SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This gem of a movie only came to my attention because of a back-problem I had suffered a couple of years ago. My Blockbuster store only had 2 copies in, and they were way down on the bottom-most shelf. Since my back had seized in more-or-less a bending stance, it was in the perfect position to catch my eye, and is now one of my favourite films.It's always great to see Gregory Sierra (Barney Miler, Soap) act, and his portrayal of urban-poet Villanazul illustrates the breadth of his stage and screen presence, most notable during the masterful recitation of his character's work.Edward James Olmos is barely recognizable in the early parts of the film, hidden beneath the accumulated grime and stink of the vagrant Vamanos. But after the transformation of a bath, shave, haircut and the magic of the white suit, Vamanos shines as bright as any of the others on their best day.The sequences focusing on Esai Morales, Joe Mantegna and Clifton Gonzales Gonzales round out the fun with music, comedy and a little bit of drama as Mantegna's Gomez struggles with his greed and the thought of betraying his friends. In the end, the suit works it's charm on his conscience and sentimentality.This is one of the best films released in 98 in my opinion. Don't miss it...

This film is one for the family. The characters are fully developed in a very short time. The writing is such that my family was very quickly caught up in the lives and dreams of these men. The acting is warm and honest. This movie stayed with me for awhile. It is magical and inventive. We loved it.

Watching this movie which promised wonderful things -- not just the suit, but the titles, the art direction, a magical Sid Caesar, a heart-thumping Esai Morales -- watching all this go along on the one level that Bradbury allows, all human dimensions squeezed into his One Poetic Idea. Of course the dirty guy is going to take a bath. Of course Gomez won't get on the bus. etc. Joe Mantegna, who i believe has incredible range as an actor, is given one dimension to convey. Caricature. Then, beautiful emotional face of the young man Gonzalez -- also beautiful editing. Next time i watch with no sound.

I thought that "The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit" was a lovely little movie. Rarely do we see a movie in which men talk about their hopes and work co-operatively in order to achieve them. The men in this movie can address their fears and act to triumph over them.There is no violence nor nudity so it appears to be a children's tale, but the themes that are developed in this literate motion picture are important to people of any age.
