Movie Reviews of Kiss Me Goodbye
Movie Review: good example of an ill-humored comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie will appeal to all those who like "wickedly funny" comedies and to those who have been hit by a divorce that was not of their choosing or by the breakup of a relationship that was against their will and have had to watch their ex-spouse or their ex-lover find somebody new and become happy again. This movie sticks it to the new guy in every possible way, including portraying him as a stiff, dull nerd. What a neat revenge!
To all others, this movie is a waste of time and money.
Movie Review: Premise sounds promising, but the film doesn't deliver.
Summary: 2 Stars
This could have been a wonderful comedic farce, with repartee similar to that found in classics such as Bringing Up Baby. However, it's like two movies. The first 45 minutes or hour are long and boring, repeating issues (over and over again) between characters who aren't at all likable and who make you wonder why you're supposed to care about them. Ironically, I found myself caring very much about the character played by Jeff Bridges, who inexplicably is made out to be a monster by everyone else.
Finally the film picks up. When it does, it's very funny in spots. However, one is still left wondering why the heck Bridges would want to marry the character of Sally Fields, whose stupidity and flightiness are overshadowed only by the self-centeredness of James Caan, who plays her two-timing (dead) husband. If you have time to waste, rent it, with a ready finger for the fast-forward button. Otherwise, there are many films that are a better choice. To see ghosts in a genuinely humorous and heart-warming flick, see Heart & Soul. In a similar vein, I'd also recommend Chances Are.
Movie Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
Despite the presence of an "all-star" cast, this film was flat. Advertised as a romantic comedy, it was difficult to find either. There simply was no chemistry. While the premise was interesting, it never panned out. The most enjoyable aspects of the film were the set (loved the house) and a scene between the dog and a former priest. That's not saying a lot!
