Sadly Over-hyped

People are voting emotionally.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is a good and important movie to watch. It shows spousal abuse from a different angle-the wife was abusing the husband. It also shows how a man's pride can prevent him from either not telling about it, twisting his words, or not being believed. I liked the scene where he calls the shelter and gets hung up on. This movie easily relatable to. I think the performances were first rate, as was everything else, including the subject matter, and the little girl was very cute. Anyone interested in this subject matter should see this.*** out of ****

Hi, PLEASE TRY TO HELP!!! I have spent hours looking for a way to find a copy of this important movie. However, no matter where I have looked there has been no way to locate the origin and/or place where I could turn to find a copy of: "Men Don't Tell" with Peter Straus. Apparently the made-for-TV movie has been shown several times on TV, but can't be found in any Vedio store (even big ones). I'm looking to purchase a copy.Can anyone inform me how/where to find it?Thanks to all who try.Sincerely, Fred GOLFFRED@AOL.com

while male spousal abuse is a very real thing, it's like racism against whites - not reported or considered even an issue, much less a problem. Writing that, I found this movie EXTREMELY funny- the over-top-performances and the way she beat the hell out of him at the Christmas tree- BWAHAHAHAHA! Judith Light ROCKS - she needed to beat the hell out of Tony and show him WHO'S The Boss!! Seriously, anyone who takes this movie seriously really really needs to RUN and NOT walk to a therapist. Stop watching Oprah and get over the sad thing that happened to you. Life isn't fair, especially if you keep letting the past drag down an otherwise happy present or future

In this heroic effort to show another side of domestic violence, Judith Light, who plays the main character, found herself learning about a situation she'd never dreamed was possible. Yet it is true--there are violent women, and just as the character played by Peter Strauss finds, there is no help for male victims. Light and Strauss give honest portrayals of people caught in an ugly situation.Although it was fairly accurate for the time regarding police involvement and other details,laws have changed since this movie was made, rendering many details obsolete. Still, it is the *only* movie of its kind, daring to recognize a hidden, albeit politically incorrect reality.
