B-Grade flick with brother of famous actor.......2007-06-19

I'll bet Matt Dillon's parents are pi**ed that they didn't have one child per year to infiltrate the film industry with tough guy silent types in leather jackets. as it is all we got is Matt, Kevin and now Paul!

Not that good, not as bad .......2004-12-17

When i got the dvd i wasnt expecting a good movie at all based on reviews but the movie wasnt completely horrible. I thought Uma Thurman was really amazing in her first ever acting role, and Steve Buscemi is incredible when he shows up for an appearance and makes the film hilarious. The directing sucked my third nipple, and the end of the movie was really poorly written. Only recomended to Uma fans and if you wanna see Steve Buscemi in a hilarious minor role. 2.5/5

Uma's First..........2004-06-11

Yep, this is indeed Uma's first film. She plays Laura, a gal who seeks out rich men, let's them pick her up and take her back to their residences, where she drugs them and robs them blind! An old friend named Sid (Paul "Not Matt" Dillon) shows up at Laura's place unexpectedly. Laura lets him stay with her while he tries to find his old bandmate Johnny (Steve Buscemi). Meanwhile, Laura goes on with her "career". She has an older gentleman friend named William Tildon (Paul Richards), who is quietly obsessed with Laura because she reminds him of his daughter. William gets increasingly weird and Laura seems clueless about his obsession. Laura is being followed by a mysterious dark sedan that appears outside of her victiims' homes. Is it William? Sid? I enjoyed this movie. It's not the best ever, but it's certainly not a bad debut for Ms. Thurman. I gave it 4 stars because I couldn't take my eyes off of her! You can definitely see how / why she would go on to be in films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill...

A bad movie featuring the impressive debut of Uma Thurman.......2003-09-17

Kiss Daddy Goodnight's only real claim to fame is its casting of Uma Thurman in her first major film role. Shot on 16mm film by director Peter Ily Huemer, this odd independent film from 1988 has little going for it in terms of plot, production quality, and vision, yet Thurman's performance injects something into the experience that makes it worth watching. Thurman plays Laura, a mysterious girl with a face that belies her character's unsavory proclivities; living alone in some obscure apartment building, Laura takes care of herself by going to bars, accompanying seemingly wealthy men home, slipping them a mickey, and robbing them. She actually has a rather complete set of wigs, each identified by the name she adopts for her money-making excursions. Early on in the film, an old acquaintance named Sid (Paul Dillon) shows up and does his best to drag the movie down into oblivion by dressing and acting as if he were Rocky Balboa. Sid's character is a stone that drags this film down into the depths of futility, and the disjointed plot does basically nothing to help the situation. On the other side of Laura stands an older male neighbor named William (Paul Richards). His relationship with Laura is a friendly one, but his fondness for the younger lady never feels exactly right. Midway through the film, Laura finds herself being stalked by some unknown individual, and tragedy begins to emerge from the shadows. The final climax offers little in the way of surprise, and then a clumsy ending seals the deal on a generally unimpressive film.

Thurman, though, bears watching in this role. She really had little to work with here, swimming upstream against a plot that seemed intent on introducing basically senseless scenes whenever the film actually managed to draw one's interest. Sid spends the first half of the film looking for an old acquaintance named Johnny in hopes of putting together a band, making me question at the time why he was even in the film to begin with. Paul Dillon gives a pretty decent performance as the older man William, but the ending of the film does a lot of damage to the good work he put in early on. When all is said and done, Laura is the only character it seems possible to connect to, and Uma Thurman's impressive performance adds the layer of complexity necessary to make any part of this whole experience the least bit worthwhile; this is really a two-star film, but I'm giving it three stars solely on the basis of her performance. Uma Thurman fans would do well to seek this film out, as it is her first movie, but there's really no reason for the casual viewer to make a point of seeing Kiss Daddy Goodnight.

BAD MOVIE.......1998-12-17

I had been trying to find a copy of this movie for a long time, when finally I spotted a used copy at my favorite used video store. Let's just say I was extremely disappointed. Bad acting, bad plot, bad directing... even the quality of my tape was bad. The movie's only redeeming quality is seeing a young and beautiful Uma Thurman in her first role.
