Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent
Comment: This is one of my favorite films. Its a sweet, well written story of a mentally challenged man(played by Tom Hulce) and his twin brother(Ray Liotta) and their life together. Tom Hulce gives and outstanding and under rated, often subtle and moving perfomance. This movie will make you laugh, cry and think. THis movie is the antidote to Forest Gump and Radio.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Italians without gangsters.
Comment: The previous reviewers are all right: this is a soul wrenching, tear jerking, should-have-won-an-Oscar movie. It is a beautiful story of two brothers, and the love and secret pain of the past that they share. Hulce's acting is supurb, and both Liotta and Curtis are impressive. Dominik and Eugene is also refreshing as a story of Italian American characters with no gangsters in sight. Martin Scorsese could not have done this one. A must-own movie that also makes a wonderful gift.

Summary: Great Acting by All Involved
Comment: This is a heart warming tear jerker, and not just because of the two great main characters. Todd Graff is great as Nicky's garbage collector partner, and this was the first movie in which I saw David Straithairn, who has gone on to be one of the best and most underrated actors ever. I believe the young boy who plays his son might be Edward Furlong, of "The Terminator" fame. Not sure on that, though. At any rate, the whole story is great and so well acted. I'm buying the DVD so I can watch it any time I want.

Summary: Tom Hulce's lovably, heartwarming performance
Comment: Once again Tom Hulce extends his superior talent toward a character who is not only believably real, but who exemplifies the goodness and innocence that lies inside of all human beings. Tom Hulce became my favorite actor after I saw his comical, yet vulnerably inclined performance in Amadeus. It's unfortunate that he has not been recognized for his list of powerful performances with anything but Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. His ability to take on extremely memorable and complex characters as well as the emotions he imparts through facial expressions is invaluable in an actor and it is one of the features that make Tom Hulce the extraordinary actor he is. He truly embodies the innocence and goodness in Dominick ("Nicky")Luciano. Through Dominick, Hulce instills the importance of the human spirit, emotions, and ties that everyday people are bound to and makes his audience want to search for the uniqueness in every individual.

Summary: Loved it
Comment: I just saw this movie like last night. It was on one of the movie channels, encore. Wow, this has to be either my second or third favorite movie (Rain Man being the first then Stand by Me). First of all, I'm 13 years old, and I love like all old movies from the 70s and 80s. Anyway, this is about two brothers, Dominick who's brain damaged, and Eugene who's studying to become a surgeon. It's such a great movie, and it will make you laugh and cry. I recammend this to young and old alike.
