'terrific comic performances by all three stars (Glamour)John Lithgow, Teri Garr and Randy Quaidhighlight this devious black comedy about a scorned wife's attempt to get away with murder. Very funny (Los Angeles) and deliciously underplayed (The New York Times), Out Cold will leave you laughing out loud for days! Unlucky in love. Unluckier in murder. Sunny Cannald (Garr) is a dissatisfied wife who schemes to get rid of her cheating husband one way or another. First, she hires a P.I. (Quaid) to dig up the dirt on him. Then, she discovers a way to puthim on ice and frame an innocent man (Lithgow) for the crime! Can she pull it off? Undoubtedly shemight if not for the determined P.I. who won't stop snooping!

Not in the original Widescreen format.
It's a funny film if you enjoy black comedy (which I do), and the cast is fine. Not a great film, but a good one. Hence the deduction of a star.BUT ... and it's a big "but" ... it's presented in the awful "Pan and Scan" format, so I'm missing about 2/5ths of the film image. Apparently it doesn't exist on video in its full widescreen aspect ratio. For that, I deduct another star.What a pity!

Teri Garr and John Lithgow shine in indie comedy
Excellent black comedy with the always hilarious and top notch Teri Garr and John Lithgow. A true gem late 1980s indie comedy.

A Sleeper
This film is a real sleeper! I doubt that it received much publicity at the time it came out, but it is a great story with John Lithgow and Teri Garr. It has been described as a black comedy with some romance that is very underplayed by the various characters. It was filmed in San Pedro, CA, and it is a pleasure to recognize some of the locations. Bruce McGill and Randy Quaid contribute to the small cast. The story moves along quite nicely and holds your attention throughout.

the DVD quality is not the best, but the story is really great
Ok, the DVD quality is not the best, but the story is really great. Some nice twist and turns. It is hard to find a "comedy" that has a real story line. I will watch this over and over again. You will see things you missed the first time around.

One for the trash can!
15 minutes into the movie I turned it off, took it out of the player and threw it away..... High School film class quality. Poor story line. Overall, raunchy movie which was truly a waste of money!

Cute Film
This is an enjoyable farce to watch especially if you have some time to kill. The interaction between the characters is nice.
