Movie Reviews of Starting Over
Movie Review: I think
Summary: 4 Stars
it was a hoot upon seeing this film in the theatre espeically the part where Candice Bergen tries to woo Burt back with her terrible singing "Better than Ever" I think that is the name of the song ..as always Jill Clayburgh was winning as ever and Burt couldn't been better too. Its a shame Jill's middle age romance flick with Jeffrey Tambor .. "Never Again" got the due it deserved when ti came out. Everybody should check that out, its a hoot too.Movie Review: Too funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Candice Bergin is a scream as a would be singer with no voice at all. Great movie that they never show on TV anymore.Movie Review: Good, but not quite good enough
Summary: 3 Stars
It's part of movie lore that Burt Reynolds' career hit the toilet the moment he decided to do Stroker Ace instead of Terms of Endearment, but what people forget is that his previous collaboration with James L. Brooks, on the Alan J. Pakula-directed Starting Over, didn't exactly set the box-office on fire. At the time industry pundits claimed it was because he shaved his `tache for the film (no, really) but in retrospect it's probably more because this often feels a bit like a superior Lifetime TV movie, the kind of film you won't mind watching if it's on and you have nothing better to do but which you wouldn't actively seek out. There are good moments and good performances (both Candice Bergen, who delivers a trio of memorably awful songs with unashamed - intentional - incompetence and Jill Clayburgh were Oscar nominated as the ex-wife and new woman in unwilling divorcee Reynolds' life, while Charles Durning is on good understated form as his psychiatrist brother), but for all the care with which its made it just never quite catches fire.
Paramount's DVD typically boasts no extras but does offer a decent widescreen transfer.
Movie Review: "Dark" comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
I still loved this movie, even after several years. Unfortunately, many of the scenes were dark. I don't know if it was the quality of the filming back then which didn't convert well in DVD or it was just the quality of the particular dvd. That's my only complaint. But, again, its a great movie!
