    I loved the sex while creating a garden scene. I liked Liam in the role and thought it gave the movie an edge it wouldn't have had with another actor.

    Brilliant.. An amazing performance from Liam Neeson and even better from Oliver Platt.. I bought this 6 months after seeing it, and love it even more.

    Dumb, totally under the top, Liam Neeson shows he can really deliver. Oliver Platt shows he can be most annoying. Yet, the movie is what it is - amusing and worth a look.

    Thanks to the first-time filmmaker's attention to character, Gun Shy is worth at least a shot at a matinee.

    The big trouble here is that there seem to be pieces of three different films rubbing up against each other without ever fitting together.
  3. A mildly amusing but forgettable and way-too-scatological black farce.
