Movie Reviews of Carried Away
Movie Review: carried away movie review
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie many years ago and loved it so much I just had to buy it. It is a timeless classic with Dennis Hopper as a middle aged man that is in love with a woman for six years, yet he cannot commit to marriage. In his weakest moment, he makes a mistake and has an affair with a high school student of his. This finely acted movie ( Amy Irving is wonderful, also) examines the male mid life crisis and sometimes the regret that comes with it. There is a beautiful, poignant nude scene at the end of the movie, that truly explains the frustration Dennis Hopper is going through. A must see, many times over!Movie Review: Recommended viewing

I expected this movie to be something I have already seen before. But what I got was something more and better than I had expected. Good performances by all involved.Movie Review: Carried Away
Summary: 4 Stars
I was carried away with this movie. Dennis Hopper and the rest of the cast were great.Movie Review: Crossing the line.
Summary: 3 Stars
Carried Away is ultimately a cinematic treatise on the dangers of crossing that line no man should ever cross, but a line that so many tiptoe upon either in reality or imagination. Dennis Hopper's character is an aging, bored teacher in a rural farm community. His life is predictable and the only question that still stirs within it is when he exactly intends on marrying his long-time girlfriend (Amy Irving). Things take a sudden change when a new student arrives in town, brining with her a willingness to seduce her teacher, if only to keep herself entertained while living in the new but overwhelmingly drab town. He, although sheepishly at first, falls prey to her advances and within a short period of time, finds his life is complete and total disarray. A solid film, but the gratuitous nudity was a bit forced.Movie Review: Not expected, but better than first glance
Summary: 3 Stars
This starts out as a very sleepy agrarian tale, but quickly gets kinky when Dennis Hopper launches an affair with a 17-year-old student. He sort of ditches his long time girlfriend, the rarely seen Amy Irving, and complications ensue. There's a kind of creepy side plot involving the cancer death of Hopper's old mom. Lots of full frontal nudity, including Hopper and Irving. She, the ex- of Stephen Speillberg, is now married to the director here. I laughed as Hopper, who must be at least 67, claims to be a 47-year-old teacher here, while Irving, who must be in her late 50s, exposes herself. It turns out better than expected, despite the ominous casting of the crazy Gary Busey as the dad of the gorgeous teen bedded by Hopper. Worth watching. Did this ever play in theaters?
