100It's all we ask of a film but almost never get, as it first makes us squirm, then makes us cheer.
-
100The most resonant and haunting movie I've seen this year.
-
100One of the year's best and most provocative films.
-
100One of the best films of the year. Queer in every sense of the word, it's poignant, laugh-out-loud funny and thoroughly provocative.
-
100Possibly the most daring and honest drama about sexuality I've ever seen.
-
90Might be the most perversely agreeable stalker picture ever made.
-
89The kind of movie that gets under your skin and takes root.
-
88You wouldn't think the darn thing would have such lingering power.
-
83For a picture about a stalker, Chuck and Buck is rather sweet, funny and winning.
-
80Had this idea been pursued to its conclusion instead of the pat, wishfully ready-for-TV ending we're fed, the movie would be a standout.
-
80Manages to be not only consistently droll but cumulatively poignant and even scary.
-
80Succeeds because it turns out not to be the movie it might so easily have been.
-
80Strange, intense and moving -- one of the few truly grown-up movies you're likely to see this year.
-
75A fascinating study of behavior that violates the rules.
-
75The acting is excellent.
-
75An oddity, but a remarkably intriguing and original one, and in Buck ... it also has the most unforgettable movie character of the year.
-
75A reverse male-bonding tale unlike anything you've ever seen. And it's not the easiest good movie to sit through.
-
75It becomes stronger and more honest than most character studies on film.
-
75Comes on like an "After School Special'' psychodrama that's been taken off its medication.
-
75Chuck and Buck: A fungus among us.
-
70Despite Arteta's best efforts, I eventually stopped caring about their bond because Chuck's character is conceived as such a two-dimensional yuppie.
-
70Arteta and White manage to bring off both the comedy and the tenderness in this tale of a jilted friend who sticks to his passions like chewing gum on a shoe.
-
70The "Citizen Kane" of twisted-geek movies.
-
70A provocative and uncomfortable comedy.
-
63Almost too creepy to be poignant, and generally funny only in an uncomfortable, squirm-in-your seat way.
-
63Its premise is so promising that you long for more than Arteta's low-key approach can deliver.
-
60Arteta wrings some laughs from their bizarre (and more than a little frightening situation), but they're uncomfortable laughs, emotional protection from the freak show.
-
58(Arteta's) yanked an eerily accomplished performance out of his lead actor.
-
30Crude and inept.
-
25Unlike other movies about unpleasant characters, "In the Company of Men," for example, Chuck & Buck doesn't have that sharp observational edge.
