How much do you love Tom Waits?
Added 1/6/2009
I bought this movie for my daughter because she and I are huge fans of Tom Waits, not just because of his music but also because we think he's a funny guy and we weren't disappointed- cause he's funny in this movie. All the actors are great except for Sally Kirkland- bless her heart. Nothing against her acting abilites in general, but she wasn't very well suited for this role at all. All in all, I'm glad I bought it- we both thought it was somewhat amusing and, for us, any chance to see Tom Waits do anything is time well spent and enjoyed by us.

Tom Waits Biggest and Funniest Role.
Added 2/11/2007
I'm always trying to find Tom in a movie..just to check him out. The gods will be kind one day when Wait's concert documentary Big Time comes out as a legit DVD. Bizarre that such a visual entertainer has no commercial work on DVD. Anyway, this film Cold Feet, is a romp that seems to start out a bit ruthless, and then turns into a road film. Tom plays an idiot/comic crook who really has his head up his butt.If you're a Waits fan, this film will make you smile as you watch Tom's character try to prove himself as a pro, but shoots himself in the foot all the way. Sally Kirkland shows how flexible her chops are as a sex/food nut, and impresses especially since this is so different than her work in her oscar nominated Anna. This is a breezy film and a gift for Waits fans. The role is bigger than what Tom had in Hecto Begencos' classic IronWeed. It's also very cheap used here on Amazon. The cast is all pro. Score is hip, and looks like it's also avail here on amazon for super cheap. Andre
