"Faithful" directed by Paul Mazurski doesn't add anything to his otherwise prestigious resume. As a comedy director, Mr. Mazurski has done better. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have been inspired, by the story or by his cast.In fact, one of... Full review

"Faithful" is a worth-watching film, somewhere between comedy and drama, but not tragicomedy. It stars Cher as a rich but rejected wife who wants to take her life on her 20th anniversary. But then a hitman hired by her husband... Full review

It's a shame she doesn't do film more, as she's one of the few singers turned actors that are worth paying your movie dollar to see.
The biggest impact I got from watching Faithful is that I had forgotten how good of an actress Cher can be.

Palminteri may have wanted "Faithful" to be a woman's story, and for women indulging revenge fantasies about their philandering husbands, the movie has its dark pleasures.
There are funny moments, or at least, funny setups.

At times, Faithful is amusing....directed by Paul Mazursky ( Down and Out in Beverly Hills ), unfolds like a three-act theatrical piece:....he gets all the best lines.....Ryan O'Neal is adequate as the philandering husband....More importantly, the unique perspectives created by the unusual situation allow the film to offer insight into the issues of fidelity, love, and marriage..... ...

And Palminteri does have an ear for good comedic dialogue.
She's good, and her co-stars Chazz Palminteri (who also wrote the script, adapting his own play) and Ryan O'Neal both deliver fine performances.
