Movie Reviews of Cactus Flower
Movie Review: Dirty married bachelor!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's just "rotten rotten rotten" what some dentists will do to keep from marrying a ditzy girlfriend. Julian (Walter Matthau) pretends to be married already so his truth loving girlfriend, Toni (Goldie Hawn) won't press him to marry her. When she attempts suicide, he realizes that he wants to marry her. Toni agrees only if she can meet the wife to prove that she is not a house/home wrecker. Julian comes up with a wife (Ingrid Bergman.) Toni can see that Julian's wife still loves him. Throw in the neighbor that only wares a towel, Igor Sullivan, Senor Sanchez (Vito Scotti,) a Mexican missile and a wild party. And that is where the fun begins.
Seems Like Old Times
Movie Review: Cactus Flower DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD was fine in terms of working well. In spite of its all-star cast, the movie was dull, nowhere near as funny and well acted as the current show off-Broadway in NYC. Walter Matthau was straightforward instead of his usual amusing curmogeon self. Goldie Hawn -- what was the big deal about her back then? Mainly she had very large eyes. And Ingrid Bergman -- great actress that she was -- had no comic ability at all; she was unfunny. All of the actors in the current off-Broadway were much better than their movie counterparts, and the show is (it's still running) totally hilarious and a pleasure to see -- I reviewed it at [...] I got the DVD after seeing the play just because the play was so much fun I wanted more! But no, the movie is a dud.Movie Review: Comedy of Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Walter Matthau is back and better than ever in this story of a bachelor dentist whose best laid plans to have his cake and eat it too are thoughly trounced by the crazy, mixed-up and downright kooky situations foisted upon him by his dizzy blonde mistriss, Tonie(Goldie Hawn).In attempting to string her along he maintains that he has a wife and children; then he learns that she has attempted suicide because of him and he promises to marry her; but, she will not marry him and be known as a home wrecker; she insists that she wants to meet his wife before proceeding with a marriage. The plot thickens, he asks his nurse, played by Ingrid Bergman, to act as his wife. This in turn leads to unforeseen twists and surprises for everyone.Movie Review: Very, very good comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
As other reviewers have said, Leonard Maltin is absolutely wrong about this film. The comedy is very tight and well timed. The dialogue is the wittiest of any movie I've seen from the era. It does tend a little toward one-liners, but it doesn't matter because it's fall-out-of-your-seat funny. Ingrid Bergman is divine in a role you would never have expected for her. The signs of the times are ubiquitous -- references to "the Pill," "hippies," "squares," etc., but the comedy is far from dated. The best aspect of the film is its unconventional plot. Romantic comedies are highly predictable as a class -- this one keeps you guessing. Puts even Neil Simon to shame. Highest recommendation.Movie Review: What is going on ???
Summary: 5 Stars
I am serious ! What is going on ? I look at myself now , and do not recognise the guy in the mirrow ... He likes baseball and football ( American football ), he eats hotdogs and humburgers ... Who is he ? Have no idea ... but the worse part - he loved this movie , and he fell in love with Ingrim Bergman for her unbeliavable performance in it . Forget Walter Matthau , forget Goldie Hawn - they allways good ! But the way ms. Bergman rediscover for us the story of love ... when you not 15 anymore ... she really touched my hart .
