Gerard M @GermWald Aug 26, 2024 Phoebe Cates is enough to warn me off this pretentious, trivial nonsense. UGH See more Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 19, 2023 There isn't a lot too it but Cates is a blast and it is entertaining. See more Dec 2, 2021 This is quite possibly the worst movie of all time. See more Feb 25, 2016 This is just a wonderful flight of imagination and fun. Kevin Kline, Phoebe Cates, John Lithgow, Wendy Hughes all at their best. Amazing See more Sep 25, 2013 An OK movie, easy to see how it fell through the cracks. There are funny moments, but I wouldn't call it a comedy, and it's too lighthearted to be considered a drama. Still, Phoebe Cates gives an admirable-enough performance, committing through most of the movie to the Caraboo persona, that is when she talks. More focus is paid to the supporting cast's bewilderment than to her actual experience as Caraboo. To that end, Jim Broadbent, Wendy Hughes, Kevin Kline & John Lithgow are amusing in how they're affected by Caraboo's presence. Kline, as always, is funny with that whipcrack delivery of his. He was underused though, and maybe mis-cast as the Greek butler. I did like Stephen Rea's performance as he transitions from journalist sniffing out an interesting story to a growing affection for this woman. It's an amusing movie, but not a particularly memorable standout in the crowd of lighthearted '90s movies. See more Jul 17, 2013 This story if funny, and one of the last performances of Phoebe Cates. Loved it! See more Read all reviews
