Reviews for The Caveman's Valentine
At more than two hours, it's just a good (long) walk in the park.
03/02/01
There is something very appealing about Samuel L. Jackson as Romulus Ledbetter.
03/01/01
Mood -- and of course Jackson's performance -- sustains the movie.
03/08/01
Top CriticAn inconsistent movie, but the good stuff is built on top of the bad stuff, so there's a sense that even the flat scenes need to be there.
03/08/01
Despite and sometimes because of its unevenness, the film conveys the delusions of daily existence with fierce poetry.
03/09/01
Mostly good fun.
03/08/01
Works as everything but a mystery, yet it is intriguing in a number of ways.
03/02/01
Top CriticA satisfying bit of eeriness.
02/13/01
A delightful little mystery where nothing is what it really seems and gives Sam Jackson a chance to shine like he hasn't in years.
03/01/01
Highly watchable, enlivened by Jackson's wildly intense turn as Romulus, and some good supporting performances.
03/08/01
It's an intriguing bunch of characters who stay with you long after the film's absurd ending has dissipated.

Mesmerizing is the word to describe Samuel L. Jackson's performance.
02/22/01
Overall, the film is certainly interesting to watch ... It's just too bad that once the premise is set up, that the details of the mystery and the protagonist's attempt to solve it feel like a bit of a letdown in comparison.
03/09/01
A compelling, individual drama unlike any you’re ever likely to see.
04/02/01
Unlike most movies these days, which have very little going on inside them so as not to confuse the audience, The Caveman's Valentine roils with both narrative and cinematic ideas.
03/30/01
An utterly fascinating film that probably would not work without Jackson.
02/07/01
Top CriticWhile Lemmon's film is uneven, it's still a unique piece of work by an inventive filmmaker willing to take risks.
03/15/01
There is pleasure in giving oneself up to the gusty swirls of the film's imagery, and especially to the handsome grandeur of its star.
