Movie Reviews of Ready to Wear
Movie Review: IT'S FUN
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS CAN NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. IT IS JUST A FUN MOVIE. FRIENDS OF MINE WANTED TO SEE CHER IN IT, SHE HAD AT MOST A 15 SECOND CAMEO.
I ENJOYED THE CLOSING SONG. IT'S VERY...VERY...?
Movie Review: all wrapped up in ribbons and ready to forget
Summary: 3 Stars
One common complaint of this film is that it has no focus and we wind up with something that is blurry even if it is trying to take a snapshot of something. It is like a collage of plots, stories, and fashion into one big piece of artwork. This is not to say that it can't be entertaining of course. People's tastes do differ. Not everybody likes modern art. Some people like something more traditional. I guess the highlight of the film would be the end sequence where you get to see the bevy of models that, like the story, has no clothes. And if you like looking at big bellies of a pregnant woman than this may be a film for you. It is what is on the inside that counts after all, not the superficial outside.Movie Review: Amusing and confusing
Summary: 3 Stars
When Robert Altman decides to parody, he doesn't do anything half way. Considering that the fashion industry is all about labels, the all-star cast is very appropriate, including: Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Lauren Bacall, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Linda Hunt, and Lyle Lovett.
The story's parallel to the confusion prevalent in huge expositions, such as fashion shows, etc. We have murder, nudity, sex, and gossip--all the tender morsels the news feeds on. If you're a fashionista or someone who loves poking fun at the world of design, you're probably going to love this film.

Movie Review: Not What I hoped for.
Summary: 3 Stars
I really had hoped this movie would be better. There really wasn't too much of a plot. There certainly are cute elements.As always Tim Robbins and Julia Roberts were adorable. Otherwise
I can't really say a whole lot for the movie--Sorry:(
Movie Review: Lengthy, Pretentious Mess
Summary: 2 Stars
Robert Altman's indictment of the fashion industry has a few high points---the parody of "Striptease" with Mastroianni and Loren, photographer Stephen Rea's hilarious "revenge tactics" against three fashion editors, and the subplot wherein reporters Julia Roberts and Tim Robbins find themselves stuck in a hotel room together and spend the whole weekend making love---(not a bad predicament for Robbins's character!!). Unfortunately, Altman fails to develop any of his subplots or characters fully, and the remainder of the film is ersatz and boring: lengthy, pointless scenes of runway models that serve no purpose other than conveying the "feel" of the fashion world. A few plot points make little sense... watch it and see if you can figure out why Marshall Fields tycoon Danny Aiello winds up in drag! According to Julia Roberts in an interview, Altman and his cast had a heyday making Pret-a-Porter, and that's obvious from the resultant picture. Unfortunately, it isn't nearly as fun to watch...
