Movie Reviews of Corrina, Corrina
Movie Review: A tender, sweet and funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I missed seeing this movie when it hit the theatre but caught bits and pieces of it on TV years later - and fell in love with it. I rented it twice and finally bought it. Not having grown up in a part of the country where racism was obvious, the interracial relationships that develop in the movie were interesting to watch. When you see little Molly's simple adoration of Corrina - if adoration can be defined as simple -it gives me hope that maybe one day people will look past the color of one's skin before they make a judgement call. Perhaps the most moving moment in the movie - and there are several - was the ending when Manny Singer, a self-confessed athiest lifts his eyes to heaven and asks God for help. What can I say except that this movie is very special and definitely worth watching many times.Movie Review: Corrina, Corrina
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very heartwarming story that is perfect to own because you'll want to watch it again and again. It really showcases Whoppi Golberg. She's a great talent and has surprizing range as an actress. All the actors do a wonderful job in this film about a recently widowed father trying find a nanny for his troubled daughter. After many disasterous tries in comes Corrina (Whoppi) into their lives. Her original objective is to remain removed from the family, but falls for them both. As she helps the girl deal with her sorrow she also help the father. Along the way they fall in love. Director Jessie Nelson based this film on the true story of her and her husband of 40 odd years. The fact that they get married isn't clear in the movie.
Rent it or catch it on TV you'l really enjoy it.
Movie Review: One of the best films ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
Corrina, Corrina is a brave movie, exploring a topic that few dare to touch. It would be all too easy for Corrina to be the comedian who makes everyone cheer up just to disappear into the background, as many African-American "maid" characters end up doing. Instead, she becomes the love interest, the ultimate female character, who has her own dreams, problems, complexities, and validity. I have loved this movie since I was a child, and recently watched it again to find that I still love it. It is extremely well-written, clever, and sad--yet hysterical, and it challenges all stereotypes, racial, temporal, and sexual, in a way that is extremely rare. Everyone should see it.Movie Review: one of my top 5!!!

I can't really explain how much I love this movie. I bought it years ago on vhs, and thought it was time I upgraded to dvd. Kids as well as grown ups can enjoy Corrina, Corrina. There is no bad language or nudity. It is just a very nice quiet touching movie with some laughs. Who would have ever thought to pair up Whoopi Goldberg with Ray Liotta? They have so much chemistry. He must be a very good actor, because he was totally convincing as a nice quiet widower and father. Usually he plays a tough guy or some kind of psycho. Whoopi is her usual fabulous self. If you like romance, humor, great acting and an excellent oldies soundtrack see this movie.Movie Review: Nooooo, we simply can't my darling, we simply can't.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my very favorite films. When young Molly Singer's mother dies, her father has to find someone to look after her while she's at work. So he hires Corrina Washington. (Whoppi Goldberg) At the start of the movie, Molly couldn't talk much because she was too upset about her mother's death. But Corrina taught her how to communicate. Some parts were funny like when Molly spat milk in her Aunt's face, some parts were sad like when the grandfather died, but I really did get a laugh about the part when Molly wanted to go swimming in the pool and Corrina said "Nooo, we simply can't my darling, we simply can't.
