Customer Rating:      Summary: Ron's review of "Nobody's Fool." Comment: Paul Newman has given a score of memorable performances in his long career. His performance as a disillusioned lawyer in "The Verdict" has to rank as one of his best. Very close to that is his performance in "Nobody's Fool." Newman plays a down on his luck handy man in a small town. Initially he appears to be a failure bearly making a living but as the movie unfolds we find that he is a pillar of strength for virtually all who he come in contact with. He makes their lives better and he does it so smoothly hardly anyone notices his efforts. Eventually a son who has disliked and avoided Newman comes to see him for the good person that he is. In a scene where Newman has to spend some time in jail for punching a deputy his son says, "You know, it's not easy being you!" Newman's response is classic: "Don't worry about it. I wasn't very good at it when I started out, either." This is a small movie with a big heart and wit. If you are looking for a movie with blood, bullets, and bodies, forget this movie. If you want to come away with a warm feeling, a smile on your lips, and thoughts about the relationships in your life, I heartily reccommend "Nobody's Fool."
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Loser Wins Comment: A charming small town handyman with a star cast won my heart. Sully (Paul Newman) is surrounded by good friends and an adversary (Bruce Willis) who he steals his snowblower from creates comedy and warm feelings. Watched the film 3 times and still love the interaction between the cast.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Nobody's Fool...Great Christmas Movie Comment: Never seen Fat Man & Little Boy, but the movie Nobody's Fool is worth the price alone. It makes a great holiday movie for your collection and Jessica Tandy is great along with Bruce Willis.
A few months back I wanted to purchase Nobody's Fool and it was out of production...I almost bought the movie for $50.00 on DVD. Good thing I waited.
