Movie Reviews of The Girl Most Likely To . . .
Movie Review: At Long Last!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Many of us have been eagerly waiting for this movie to come out for the past 36 years. I can't begin to describe how happy I am to finally find it. For any movie to have been so profoundly memorable to so many people... you know it has to be great.
Stockard Channing's performance and makeup in this movie were exceptional. One of a kind... which is why this movie has really stuck in our minds.
The portrayal of her as a very homely, overweight girl who is cruelly tormented and abused by her classmates is so realistic, it is hard to believe it is makeup. They didn't have the fancy tricks available back then... nor the budgets. So, when Stockard Channing transforms into her new appearance, it is quite a shock. It is hard to believe it is the same actress.
Then when she seeks revenge, she becomes the most amazing chameleon of multiple disguises and accents. A truly memorable display of Stockard Channing's acting talents.
In addition to Ed Asner, you will see many other recognizable actors in this movie who were very young at the time. Well known in top rated series like Chips, Love Boat, Gilligan's Island, etc.
After seeing this movie, it was apparent that she should have been a top talent in film and TV. She apparently opted to do a lot of stage performances but that deprived the rest of us from seeing her. I was disappointed over the years that I didn't see a lot more of her in movies. I think her manager didn't do her justice. She should have had a better choice of scripts and films. Definitely an under appreciated talent with multifaceted skills.
While I'm not a Joan Rivers fan, her writing of this story was exceptional. She and the director should be commended for this masterpiece. They did a top notch job without expending a huge budget. This was back before movies had to depend on computer graphics and special effects to keep the audience entertained. There was not a boring moment in the entire movie. The only problem which might have reduced the audience is that it shares a similar title with a much older movie and could have easily been mistaken for that other movie when listed.
I do have an old VHS copy of this movie which I fortunately made back around 1985 but is not the best quality since it was taped from antenna. It was probably the only time I can remember that this movie was ever repeated and I was just lucky enough to catch it at that time.
So I am thrilled to finally find this movie again. Someone actually listened to the fans for a change. I only wish I had known about it sooner.
Summary of The Girl Most Likely To . . .
Stockard Channing is Miriam, an "ugly duckling" who is dumped on by everyone. After her heart is broken by a callous campus jock, Miriam tearfully speeds off in her car and is involved in a serious accident. Plastic surgery is required, and when Miriam emerges from behind the bandages, she is ravishingly beautiful. It's payback time when she uses her new attractiveness to exact revenge on all those who wronged her. Edward Asner plays the police inspector who's hot on the trail of the femme fatale. A dark comedy written by Joan Rivers, THE GIRL MOST LIKELY TO... will leave you in stitches!Comedy DVD Video
