Movie Reviews of Bedtime Story [Region 2]
Movie Review: Please movie studio, reissue this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, very unfortunately, is out of print. The only "brand new" DVD version of it that you can get is from some outfit out of England that made a pretty crappy copy of it, according to the reviews I read on Amazon UK. And by the way you can buy that version of it cheaper on that website.
This is a very special movie to me. I first saw it when I was at home, sick with a horrible sore throat, and it made me forget all my pain as I laughed all the way through. Then I rented it again a few years later to watch with a guy that I had started dating, kind of to test his sense of humor. We both laughed so hard that we cried. And you know, I think this movie cast some magic between us that day because we're still together, years and years later.
It's a great, funny, clever, and sometimes silly, movie. I don't know why it has been panned by the critics in the past, perhaps they weren't used to seeing Marlon Brando in a comic role. Both Marlon Brando and David Niven are hilarious in this film and their chemistry is genius. You can see that they are both having a great time making this movie. I read in Marlon Brando's biography that he had to step out of the room many times while filming because he was laughing so hard. And sometimes when I watch it I think I can hear him in the backround laughing.
But I can't just take it down from my private collection and watch it, I have to go to the only video store that I know that carries it, miles away, rent it, and then watch it. Why? Why are so many Marlon Brando movies out of print? One of the greatest American actors -- and a good portion of his films are out of print? It makes me think that the industry is trying to punish him for his rebellious ways - could it really be that ridiculous?
Anyways, this is turning into more of a blog than a review. All I have left to say is REPRINT THIS MOVIE!!
