Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
"Before I met you, I thought I was in trouble," says moneyed museum worker Minnie (Gena Rowlands) to longhaired car park attendant Seymour (Seymour Cassel) over a hot dog and a coffee. Such is the basis of true love in Minnie and Moskowitz, a shaggy, unusually romantic comedy that is nonetheless pure John Cassavetes. After a long introductory sequence in which each character fills the screen with the rhythm of their respective lives, they meet when Seymour rescues Minnie from a blind date gone hopelessly bad. Minnie and Seymour have almost nothing in common--he's a talkative, spontaneous goof with quicksilver emotions, a dead-end job, and little ambition, she's a shy, insecure but sincere upper-class single in an abusive affair with a married man (an uncredited Cassavetes, insidiously charming and cruelly bullying). But they are both lonely romantics with a love of Bogart movies. As in most of Cassavetes's work, the script is less a story than a string of dramatic engagements colored with the quirks and emotional impulses of its characters, and he takes his time exploring the nooks and crannies of the volatile relationship. But amidst the shouting matches and frenzied fights are moments of quiet intimacy, and it turns into the most hopeful portrait of romantic love in the Cassavetes canon, complete with a sunny, uncharacteristically happy home movie ending. --Sean Axmaker

- Is this one of the best movies ever made????? YES!!!!!!!!!!!This is simply Cassavetes best movie. It's made with 'borrowed' equipment, what a joke on Hollywood indeed.
It's motto: Life is a hopeless chase with a pot of gold waiting for everyone. You just watch and make up your own mind. Yes, great art has something for everyone. Just pick, taste and learn...
And, as a true catholic, Cassavetes gives absolution to every character in this picture. Amen, indeed!
What a treasure this picture is.

- Beautiful Cult Classic Romantic Comedy!!!I love this movie! I wish it would be re-released on DVD because all I have now is the VHS version of it. It is SO MUCH better than the garbage hollywood shoves down our throats these days. It is a LOVE story, not a story about bodily functions which is about all hollywood can put out anymore. It is a story about two very different people falling head over heels for each other almost at first sight and the love they feel is so strong that it over powers all obstacles, all their differences. It's ... Read More

- Anyone know the song played at the end?Loved the movie...
The theater shut off the credits before I could learn what the name of the song was playing at the end of the film, during the celebration.
Does anyone know the name and who sings it?
Thanks.

- OkIt's often said by his boosters, that Cassavetes' films are about truth. Well, putting aside the manifest fallacy that any art can be `truth', even were one to accept that premise, this film is a walking, talking testament for the need of a little judicious fibbing, every so often, to up the art quotient. Yes, the realism of certain humorous scenes is way above the typical Hollywood screwball domestic comedies of earlier times, but Cassavetes ruins their power by never relenting, never letting a mature ...

- Minnie & MoskowitzFunny, quirky movie. Great performances by Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel. Captures the feel of 70s Los Angeles. You'll be glad you watched it.
