Movie Review: It's About Time... Good Comedy From The 70's On DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the few movies I can say I was waiting for to arrive on DVD. Yes, its campy corny, and predictable, but it has something for me at least that a lot of movies dont; it just makes you feel good and have a good time watching it.Bill Cosby and Sidney Potier had great chemistry together in all three of their films. Uptown Saturday Night was more critically acclaimed, but this film is just more fun.
The Characters names are still unforgetable: 40th Street Black, Bootney Farnsworth, Kansas City Mack, Jody Tibbs and of course Bill as Mongo Slade. Great Stuff.
The Soundtrack with the Staple Singers still makes you move even though the songs are about 30 years old; the mark of hitting the bullseye musically. One thing that must be mentioned is the mostly black cast for a film of this kind was not the norm back when this film was made and the actors in the film all were either stars in their own right, or would be stars later.
Best scene in the movie without giving too much away for those who have not watched it: the final boxing scene and the aftermath; just plain funny.
Anyway, go out and get this DVD. You will be sure to enjoy it. The whole family can watch it also as I can't recall hearing any foul language.
Highly recommended
Movie Review: A GREAT BUY!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a great buy and a hard movie to find but I found it at Amazon.The picture was perfect and the movie was great.Movie Review: A pleasant evening on the couch
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a pleasant light comedy from the 70's.
Sidney Poitier as a milkman-hypnotist plays a relaxed straight role, with his sidekick, the refreshing Bill Cosby...they make a good team, and complement each other's characters perfectly.
Jimmie Walker as the gormless "Bootney Farnsworth" provides a reasonable number of laughs.
This is not a laugh-out-loud comedy, but a gentler, happier format...mild pleasant humour, of a feel-good escapist variety.
A good buy for fans of the irrepressible Bill Cosby.
