Movie Reviews of Born Yesterday
Movie Review: Born Yesterday
Summary: 5 Stars
Really cute. Thought that it was a nice message for young women. Don't let others define you.Movie Review: Love this Remake of Born Yesterday
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this DVD to replace the VCR tape I have of this show. I have always enjoyed movies with Melanie Griffith, if you liked the movie "Milk Money", you will like this show.
The movie is a great romantic comedy that says a lot about how a little knowledge can go a long way. Maybe if more people saw it, they could see the value of an education a little more. Also how a teacher can make learning something fun, almost like a game. One of my favorite parts of the entire movie is the scene where she is at a dinner party and the conversation turns to politics and something regarding the Amendments to the Constitution. Billie (Melanie) corrects the person and tells them that the amendment was a different number than the one they said. Then her explaination of how she remembers the amendments to the tune of "The 12 Days of Christmas" is great. She is using one of the great tools of learning something that you need to remember. Teachers could make learning more fun using these kinds of tricks.
Movies like this can give education a better name and make it seem more worthwhile, it can change a person's view of themselves, especially women, to help them develop confidence, self respect, and the realization of their self worth and help them see that it could be part of the answer to helping them get out of abusive relationships.
Loved the rest of the cast...John Goodman plays the part of the abusive, domineering male with gusto and of course Don Johnson is a perfect contrast to Goodman. At the time this movie was made...Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith were married. They made a great looking couple on and off screen.
Movie Review: VERY WATCHABLE DESPITE THE AIRHEAD BLONDE CLICHE..
Summary: 4 Stars
It's difficult for me to tell which group this light film satirizes more: bimbo blondes (our protagonist blonde miraculously amasses sparkling intellect through avid reading of a dictionary and the Constitution) or boorish politicians. Because the new film can't really tell audiences anything about the idiocy of politics that they don't already know, I'd say Born Yesterday is principally about the blonde's enlightenment and her humiliation of her pompous politician husband.
Overall it is a fairly inoffensive that lesirely goes about its comic business. I've seen it a couple of times and finished it on both occasions. And it's in colour (to counter-argue the whole Original vs New debate that other reviewers seem to be fascinated with).
Recommended rental for sure.
Movie Review: So it's a remake!?!
Summary: 4 Stars
Who cares? If I want to watch the original and I feel that strongly about it, then that's what I'll do - stick to the original. In this case, I enjoyed this particular remake very much. It's not the original, no, but it's pure entertainment. I found it to be fresh and engaging. If you only wanna see the original, then skip the remake, but if you're willing to open your mind to a new script with some different actors, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the escapism.Movie Review: Melanie Griffith/Don Johnson = Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
This 1993 remake of the 1950 film "Born Yesterday" is full of mediocre acting and a contrived plot but the charm of Melanie's character and the chemistry with Don Johnson make it a fun bit of fluff you'll find yourself watching over and over.
