Movie Reviews of Corrina, Corrina
Movie Review: A wonderful film for the whole family...
Summary: 4 Stars
What makes this such a memorable film is the wonderful chemistry of the entire cast, whether it's Whoopi and Tina or Tina and Liotta or whomever whenever, everyone meshes so well with one another they are all 100% believable. The story follows Manny (Liotta, who actually does a wonderful job here, and I don't normally like him), a widower raising his young daughter Molly (Majorino) who rightfully so is depressed over her mothers death. Manny hires Corrina (Goldberg) to take care of Molly while he's away at work. What he never expected was to fall in love with her in the process. The fact that Corrina is African American never even feels like a problem or concern to either Corrina or Manny, and especially not to Molly who has become smitten with Corrina and is pushing their relationship, but their family has many concerns. Corrina's own sister and Manny's parents are both apposed but ultimately it's a decision that only Manny and Corrina can make. A very sweet and heartwarming film indeed with a steller performance by Whoopi!Movie Review: Ray Liotta is hot in this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked this movie because of the relationship between Ray Liotta and Whoopi Goldberg's charactors. I thought the movie itself was a bit slow at times and had some sceens that didn't quit mess with the flow of the movie (such as when the small girl says she is a "Ni##er lover" but it is not clear where she would have learned this phrase). The issue of race is only scratched, which makes this movie more of a love story than a social commentary, so it's not too heavy. I wish though that it had been about 5 minutes longer so that we learned more about what direction their relationship would ultimatly take.Movie Review: A really feel good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I really love this movie. There have been other movies about interracial relationships (between a Black Woman and White Man) however they are not as geniune as Corrina, Corrina. The chemistry between the actors who portray Corrina, Manny and Molly is amazing. I agree that there are some funny and heartbreaking moments in this movie. It is very entertaining and uplifting. This films really affirms that love is blind and that people aren't born to be prejudiced, prejudice is learned. Molly did not see Corrina's color nor that of her new playmates.
Movie Review: fun for the whole family.
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this film so funny and entertaining, i liked the fact that it delved into serious subjects in a light way, rather than making the whole story about racism, interracial relations, or death. it concentrated more on the relationship between the three main characters, making it a family film instead of another drama with unhappy endings.Movie Review: Ahead of It's Time!
Summary: 4 Stars
Not only is the story great. But look closely and the underlying themes
(black women housekeeping in white neighborhoods for one) really make it a fine
watch. Ray Liotta gives one of his best performances. I'm not a big Whoopi Goldberg fan,
but she is very convincing in her part. Very enjoyable!
