A survivor's handbook

If you want to know what this movie is about, check out the reviews below. If you want a good reason to see it, consider an incredible performance by Holly Hunter and an outstanding directorial debut by one of the best screenwriters in the business - Richard La Gravenese.
Holly Hunter has never been better. While many stars today seem comfortable giving us the same predictable character over and over again, film after film, she continues to deliver an outstanding and freshly original performance with each new offering. In this movie, Hunter plays her part so convincingly that many women who have played this role in real life will quickly identify with her character's plight and the journey it takes her on.
For La Gravenese, rare is the screenwriter who consistantly creates great stories supported by words with such meaning and truth - I found myself clinging to every line. In "Living Out Loud," he has filmed the must see movie for every woman who has ever been slighted by her man and yet, despite it all, managed to move on and survive just fine without him, thank you.
This film earns every star!

I was amazed at how quickly my purchase arrivedLiving Out Loud [Region 2]Living Out Loud. I live in Hawaii, and everything takes a week or usually longer to get here. Somehow I received it in about 3 days. In addition, the video I purchased was a very good price. Even more amazingly, I was charged a fair shipping price. What a pleasant surprise this purchase was! I highly recommend using this vendor.

I am not going to attempt to imitate a movie critic. Instead, I will just say that this film is incredibly good, and makes you genuinely care about the characters in it. This is also the movie that made me like Danny DeVito - after many years of considering him nothing but annoying comic relief, I finally got to see him in something that shows his true talent portraying a full spectrum of emotion. Funny how just watching one movie can completely change ones' opinion. This is a must-see movie. If you are in love, you will appreciate your relationship more. If you are alone, this will give you hope, and show that you are not alone at all.

Danny DeVito, Holly Hunter, and Queen Latifah deliver award-worthy performances. Beautiful, sad, realistic, hilarious, moving story.
Never get tired of watching it.
The soundtrack is phenomenal as well.
