Movie Reviews of Town and Country
Movie Review: Should get zero if they allowed it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I doubt I will see a worse movie this year or next. After three years of rewrites, reshoots and re-edits, Warren Beatty's latest vehicle is released and falls mightily flat with a huge crash. All the post-production hoopla did nothing but destroy the film's chances of ever finding any artistic success or adding any glimmer to the careers of those involved. Beatty and Garry Shandling are idiot actors in idiotic roles as two men who can't stop cheating on their wives. Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton hardly fare any better as the women who are being betrayed by these philandering gits (this is a very far cry from The First Wives Club). All the other talented performers, from Jenna Elfman to Andie MacDowell to Joshua Hartnett, are wasted in thankless roles that for the most part don't even make any sense. The film's script has absolutely no humour beyond the odd moment, and most of its scenes end without ever having gone anywhere. Even Beatty can't avoid the fact that he is just too old to be in something so ridiculous; with no character strength written in, how are we supposed to believe that all these gorgeous women a third his age would fall for this twelve hundred year-old goofball? The enjoyment level here is equal to a non-novocaine-assisted drilling in a back-alley dentist's chair. Unbelievable that is written by the man who wrote To Die For and co-wrote Heaven Can Wait with Beatty.Movie Review: MOVE OVER ISHTAR AND HOWARD THE DUCK
Summary: 1 Stars
Filmed in 1998 and not released until 2001, TOWN AND COUNTRY has the dubious honor of being one of the most financially disastrous films of all time. What were these talented actors doing in a mess like this? It's thin plot focuses on marital infidelity and pompous overacting. Warren Beatty is basically playing his off-screen persona; Diane Keaton is playing the same roles she's been playing ever since Annie Hall; Garry Shandling is like a stand up comic with no funny lines; Goldie Hawn is the same Goldie from DEATH BECOMES HER; Andie McDowell and Nastassa Kinski are wasted in their superflous roles; and Charlton Heston is no Leslie Nielsen, and is about as funny as HOWARD THE DUCK.
Peter Chisom's direction is pedestrian and uninspired, and the whole thing just falls flat on its incompetent face. What a waste!
Movie Review: Bad writing makes for a really bad movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, I've said it more than 1000 times -- what makes a good movie (or TV show) is good writing; therefore bad writing makes for a bad movie. But add a bad actor like Warren Beatty and you have a horrible movie. When I first heard of this flick, I wanted to like it. I accidentally stumbled upon it last night on the Independent Movie Channel and gave it a viewing. What was crazy about it was that as each terrible scene after another happened, I couldn't stop watching this train wreck of a film. I hate to dump on a movie, but this movie was so bad that I just have to! And that's that. Wanna see a train wreck without blood and guts, then here's your chance! Enjoy.... SUCKER!Movie Review: Goldie Hawn & Warren Beatty: just don't gel
Summary: 1 Stars
I have always been a BIG fan of Goldie Hawn because of her extraordinary talent, and abitity to adept herself to unuasual situations. I don't understand why Goldie would lower her standards and appear in the aweful "B" grade flick. This movie has a very basic story line where a married, elderly wealthy, old man is portrayed in being able to have sex with beautiful younger women and ends up being caught. The end I will leave for your imanination. :)
There doesn't seem to be any 'spark' between Beatty and Goldie as in acting together: again...heaven knows why she did it.
see this only if you are extremely bored. As a previouse reviewer stated: not a movie for Goldies C.V
Movie Review: One of the worst. movies we've ever tried to watch
Summary: 1 Stars
This was one of the worst movies my husband and I ever tried to watch. We finally gave up and I threw our DVD away. We were looking forward to watching it because of the cast, but that just proves that you need more than very good actores to make a good movie. Nothing seemed funny to us; I find it strange that it got better reviews than "My Fellow Americans" and "Her Alibi." We enjoyed the first one and thought the second one was cute, but they got trounced. Which might also prove that you have to be an outspoken liberal to get a good review in Hollywood?
