Since I have a weak spot for Jonathan Demme's work, I was quite eager to check this movie. Eventually, it turned out to be a really wild comedy and I almost really enjoyed it. First of all, I just loved the soundtrack, it was exactly my kind of music and it was even more unexpected from a movie from the 80's since those movies have usually the most lame and cheesy soundtracks you can possibly i... read more

A straitlaced businessman meets a quirky, free-spirited woman at a downtown New York greasy spoon. Her offer of a ride back to his office results in a lunchtime motel rendezvous—just the beginning of a capricious interstate road trip that brings the two face-to-face with their hidden selves. Featuring a killer soundtrack and electric performances from Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, and Ray Liotta, Something Wild, directed by oddball American auteur Jonathan Demme, is both a kinky comic thriller and a radiantly off-kilter love story.

"Watched: February 25, 2020. Director: Jonathan Demme Starring: Melanie Griffith as Audrey Hankel Jeff Daniels as Charles Driggs Ray Liotta as Ray Sinclair This film had some enjoyable moments. I liked Mel Griffith's character at first, she was intriguing and I was impressed with her acting. The film was mysterious, I felt like Charlie and Lulu were embarking on an interesting journey and I was curious about where this would lead them. It was fun at first, but then Ray Liotta's character "
