Noted screenwriter Richard LaGravenese made his directorial debut with this dramatic comedy about two unlikely people who find each other while looking for love. Judith Nelson (Holly Hunter) is suddenly single after discovering her husband of fifteen years, a successful doctor (Martin Donovan), has been having an affair with a younger woman. Judith stews, plans, plots and fantasizes, but she can't decide what to do with her life until she goes out to a night club to see singer Liz Bailey (Queen Latifah), who is full of advice on life and love. While out on the town, Judith is suddenly kissed by a total stranger, which opens her eyes to new possibilities ... which is when she notices Pat (Danny De Vito), the elevator operator in her building. Pat's life is in even worse shape than Judith's; his wife has thrown him out for gambling, he's in debt to loan sharks, he's sleeping on the couch of his more successful brother, and his daughter is dying. At first Pat borrows money from Judith, but when the two start talking, they realize they have more in common than they imagined. LaGravenese based his screenplay on a pair of short stories by Anton Chekhov. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    For this movie, I believe you need to relate to the main character's need to live again. The main character Judith, after her husband leaves her, is learning what it means to live - truly live outside of her ex-husband's domain. She's finding out her desires. I thought the movie was amazing. Even though I'm only 29, I could relate to it.

    This has become one of my all time favorite movies. This is Danny DeVito's finest role in my opinion (NEXT to his lead in Jack the Bear). Holly Hunter was amazing - and her big dance number towards the end is just amazing! This movie grabs you by the heart and tugs hard. Life as it is ..is demonstated beautifully in Living Out Loud. Watch and Enjoy.

    The movie was odd but I got the message. Holly's blonde hair was distracting but she's such a great actress, I did my best to ignore it. This movie is good for those who are lost or stuck in suffocating relationships. Still not sure if Queen Latifah actually sang or lip sank but Danny DeVito did sing and it was cute. Actually, Danny was the best part of this flick.
