 Nobody's Fool...Great Christmas MovieAug 28, 2008
By J. Bates
Never seen Fat Man & Little Boy, but the movie Nobody's Fool is worth the price alone. It makes a great holiday movie for your collection and Jessica Tandy is great along with Bruce Willis.
A few months back I wanted to purchase Nobody's Fool and it was out of production...I almost bought the movie for $50.00 on DVD. Good thing I waited.

Ron's review of "Nobody's Fool."Nov 17, 2008
By Ron InLasVegas
Paul Newman has given a score of memorable performances in his long career. His performance as a disillusioned lawyer in "The Verdict" has to rank as one of his best. Very close to that is his performance in "Nobody's Fool." Newman plays a down on his luck handy man in a small town. Initially he appears to be a failure bearly making a living but as the movie unfolds we find that he is a pillar of strength for virtually all who he come in contact with. He makes their lives better and he does it so smoothly hardly anyone notices his efforts. Eventually a son who has disliked and avoided Newman comes to see him for the good person that he is. In a scene where Newman has to spend some time in jail for punching a deputy his son says, "You know, it's not easy being you!" Newman's response is classic: "Don't worry about it. I wasn't very good at it when I started out, either." This is a small movie with a big heart and wit. If you are looking for a movie with blood, bullets, and bodies, forget this movie. If you want to come away with a warm feeling, a smile on your lips, and thoughts about the relationships in your life, I heartily reccommend "Nobody's Fool."

One of Paul Newman's last great rolesMar 10, 2009
By Jared Castle
Currently, this is the only version of Nobody's Fool available on DVD. The fact that you get a Paul Newman doubleheader for the same price as a single title is just a bonus.
Nobody's Fool is one of my favorite dramas and one of Newman's last great roles, as down-on-his luck Sully. The entire cast shines; arguably, this is the best work you've ever seen from Melanie Griffith and Bruce Willis. Add to that a young, pre-Oscar-award-winning Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jessica Tandy's final role and you've got a must see film and a treasure to own.
I like Richard Russo's books. I'm fond of Mohawk, Nobody's Fool and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Empire Falls. The latter book was translated into an HBO miniseries, Empire Falls, which surprisingly also includes performances by Paul Newman and Philip Seymour Hoffman. However,
Newman won only one Oscar, Best Actor for his role in The Color of Money in 1986. However, Newman exudes such casual charm as Sully in Nobody's Fool that it remains my favorite of the two. Rating: Five stars.
P.S. I'm not a big fan of "Fat Man & Little Boy". Unlike Nobody's Fool, the historical drama doesn't have the charm and humor I prefer for repeated viewings.

A Wonderful MovieDec 02, 2008
By TJay
I stumbled upon Nobody's Fool a few years ago as It was on cable. The day I watched it was cold and snowy, a perfect setting to view this movie. It has become one of my favorites of all time and showcases the scope and perfection of Paul Newman's talent.

Paul Newman should have won an oscar for this performance!!Mar 07, 2009
By W. Gonzalez
"Gonzo"
This is just one of those movies I can watch again and again. Obviously Paul Newman was a great, great actor, and made many wonderful movies. However "Nobody's Fool" is a standout for me. Watching his performance in this rich and colorful storyline, reminds us yet again why Paul was a National Treasure. He will be missed, he was a great actor, and even more importantly a great man. This will always be my favorite movie of his, and when he had made so many trully great films, that says something.
Thank you Paul!!!
