Looking for Kitty [DVD]

i puchased this movie because i love the panasonic dvx100b camcorder and this film was shot with that camera, i am a digital filmmaker myself meaning that i only shoot on digital and i make a bunch of digital film projects and this film proves that digital moviemaking can be just as beautiful and cinematic as 16mm or 35mm film when watching this movie i couldnt even tell that it was shot on compressed digital video,the color was more then perfect not a single bit of dar video grain through out the entire film director ed burns has such a unique way of directing and the camcera composition for this film was great, also he shot it the traditional way of making films, which made it look more theatrical and in his director commentaries he tells digital filmmakers all his secrets to making this motion picture for so cheap this movie inspried so many filmmakers its not jusr a movie but with the commentary included its like a filmmaking course all together

A lovely, well-written, and understated film by Edward Burns. I hate to fall into the cliche of "there are two types of people in the world..." but (you knew it was coming) people either seem to love or hate Edward Burns films. Personally, I love everything he's written and directed. He has a keen ear for dialogue that is familiar and fresh at the same time. This particular film is centered on the question "What does it mean to lose someone?" Burns explores this question in a way that deftly skirts melancholy but without becoming trite. "Looking for Kitty" may be best enjoyed if you're already familiar with and enjoy Burns' film world and quirky, but realistic, characters (for newbies, I'd recommend "A Fitzgerald Family Christmas" or "She's the One" to start with and then come back to "Looking for Kitty"). Or, hey, jump in feet first and see if you get hooked.

If you love New York...and love the craziness that goes along with daily life in NY....then you will absolutely adore this movie. I have watched it so many times now. It will make you laugh and there are some parts that will just tear at your heart strings (Ed Burns tearful scene is just heartbreaking). I have all Ed Burns movies for I was born and raised in NY and now live in Georgia. Burns' movies portray the REAL NYC, which allows me to relive my life as a New Yorker. Each movie always has me laughing and crying.....just as I was when living in NY. GREAT MOVIE.....you will adore the story and of course, Ed Burns.

In the end, a baseball coach is the world's greatest job.

I liked this movie enough to then listen to the commentary section, and I am very glad I did. I think Burns did a great job narrating the commentary and made it something that every budding movie-maker, and those interested in movie-making, must hear. He talks about the details of putting together a very low budget film, shot digitally and without permits, not much lighting, utilizing friends, asking for favors, etc. I enjoyed this aspect of the movie more than the movie itself, which is still quite good.

I love this movie a great low budget comedy/drama.

Not my favorite Edward Burns movie.

great writer, director, actor. his films are so true to life. wonderful artist - great new yorker - you can see he loves his state
