 | | Grosse Pointe Blank is an amiable fl comedy, cowritten by Cusack and directed by Jonathan Demme protégé George Armitage (Miami Blues), has the feel of Demme's Something Wild and Married to the Mob--which is to say its humour is dark and brightly coloured at the same time. |
 | | The story is framed around Blank's disappearance on prom night ten years previous and his sudden and unexpected return on the eve of his ten-year class reunion at Grosse Pointe (Michigan) High School. |
 | | From the word go this is simply excellent, the performances of every member of the cast are spot on (especially a wonderful turn from John’s sister Joan as his PA), the writing going from witty dialogue to pitch dark humour is splendid. |
