Movie Reviews of The Whole Wide World
Movie Review: An Awful, Trashy Abortion of a Little Film
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a tedious, throw-away, generic abortion of a romance movie that made me wish I had rather been cleaning my cats' litter box. The film's premise, that a woman tries to deal with a fellow who has difficult idiosyncracies, could have been handled deftly in someone else's hands, but here it comes across as profoundly and excitingly as the wallpaper that counts as film on the Lifetime Channel.
Summary of The Whole Wide World
In Texas in the 1930s, young school teacher Novalyne Price meets a handsome, eccentric and interesting young man named Robert Howard. He's a successful writer of the pulp stories of 'Conan the Barbarian'; she's an aspiring author. A friendship develops into a sort of courtship. Based on a memoir by Novalyne Price. Stars Academy Award? nominee Vincent D'Onofrio and Ren?e Zellweger (Chicago).Director Dan Ireland shows a talent for authenticity with this heartbreaking love story based on Novalyne Price's 1988 account of her prickly romance with 1930s pulp-fiction writer Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan the Barbarian. She was a schoolteacher in a small Texas town; he was the odd-ball writer who lived at home and created comic-book characters that were sexier and more violent than was considered decent by the locals. Ren?e Zellweger's performance is a gem of sweet unconventionality matched by Vincent D'Onofrio's powerful show of eccentricity and increasing mental illness. Though smart and feisty, this leaves us wishing the filmmakers had dug deeper into Howard's unusual relationship with his manipulative mother. --Rochelle O'Gorman
