In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience.

Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not the subject of the film.

It is an interesting law of romance that a truly strong woman will choose a strong man who disagrees with her over a weak one who goes along.

It is better to find a partner you can contend with for a lifetime than one who accommodates you because he doesn't really care.

Dice Rules is one of the most appalling movies I have ever seen. It could not be more damaging to the career of Andrew Dice Clay if it had been made as a documentary by someone who hated him. The fact that Clay apparently thinks this movie is worth seeing is revealing and sad, indicating that he not only lacks a sense of humor, but also ordinary human decency.
