Just about the time I think Bill Pullman couldn't do any better.......along comes another diamond.....this one not the least bit in the rough. Beautiful authentic adaptation of Owen Wister's book...marveously cast, and the scenery a feast for the eyes. Even though the Canadian scenery was extraordinarily beautiful, I would have liked to have had the movie filmed in the U.S.A.

The female lead was a bit wooden, but she can be credited with giving a passable performance. I venture to ask.....why would a Vermont straight laced, proper lady venture out into the wilds of the untamed West and still demand an eastern gentleman's manners? A cowboy's manners are every bit as appropriate as any other gentleman's for a lady....and Bill Pullman's Virginian was every bit a gentleman. He needed no educating from Molly 'in that regard'.

I do take pleasure viewing Bill's father-in-law as an extra in Bill's films. A nice gesture.....typically Pullman. His children must have had fun being in Dad's film also. What a guy!!!!!!!!!!!

A comment by my hubby who is a fan of Bill Pullman's. Not as ardent as I am, but an honest viewer of films in which the actors display their skills and artistry effectively. Bill Pullman does this.

"Zero Effect has an effective plot development and character definition and refinement. Pullman exercises the scope and depth of his acting skills when the sociopath morphs into a social agent as the situation demands this persona, and reverts to form when alone. Zero is the perfect objective observer who is compromised when his 'soft underbelly' is exposed. Bill Pullman handled this transformation superbly.

We've travelled many miles to view Bill Pullman movies and fortunately this one came to our local theatre. Unfortunately, the theatre was not packed, as it should have been, and my loud guffaws bounced from wall to wall. Nora Ephron should have cast Sandra Bullock in the Lottery girl's role....minus the filthy mouth. Too much gratuitous foul language from Lisa Kudrow who also gave a 'forced' performance. Travolta was disarming as the 'oh so cool' weatherman, he carried his role well. Who stole the movie?? Bill Pullman with his comedic skills did!!!! His Officer Lakewood was outstandingly outstanding. His body language and facial expressions communicate admirably to an audience. Hollywood should acknowledge this marvelous actor a bit more.

I love Ephron's signatures, Christmas time, snow globes, pleasant music. How about another Ephron, Pullman, Bullock movie?

We went to see this movie because of Judge Reinhold and discovered a talented actor......Bill Pullman. This man is not only handsome, he has the quiet comedic skills of the old silent movie comedians....Keaton, Laurel, et al, and the charm of Jimmy Stewart. His timing is marvelous, his maturity is appreciated. Hollywood......take notice!!!!
