Movie Reviews of Lovely and Amazing
Movie Review: One reason to watch it: Brenda Blethyn
Summary: 3 Stars
Brenda Blethyn is in this movie. She's one of my favorite actresses and has been since `Secrets and Lies'. Here she's, are you ready for it, quirky! And has two quirky adult daughters and adopted a third daughter who might out do them all in the quirky department. These people are sad but it's hard not to like them. I didn't understand the inclusion of pedophilia in such a comic movie. It barely works in serious movies as `Little Children' and `Notes on Scandal'. The light treatment of it bothered me. By the end there did seem to be some emotional growth for all the characters as they rushed off to get mom from the hospital where she'd undergone liposuction. Sheesh. It's not a bad movie but it's hard to understand why it was made. Even the title highlights some of the frothy dialog.
Summary of Lovely and Amazing
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/25/2004 Run time: 91 minutes Rating: RI didn't want this movie to end. Lovely & Amazing centers around two sisters--Michelle (Catherine Keener), a would-be artist, and Elizabeth (Emily Mortimer), a fledgling actress. Both are grappling with their mother's (Brenda Blethyn) going in for liposuction, the erratic behavior of their adopted sister (Raven Goodwin), and the flounderings of their love lives. Because her husband is having an affair, Michelle has a fling with a 17-year-old (Jake Gyllenhaal); meanwhile, Elizabeth breaks up with her sincere boyfriend (James LeGros) and falls into bed with a glib movie star (Dermot Mulroney). But no plot description will capture the exquisite pleasures of this movie; Lovely and Amazing is a superb kaleidoscope of moments, each new fragment shifting the whole into a new delightful pattern. The entire cast is outstanding; the script and direction of Nicole Holofcener (Walking and Talking) are subtle, funny, and sharply observed. --Bret Fetzer
