Movie Reviews of Defending Your Life
Movie Review: "Say, did ya eat breakfast yet?!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Defending Your Life is Albert Brook's masterpiece. The acting, directing, and production values are first rate. Actor Rip Torn deserves special mention--he gives an engaging and funny performance as an eternally optimistic lawyer. The movie also drives home an important message: the key to advancement in life is to not allow fear to hold you back.
It's easier to take the path of least resistance and risk, which can lead to a life of complacency. I am guilty of that. Defending Your Life serves as a (humorous!) reminder to move forward and face your challenges with courage and dignity.
Movie Review: A Funny and Sweet Story of Life, Love, Death and Everything in Between
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has always been one of my favorites for many reasons - - it makes you think, it's quirky, it's a love story, and it stars my two favorite actors - Albert Brooks & Meryl Streep. These two make an excellent combination with Albert Brooks' sense of humor and Meryl Streep's undeniable charm and likability. The supporting cast adds just the right amount of humor and seriousness.
The movie is well-made, holds your attention, and makes a great escape from the mundane. I highly recommend this for practically any age group (except the very young).
Movie Review: A Wonderful Film On Any Plane Of Existence
Summary: 5 Stars
You might delight in this movie too! This is one of my favorite movies, top ten of all time. Every time I feel a little blue, I think of this movie and feel better. When I feel a little lost in the grand scheme of the Universe, I watch this movie. Each and every time I watch it, I laugh and feel good about being alive. I also feel less fearful about death after watching the film.
You might want to give it a try. I'm glad I did. You might live a little better today and die a little happier tomorrow.
Movie Review: One of My Favorite Movies!
Summary: 5 Stars
Daniel Miller is a yuppie in his mid 30s. He dies in a car accident and is immediately transported to Judgment City, where he must defend his life and show that he has overcome his fears. The really smart people have conquered the fears and have more forward.
Albert Brooks is brilliant as Daniel Miller, and Rip Torn is hilarious as Daniel's attorney.
The theology of the film conflicts with my own, but I find the movie so entertaining and funny that I enjoy it as it is. Thumbs up!
Movie Review: Face your fear and BUY THIS MOVIE!!
Summary: 5 Stars
In between the great laughs, this wonderfully sweet romantic fantasy will give you lots to think about. Albert Brooks is superb as the newly arrived citizen of Judgement City, forced to view his worst mistakes in life on a video screen. Will he be able to confront his fatal flaw? Will his final demonstration of bravery win the hand of the love-of-his-afterlife? This DVD is a "must have" for your collection. It's worth watching again and again!
