i love this movie, i could watch this movie over and over. great story line, and great actorsMovie Review: Gets Better With Time
Summary: 4 Stars
The first time I saw this film was when it came out in 1986, and at the time I was terribly disappointed. Didn't like the film at all, thought it was amateurish and pretentious. But then I watched it recently on DVD, and realized that it was a really good film - performances were all really good, I liked seeing the DC scenery, and the directing by Mike Nichols was wonderfully subtle.
Despite the fact that both Nicholson and Streep can sometimes be overpowering, and that Nicholson did get a bit hammy at times in this (I still can't abide the scene where he sings), I found both of their performances to be deep and nuanced. The co-stars were good too, added a lot, and I especially enjoy Catherine O'Hara's portrayal of a gossip. Carly Simon's singing really does set the tone well for this movie, which is definitely worth watching. And if you don't like it the first time, watch it again in a year or two, and I'll bet you'll re-appraise it more positively.
Movie Review: Much Better Than I Expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I avoided this movie when it was released because I couldn't imagine that a film based on the marital breakup of Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein would interest me. Although I am an admirer of both these folks for their talents as writers, I had always agreed with Richard Burton when he said, when asked if he would be writing about his marriage and breakup with Elizabeth Taylor, that even though love might be dead, that it wasn't for sale. Be that as it may, this movie is certainly worth seeing. Although the plot is a little thin, there are some very funny moments. (Whether some of the events actually happened in the Bernstein/Ephron saga doesn't matter.) Any film directed by Mike Nichols, starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, with cinematography by Nestor Amendros is well worth seeing.
Both Ms. Ephron and the viewer have the last laugh.
Movie Review: Great book, good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the book when it first was published, and it was great, but I just watched the movie yesterday and did enjoy it, just not as much as the book. Ephron is a clever writer in any medium. Streep did a wonderful job and it was so good to see her as such a "young" age. Nicholson has not changed all that much.
It was a story that the talented cast and writers managed to imbue with some humor and a lot of pathos. Some scenes were too heavy handed, like the one before the wedding when Rachel was in the bedroom agonizing (the scene seemed to go on FOREVER). I did not see much of a spark between Streep and Nicholson...that casting could have been better.
But overall, it was worth watching.
