About this product

Product Information

This seriocomic adaptation of Mordecai Richler's award-winning 1997 novel stars Paul Giamatti as Barney Panofsky, who meets the great love of his life, Miriam (Rosamund Pike), at the most inopportune time imaginable: his marriage to his second wife (Minnie Driver), a wealthy Jewish princess and compulsive shopper. Narrated by Barney as a confessional, the film covers 30 years of his unusual journey -- from his first marriage to the chronically unfaithful free spirit Clara (Rachelle Lefevre) and their life in Italy together, through his third marriage to Miriam, with whom he has two children. Standing in the wings is Barney's father, Izzy (Dustin Hoffman), who continues to stick by him as his loyal right-hand man. Through it all, Barney experiences numerous highs and lows, but manages to consistently surprise everyone with unforeseen acts of altruism and kindness that turn him into the quintessential modern hero.

  • Paul Giamatti's Highest Achievement

    I bought this simply because Dustin Hoffman was in it, and he rarely, if ever disappoints however, he does play a minor character. The main character (Barney) is played by Paul Giamatti, who over the years, in my opinion, has had difficulty finding roles that suit his talent. This movie was written for him. I cannot imagine anyone else in the role of Barney. The movie is a retrospective of a man's life, from that man's perspective. The characters around him are all unique and interesting in their own right, and Minnie Driver deserves kudos for her performance as well. She was perfect as the Jewish American Princess from New York. For an English actress the got the accent and the attitude just right. Overall, I found it entertaining and would feel comfortable recommending it to any adult, who is well traveled, and lived life.
