Movie Reviews of For Love of Ivy
Movie Review: Ivy and Jack
Summary: 5 Stars
I started collecting Sidney Poitier's movies about 10 years ago. That's how I first heard the name, Abbey Lincoln. I know her now as a jazz stylist and actress. I've watched "For Love of Ivy" again and again. Each time, I watch it as if I'm seeing it for the very first time. Sidney was really a bad mamma jamma in this movie. He knew when to speak up and out and he knew when to turn his brow up and offer the "look." Love that look Sidney - it speaks volumes! The pair - Ivy and Jack - have good chemistry even though they were from 2 different worlds. By the end of the movie, I was convinced that he genuinely cared for her. Jack was Ivy's knight-in-shining-armor and I know that if there were a sequel, Ivy would have been a success as a professional. I was on pins and needles - rooting for her to get herself into the city - just as she had planned. For a time, she seemed to weaken under the pressure. The movie is so-o-o-o-o funny to me. Sidney Poitier comes across so seriously in real life that it was refreshing to see him "unveiled." Uptown Saturday Night and Let's Do It Again are "must-sees," as well. He and Bill Cosby are hilarious!!! Check out Abbey Lincoln in "Nothing But a Man." Filmmakers don't make movies like these anymore.Movie Review: FOR LOVE OF IVY
Summary: 5 Stars
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. A REAL "CHICK FLICK", OR, FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T MIND A GOOD LOVE STORY! I LOVE SYDNEY POITIER AND ABBEY LINCOLN IN THIS FILM. HOWEVER, A MUCH YOUNGER BEAU BRIDGES REMINDS YOU OF WHAT A GREAT ACTOR HE IS, AND CARROLL O'CONNOR -- ALTHOUGH ONLY SEEN IN JUST A FEW SCENES -- FULLY COMMANDS HIS ROLE AS THE FATHER.
5 STARS WITHOUT A DOUBT!
Movie Review: Universal Classic Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw Coming To America, I was so happy to finally see an African American romance. I was thinking 'Wow!! Wish we had more of those'... until I stumbled upon For the Love of Ivy. What an excellent love story. I wonder what other beautiful African American romances are out there yet to be re-discovered?Movie Review: Lovin' It!

I First Saw This Movie 5yrs. Ago, I Had Rented It And I Loved The Movie So Much, I Had To Have My Own, I Had Always Heard Of Amazon, But Was Reluctant To Use Them. So I Gave Them A Try And This Movie Was One Of My Many Purchasesn I Rate This Movie 5 Stars Because I'm A Sidney Poitier Fan!Movie Review: "A Commanding Performance"
Summary: 5 Stars
Sidney Poitier is absolutely wonderful in this movie. I especially loved the end because he turns over a new leaf! This shows he didn't really like his night job at all, and that a good woman can help a good man see his true potential for better things. I really enjoyed watching it.
