Cons: a lack of critical thinking while fighting in the courts

Proud to be an American, Where at least I know I’m Free

The People vs. Larry Flynt was a movie about many concepts, to challenge the open mindedness of many who watched it, and those who cursed it. Larry was a freedom fighter. He was a smut...

Pros: excellent writing, storytelling and acting
Cons: clearly slanted to the left, where Flynt gets airbrushed, though for dramatic reasons

Cons: Extreme sexual content will deter many close-minded viewers, the same people the film's message needs to reach

"The People vs. Larry Flynt" is one of the most impressive arguments for freedom of speech to ever come out of Hollywood. Director Milos Forman ("Man on the Moon") assembled an amazing cast for his controversial tale of the life of...

Pros: A movie that makes you proud to be an American.
Cons: A movie that makes you depressed to be an American.

In this country, heroes come in many different forms. They cross the Delaware to fight the English. They free the slaves. They lead the country past the Nazis. They hit homeruns. Then there is a hero who sold porn magazines. Larry Flynt's life is ...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Somewhat lacking truth

What appears to have really got up the noses of feminists and the Moral Majority in the States, to say nothing of some British critics, is that Larry Flynt, the flawed 'hero' of this fascinating biopic, is not exactly the kind of character they'd enjoy...

Pros: Well told story, well acted and beautifully directed
Cons: A lot of adult content, so limited audiences

This was a great movie.

A man named Larry Flynt is "just trying to make an honest dollar". As a kid, he makes and sells moonshine... as an adult, he sets the stage for pornography in many forms, but especially through a publication...

Pros: Challenging story, performed superbly
Cons: It's sure to offend all but the most broad-minded.

This is the bizarre biography of Larry Flynt, the sleazy, vulgar, self-destructive publisher of Hustler magazine, one of the most reviled pornographic publications in American history. Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and directed...

Pros: Fabulous direction and performances
Cons: Difficult subject matter

"The People vs. Larry Flynt" is a very good film and actually documentary of the life of one of America's most infamous men. Larry Flynt, the king of porn, as many refer to him, is not one of America's most popular men, but he is without a...

Pros: Fascinating
Cons: How are we going to explain this to our kids?

The People vs. Larry Flynt tells the fascinating true story of a low-class lower-class man’s rise to fame through the exploitation of nude women. Larry Flynt, played by Woody Harrelson, is stereotypical white trash running a series of seedy strip joints...

"The People vs. Larry Flynt" is the story of adult magazine publisher, the controversial Larry Flynt and his fight to publish what he wants under the rights of the US Constitution. The movie moves very slowly, and does not catch the viewer. However, ...

Pros: Great entertainment about actual events
Cons: Subject matter for the mature

Let's face it, American culture churns out some pretty disgusting stuff. People have the right to say and publish some foul garbage. Look at Hustler magazine (if you can bear to): gynecological photographs, disgusting humor, and a basic degradation of...

Pros: high quality acting
Cons: you have to be open-minded

The People Vs. Larry Flynt was excellent movie. If you are open minded enough you can watch this film and enjoy the quality and content. But if you can not leave your own dislike of Larry Flynt and or what he did then I would not recommend this movie....

Pros: freedom themes
Cons: for some--sexual content

"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press . . .."

This is what the movie is all about. If you love the Constitution, you should love the movie. I say should, because there are a lot of...

Pros: Patriotic, inspiring, enlightening
Cons: nudity, drug use, profanity

It was a Saturday night and choices were slim at the video store. This was the only reason I pulled this video off the shelve and took it home. My enthusiasm about seeing this film was lukewarm at best. Before viewing the film, my impression of Larry...
