For me, this was a trite movie with boring performances from Vaughn, Polo and the boy actor, and predictable dialogue and plot. Though it was professionally competent (no shaking sets or major continuity errors), I would like to know where US$53 million went. Why on earth do you need US$53 million for a "suburban domestic" drama with a small cast and no special effects? Such cookie-cutter tales and "phoned in" acting were typical of the old black-and-white B-movies of the '40s and '50s made for maybe US$2 million (allowing for inflation).Hollywood needs to get a grip. Many a far superior film is made outside the US (and a even a few inside the US) for a tenth of that budget.For half hour this was quite watchable. Then Steve Buscemi left us and the movie went into a coma. I award an extra point for his short contribution, otherwise a 4.

Domestic Disturbance starring both John Travolta and Vince Vaughn was a good movie. that is my opening statement. Keep reading for the rest.It was nice. it had many good lines or comments, some were even funny and made me laugh. I laughed several times during this movie. It had great scenery and a great back-story plus a more than adequate script. They could have been a bit more creative instead of basing the movie on classic scenes from so many other movies, but ah well. So, in other words, it was worth watching. I liked it. Others may not have, but I did. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. Besides, it's like this with all movies and everything else in the world. Some like it and some don't. That is just the way it is in this world of ours.The acting was superb on some parts, others (thinking of Vince Vaughn)not so much. Travolta did a good job as he usually does. Mr. Vaughn had an easy role of which he could have done a much better job with (hell, a blind and deaf chimpanzee without any ability to speak could have done a better job), but all in all he did a good job. His character was convincing. And then there is Buscemi, playing Roy. He never lets me down. He is one of those who never do a bad job, not even a little! He is one of the greatest actors there is! So, obviously he did a great, fantastic, awesome and superb job playing his part as the shady yet nice character Roy Coleman.The start was great, the ending not so much, but nothing is perfect anyways. The movie itself was great with the turning points and the characters and everything. I enjoyed it, I did.This is a thriller, obviously. A thriller movie with a little comedy stuffed in it. It was thrilling at times. They could have made it more thrilling, but they didn't, and there is nothing to do about that. A big part of the movie were clichés. Some fit in and made it better, others did not. There were also parts that everyone could see coming, they were easy to foresee, but that doesn't make it bad, but it takes away a part of the thrill of the movie.So, this movie was enjoyable on a late spring night like this one. And after taking all of the things I said about the movie into consideration, I have decided to give this movie, "Domestic Disturbance", 4 stars out of 10 possible.Rating: 4/10.Thanks for reading, goodnight and sleep tight.J.J.

Ask yourself this, what if you witnessed a crime and no one believed you? Better yet, what if you were a kid when this happened? That is the premise of this modern day thriller, Domestic Disturbance. It isn't the perfect movie, but the story, while predictable, was still so much fun to watch. As for the cast, John Travolta and Vince Vaughn alone should tell you that you're in for something special. I know a lot of people love Vaughn, I don't, but he was great in this film. Matthew O'Leary, a newcomer back then, seemed as thou he's been doing this for years, acting as the perfect go between and playing his role flawlessly. Domestic Disturbance is fun, exciting, and has an unbelievable cast. Besides the predictability, the only other thing I can say negatively about this film was that it wasn't long enough! I really enjoyed it and didn't want it to end.

Having never been a real big John Travolta fan, I watched this just as a "filler"for the evening. I thought that John played a compelling role as the Dad of a struggling little boy. His acting was very believable to me. And for a change, I saw him as a "real" person. So often it seems that John has taken roles that, to me, have almost given him a comic persona. I really enjoyed watching him act with compassion and love displayed for his son, Danny,played very well by Matthew O'Leary. Although the script was somewhat predictable.It definitely more than kept my attention throughout. The actors were well cast for their roles. Vince Vaughn as the villain was perfect. As was Steve Buscemi,again perfectly type cast, as Vaughn's slimy ex-partner. I love that guy in any movie he appears in. Overall. Yeh. I give this movie more stars than average. I'd watch it again. Much better movie than I had anticipated.
