I just finished watching Danny Deckchair....so everything is fresh. Of course its not something you spend three years dissecting, arguing, and comparing. Its a light, full-hearted film meant to make you feel good about life and love and all that stuff. What I loved about it was that it was all that stuff and not such a big production! The initial premise was so outrageous that it was unbelievable but the rest, well it could be measured with a yard stick.....maybe a yard pole. If you didn't enjoy it......well maybe your cynicism has become more than a hobby.

i just had a very cursory glance at the comments on this film, but it seems to me that no one has made the connection between the rabbit and Alice's rabbit. I haven't listened to the director comments on the DVD, but whenever I see a very large, somewhat disturbing rabbit, mixed with altering realities I tend to think of Alice in Wonderland. I am in no way stating that Lewis Carrol was eating mushrooms and dropping acid while he was writing this fantastical book, but especially during the eighties(which a couple users commented the children of as being the target for this film) this would be a foregone conclusion,its as clear as a CRUCIFIXATION so if the rabbit is an allusion to Alice in Wonderland well its a pretty f%^&*% dark wonderland.....the world has changed and innocence is lost to psychosis.

I love Nicholas Cage. I mean it. I love him. But that even couldn't make this movie right for me. I read the book maybe that was the problem. But it was a major waste of time. Completely prosaic. American made and obvious. And I am actually an american (just happen to live in australia). I wish Penelope would just go away. She was a good actress in Blow. But was she acting. I gave this movie a one.
