My dad has been trying to get me to see this for MONTHS! He would ask me all the time if I’d seen Something Wild yet. I finally caved. I can’t remember seeing him smile so hard as when I asked him if he wanted to watch it tonight, he may have shed a tear.

Not at all what I was expecting! The poster makes it look like a screwball comedy, which is where act I feels like it’s going, but as time goes by, the movie gets dark, and real. You really get to know Lulu and her insecurities.

Jeff Daniels absolutely blew me away. I’ve always enjoyed him in Dumb and Dumber and his various Aaron Sorkin projects, but I’d never seen him as a romantic lead. He’s charming, goofy, serious, endearing, absolutely charismatic. Melanie Griffith is also great in this film. I didn’t love her in Working Girl, I think this is her better performance.

On the other hand, while I enjoyed Ray Liotta, he can be over acting at times.

This is quite a weird point in Jonathan Demme’s career, between a Talking Heads concert movie and his masterpiece Silence of the Lambs. His interest in music really shines through here with a great soundtrack and plenty of diegetic music happening around the characters. 

Very entertaining movie that desperately needs a better poster.

It’s a film about rebelling against an ordinary life that ends up being quite ordinary and flat itself.

The characters are fairly dull and generic: Charles is the typical overachiever who’s just been promoted in his bland, alienating office job, while Lulu is a standard, over-the-top rebel who disregards any social or moral rule.

One aspect that had potential was the protagonist’s wife, since it wasn’t clear whether she even existed, but it ends up serving only as a minor twist without leading to anything truly interesting.

In the end we’re told that Charlie has changed his life, but why not show how? Sure, in theory we all want a life full of emotion and adventure, outside the white walls of an office, but how do you actually make that happen? The film doesn’t give an answer, and while it doesn’t have to, neglecting this aspect makes the whole story feel even more monotonous and unengaging.

That said, there are still several interesting scenes that build tension and are fairly engaging, like the phone call while he’s handcuffed, or the moment he spots his colleague.
But considering that even here the suspense is ultimately based on the protagonist’s own fabrication—since his wife has actually left him—these scenes arguably lose some of their impact.
