Jealousy

About This Movie

So, 'Jealousy' is this quirky 1993 comedy that threads that fine line between absurdity and reality. John Pettigrew's attempt to deal with his overwhelming jealousy, thanks to a hypnosis tape, really sets the tone. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it adds to the chaotic vibe of John's spiraling paranoia, especially when he thinks his wife Jane is off with some hunky water aerobics instructor. The twist with the diary leads him into a wild night at a transvestite club, which is where the movie really becomes something else. It’s got that low-budget charm, and the practical effects are minimal, but the performances carry it. It’s distinct in its mix of comedy and cringe, wrapped in that early '90s aesthetic.
