movie that probably most of middle America can relate to on some level. Jane Fonda is beautiful, and Robert DeNiro is so sweet and endearing. Yeah, it's a chick flick...you got a problem with that? |
