YMMV / Meet Joe Black

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Essentially the entire score due to it being composed by Thomas Newman, but especially the majestic piece "That Next Place".
  • Narm:
    • The scene near the beginning where Death's eventual vessel meets a girl in a coffee shop, then proceeds to stare back at her as he walks away... while standing in the middle of the street. At that point, you're expecting him to get hit by a car, and indeed he does. But the true hilarity comes from him being flung around by the impact and hitting another car or two.
      • Even the actors admitted to finding the scene hilarious and played it on a loop, laughing themselves silly.
    • Death really loves peanut butter.
    • Brad Pitt speaking Jamaican patois.
  • Padding: Detractors note the excess of it in this three-hour-long movie. Director Martin Brest believes that these people are really complaining about its pacing, which he finds to be a legitimate complaint.
  • The Woobie: Oh heck, everyone who's nice in this film needs a hug! Which they all get at the party, come to think of it.
    • But especially poor, poor Quince.
