Movie Reviews of Grosse Pointe - The Complete Series
Movie Review: grosse point - great great & great
Summary: 5 Stars
If you didn't get a chance to watch the aired original (and you like the genre - a teen soap having a huge dig at itself) then do yourself a big favour and get your hands on the complete series now that is available.
Every role is well postioned and excellently acted with top verbal humour, magnificent facial expressions (hunter is a hoot), and a good old "will they - wont they romance" playing out deliciously.
Sure the series ended abruptly, but it don't matter really. Write your own series 2 in your head if you need to, but re-watching the full series 1 over and over is a constant chuckle, roar and side-split.
You won't be dissapointed.
Summary of Grosse Pointe - The Complete Series
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 02/13/2007 Run time: 416 minutesLike Fox's Action, Grosse Pointe is a single-camera, behind-the-scenes comedy that didn't get the chance to find the audience it deserved. With the success of HBO's Entourage a few years later, it's possible that the timing was simply off as this devilishly entertaining melodrama should've been a hit with fans of Darren Star's Beverly Hills 90210 and Sex and the City. It's essentially a spot-on satire of the former, as well as the actors who made it into a cultural touchstone in the 1990s. Created by Star, the show-within-a-show played the game while breaking the rules. In other words, the five attractive leads, all actors on high school soap Grosse Pointe, aren't exactly model citizens (and the occasional in-jokes at the WB's expense can't have won Star many points with the network brass). There's dumb stud Johnny (ex-model Al Santos), terminally insecure Marcy (Lindsay Sloane, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch), fresh-faced Courtney (Bonnie Somerville, NYPD Blue), scheming Hunter (Irene Molloy, Andy Richter Controls the Universe), and 30-year-old teen Quentin (Kohl Sudduth channeling Luke Perry).
Plot developments include a shoplifting arrest for Hunter ("Thieves Like Us"), opportunistic boyfriend for Marcy ("Halloween"), gay fan for Johnny ("Boys on the Side"), and Japanese beer commercial for Courtney ("Star Wars" with George Takei). Short run aside, Grosse Pointe attracted name directors, like Jake Kasdan, Peyton Reed, Allison Anders, and 90210 alum Jason Priestley, who plays himself. In addition, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh composed the jazzy score. Recurring characters include writer/producers Rob (William Ragsdale) and Hope (Joely Fisher) and perennial second bananas, Dave the Stand-In (Kyle Howard) and Kevin the PA (Nat Faxon). This two-disc set includes an interview with Star, plus commentary on four episodes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
