Movie Reviews of Roxanne
Movie Review: One of my favourite favourite films
Summary: 4 Stars
This film always makes me laugh, cheers me up, instills a bit of hope that there can be happy endings. A funny scene from the film: C.D: "One more step and I'm leaving." Roxanne: "What did you say?" C.D: "I said 'One more step and I'm leaving'" Roxanne: "Oh." C.D: "What did you think I said?" Roxanne: "I thought you said 'Earn more sessions by sleeving." C.D: "Well what the hell does that mean?" Roxanne: "I don't know, that's why I asked." (you've got to be there, honest) If you're looking for a funny, feel-good movie, this is a film for you.......Movie Review: Steve Martin was robbed!
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Martin earned & deserved an Academy Award for "Roxanne", but Hollywood doesn't give Oscar to Comedians. At least he got nominated for a Glob(e). One of the great things about this movie is that there is no "bad guy" - you don't have to root for someone to go down in order for the hero to prevail.
The score is a tad dated. It would be great if it could someday be redone.. the same music, different instruments. Ditch the cheesy 1980's synthesizer and sax. Steve Martin is a tremendous bluegrass fan: How about the same music, played on bluegrass instruments?
Movie Review: Great movie, except for Daryl Hannah
Summary: 4 Stars
Didn't anybody else find Hannah's performance here to be...lacking? She just doesn't make it. The last scene, in which her character declares her love for Martin's character, is almost unbearable for me to watch, she's so lame and unbelievable. Despite her physical beauty, I can't accept that Martin's character would fall for her. He's so full of life and she doesn't show near enough character to match him. I don't think she's a good actress.
Sorry, Daryl.
Movie Review: Roxanne
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Martin is C.D. Bales, a perfect catch for any woman except for one drawback. He has a huge nose. Everyone is hypnotized by it. No one can ignore it. The movie is a take-off on the play, Cyrano de Bergerac. C.D. works for the fire department and falls for Roxanne, an astronomy student. Because of his nose, he courts her through a friend. Romance and humor intertwine. The scene in which Martin enumerates insults about his nose is brilliant.
Movie Review: Good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this movie when I was younger. It's still magical, but for whatever reason, it isn't the five star film I remembered. That's alright because it's still a good date movie if you want to stay home. My one big quibble is that the special feature section is so minimal. The studios should really go back and give these classic old movies the proper treatment they deserve.
