That was an excellent one.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A fun enough little independent comedy starring my boys Sam Rockwell and Mark Ruffalo. The plot is pretty basic; a case of mistaken identity leads a Jewish gangster to think that Sam (Rockwell) and Eddie (Steve Zahn) are top safe crackers and they have to crack three safes or else they'll be killed. There are some twists and turns along the way, including the ups and downs of Sam's relationship with the daughter of a man they try to rob from, that make it pretty fun but the best humor in it comes from the small stuff (a story about a pair of exploding slacks, Frank (Ruffalo) growing a mustache that is met twice with the compliment of 'Sweet 'stache.' and his response of 'Thanks bro.', etc.) Rockwell, Ruffalo and Paul Giamatti (as the gangster's right hand man) all give very fun performances that make the film an enjoyable ride. Rockwell's character is unlike anything I've seen him do; a very shy, geeky man-child who is just trying to get by and find love. He's great in it. The film is full of it's share of flaws (some of the jokes don't go over well at all, it drags a lot, etc.) but it's ultimately just a small, fun comedy.

Hilarious! this thoughtful comedy is just the kind of viewing people should be enjoying! The characters branch off from reality just enough hold our interest. An entirely star studded cast lends itself charmingly to the outrageous plot. Actors like Mark Ruffalo and Sam Rockwell seem so fresh as relatively unknown actors at the time. Fabulous writing, a unique blend of spoofing, and dialect are the root of all hilarity in this movie. The Soundtrack is also a winner featuring Al Green and other great artists. Paul Giamatti is wonderfully cast as sidekick/butt-kiss to Bernie Gale, the Jewish mafioso. (Bernie Gale played by Michael Lerner.) As a couple of kids refining their talent, Sam Rockwell & Steve Zahn Get mixed up with unlikely characters and are suddenly forced initiate an attempt to save their lives, earning bounty from local safes. Harvey Fierstein shows off his unique ability to earn your undivided attention through detailed storytelling. Watch it twice to really hear all the inflections and murmurs that will send you rolling. This movie is a sure-fire way to enjoy a weeknight date. "Safe Men" has yet to be replaced as my all out best comedy, neglectfully underrated!

The most underrated comedy of the last fifteen years. It's smart, fresh, warm, subtle, tender... one of the best ensemble casts in any kind of movie. just great fun. a lightness of tone that reminds of nnotchka. ruffalo, rockwell, and giamatti all show why they were about to become stars. giamatti is particularly unforgettable in this one. also, the fierstein monologue and Bernie Jr. are the stuff of legend. just a terrific fun film. the kind of movie i wouldn't mind that bad if it were playing in the hospital while i was on my death bed. why not? it gets the picture pretty good. maybe i'd prefer if there were some Paul robeson movie on, or a martin luther king speech, or maybe gena rowlands... but i wouldn't cry if safe men was on.

What's more funny than a couple of lounge singers, Jewish gangsters fromProvidence and unrequited love. The cast is amazing. Sam rockwell is a genius. Wheter he's in drama (Heist) or comedy(Welcome to Collinwood) he's seems toenjoy his work and when the actor is having fun the audience will follow suit. Mark Ruffalo, Steve Zahn(totally underrated), Paul Giamatti and the oldschoolers, Michael Lerner and Harvey Fierstein make this one of the best cast films in recent memory. Christina Kirk is sexy and funny and tough. The guy who plays the MC at the Bar Mitzbah is awesome. I laughed my ass off frombeginning to end.
