Movie Reviews of Relative Values

Movie Review: I Enjoyed A Lot; Hubby Stayed Out Of Room
Summary: 4 Stars

Hubby didn't even enjoy what he was hearing on the other side of the house coming from this movie. However, I'd had a hard day, was totally exhausted and needed something extremely light and frothy so I could completely zone out. This fit the bill perfectly. It is an English ensemble drawing room type comedy. Julie Andrews plays a dowager countess in 1953 whose son, the Earl, decides to marry an American movie star. The countess and her nephew (played by Colin Firth) set the stage to seemingly welcome the couple back to their home but really to break them up. Helping them along are William Baldwin, playing an American movie star who was the woman's former boyfriend, plus the countess's maid who knew the woman film star in her earlier life. Slight? You bet but it was just what the doctor ordered.

Movie Review: It's not Shakespear, but it is a good light watch
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this primarily because it has Colin Firth in it. Even though the back of the box says he's the playboy engaged to Jeanne Tripplehorn, he's not. He plays Peter, Lady Marshwood's nephew.

However, His character, Peter is funny. He can convey more with a facial expression than the American actors in the movie. As always, Julie Andrews gives a wonderful performance.

A good light watch for a rainy afternoon!

Movie Review: Not quite what you expect
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this DVD because I like Colin Firth. However, he plays a minor role. He is not the prince who sweeps the lady off her feet but rather a stuffy old English relative. Julie Andrews was, as usual, wonderful. The DVD quality was alright but don't buy this movie if you think Colin Firth has top billing.
