Movie Reviews of Tune in Tomorrow
Movie Review: Very Entertaining! 5 stars movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is delightful to watch. Keanu Reeves is great in this movie - very charming and fun to watch. I like his character a lot as a 21-year old college boy (very believable). My favorite part in the movie is when Martin was w/ his aunt Julie in a cafeteria - telling her about his dreams, of Paris, etc. Barbara Hershey and Peter Falk are such great actors. I highly recommend this movie.Movie Review: Totally Not PC But Hysterical
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not for people who are easily offended, but if you can overlook the political incorrectness, this is an hysterical movie. Peter Falk has never been better and the dual story lines provide tons of laughs.Movie Review: GREAT HUMOR
Summary: 5 Stars
"Tune in tomorrow" was among the funniest movies i've seen. If you like good humor, get this DVD from Amazon.com.!Movie Review: Pretty hilarious, and I'll never forget the Albanian jokes!
Summary: 4 Stars
I laughed out loud so many times during this movie. It was truly a delight.It centers around a young writer (Reeves) who becomes smitten with his world-weary older aunt (well, aunt-by-marriage -- they are not blood relatives). Barbara Hershey plays the aunt, who plays the lovely 36-year-old divorcee who finds herself attracted to this sweet 21-year-old young man. She thinks she wants someone "older" and "dull," so she can have some stability in her life. But, as her sister tells her later -- "You won't change. You're too wild." So she ends up falling for this younger man who has dreams of being a writer in Paris.
Their romance is sweet and heartfelt, but the true hilarity comes in the form of Peter Falk, who plays an extremely eccentric radio serial writer who is manipulating the whole town with his sensational writing. The town loves the tabloid-like melodrama he interjects into the plots; they are completely hooked. And Falk gets a lot of his ideas for the story by setting up Reeves and Hershey -- encouraging their romance (and then lifting big parts of their conversations to each other and putting it in the radio show). He also manipulates the whole town by targeting Albanians. Over and over, Albanian jokes. Albanian slander. The Albanians in town take notice!
The absurdity of the overripe plots of the radio serial are absolutely *hilarious*. We are taken into the "world" of the radio serial plot, where actors Peter Gallagher, Dan Hedaya, Elizabeth McGovern, John Larroquette, and Hope Lange play the "fictional" characters come to life in everyone's imaginations. These scenes are particularly hilarious, especially when you learn to wait for the Albanian jokes to emerge. And you *know* that they will!
One thing I will confess when I first heard about this movie: I was puzzled how they got the "incestuous" romance between Reeves' character and his "aunt" to work without creeping us all out. But, the "incest" thing quickly dispelled early in the movie. She's just an "aunt-in-law," of a sort. Not a "real" aunt. The story wouldn't have worked had she been a flesh-and-blood aunt, because we would have been too aware of the stigma that would exist in such a relationship.
This was a sweet, unusual movie. I really enjoyed it. I recommend it. It's silly, slapstick, and wait for the wretched Albanian jokes!
Movie Review: Love Nola? Get it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great performance from Peter Faulk. Many familiar faces in the large cast. Most of the hilarious lines are uttered as part of the radio soap written by Faulk's character, Pedro Carmichael. Seems Pedro has issues with Albanians. Pedro has issues, period. Great scenes shot in and around New Orleans, fab music from Mr. Marsalis. Overlooked, underrated movie.
