There are some smiles in this comedy about a woman trying to find love but too many flaws to get past. This is trying too hard to be Bridesmaids and and The Hangover, but never coming close. The cast is actually pretty good but the laughs are cheap and predictable and that is the biggest issue. This one is not original or that funny.
Summary: Doesn't Hit The Mark
This movie is very funny and among Blake Edwards' best films. The biggest misconception about this movie is that it stars Bo Derek. Bo is stunningly beautiful and essential to the movie, however, she is a vehicle and not the star. This is Dudley Moore at his finest. You see the seeds for Moore's Arthur character in this movie, but he is much more cerebral here. This movie is ahead of its time as it looks at a man's mid life crisis and search for love as he tries to balance his safe relationship with Julie Andrews and his desire for sexual excitement. There are some very funny moments and Moore is comedically brilliant and very poignant in this role. The music and clothes are dated, but the story is not. The sexual boundaries of the day are pushed here and proposed to Andrews for her bold decisions in this one. Cornrolls and Bolera became household necessities as a result of the impact of this one. This movie made Derek an icon, but this film is much more. See it!
This is fun for what it is. A simple, low budget Western centered on a gunslinger's contest to see who is the best shot in the west. Weaved through this is the story of Sharon Stone, a female gunslinger looking to avenge her father's death. Sam Raimi is always fun to watch and his visuals are distinct. The cast is the strength. gene Hackman can do almost anything and be interesting. A Young Leo DiCaprio is fun to watch. Russell Crowe is young and good in this plus an entire recognizable cast of character actors hamming it up but who all seem in on the act. Gene Hackman is very good. If you are a big Western junkie add a 1/2 star.
Very good installment of this installment of Marvel films. Benedict Cumberbatch is DR Strange. He embodies the character so well. Can't say much without spoilers but a lot of surprises from early on. Not too long and no prior knowledge of the series needed. Great special effects.
This is a unique low budget film about a series of full moon murders in a small town. Are they caused by man or monster? Robert Foster is the sickly Sheriff. The movie has some light hearted moments and some thrills. The central character, the Sheriff's son, is completely unlikeable but that appears to be by design. The supporting cast is good. It is a little Twin Peaks and a little Picket Fences. Well filmed.
