There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Hi,I'm from Pekin.I felt belittled from this movie. We're a quite town hardly any crime and just very peaceful place to live.Obviously you've never been here or you would have picked somewhere else to make the character from. Well anyway its just offensive and demeaning. If someone was to see the movie they could think we are all buffoons we are not.I like Danny in some things but not this. As for this movie I say boo and he is much better of an artist than this. I would like for you to look up pekin on the web and tell me what you think of my little town. Reply and we will see what you think.THANK YOU

How can this movie be so bad?! It has some of my favorite actors in it and still is was horrible! I kept waiting for it to get better or have a great twist that made sitting through all the lame attempts at humor worth it - No such luck! Even my husband gave up and went to bed three quarters through. Kathy Bates acted the same part as in The Waterboy - but not funny. I kept waiting to hear "Bobby Boucher, come give your mama a kiss". Ron Livingston played an extremely boring part that was unconvincing. Danny DeVito was more irritating than funny and Neve? Her part was just plain forgettable. You know the anger and bewilderment that comes after watching a bad movie? I have it - Don't waste your time.

I see this all the time sadly. Movies that get little to no recognition by hardly anyone that, even though they are not masterpieces, could be a lot of fun to many people. Here again is another movie I decided to watch primarily based on the cast. I mean, with Neve Campbell, Kathy Bates and Danny Devito, I hoped I was going to get some satisfaction at least, and I was certainly right. I thankfully came across this movie because it was at a video store near me that I went to all the time that carried a lot of obscure movies, among popular ones of course. I most definitely did not find it because it had any publicity or anything, which is why it is so unknown. Relative Strangers is all around very fun and entertaining, and well worth the time. While it is not a masterpiece, like I said, I enjoyed it a lot and thought it was a well made film, regardless of minor mediocrities due to budget and indistinguishable crew members (I mean, the director was only known for the Meet the Parents series basically, if anyone knew him for that), and also I do realize it is not the greatest film ever. I got the movie for the cast as I have mentioned, that's it, and that is another reason why I enjoyed it as much as I did. Though the film is not necessarily fantastic on it's own, the cast is wonderful and works with the material amazingly. Neve Campbell and Kathy Bates are a delight for me at least in any film anyway. The story is not amazing and the other main actor, whose name escapes me if I ever knew it in the first place, is not as enjoyable as the other three really well known stars, but it's genuine enjoyability, if you loosen up, is what makes this film come through in the end. So should you give Relative Strangers a chance if you happen to come across this comment? If you know you will be able to like it for what it is, a fun and endearing little speculation, then most definitely, because it is just a very fun movie with some heartwarming qualities. I was very pleased with the outcome, and am glad I had the chance to view it. Do not even pay attention to it's ridiculous rating.

This was by no means a great movie, but it was enjoyable.The production values were low and the performances at times suffered from overacting -- especially by Danny DeVito. But, the film had a little bit of heart, and I couldn't help but smile at times.Neve Campbell is so beautiful here; I can't understand why she's not more famous. She just radiates and lights up the screen every time she is on here.Kathy Bates was great, as always, but I found Ron Livingston's performance to be a little stale.If you're looking for a lighthearted movie to help you waste away a Sunday afternoon, this is it. Just don't expect too much and you won't be that disappointed.
