Movie Reviews of Twice in a Lifetime
Movie Review: Hackman's Great
Summary: 4 Stars
Gene Hackman is not handsome or suave. He isn't a tough guy in the mold of Bogart or Cagney though he has a manly presence. He doesn't have a romantic persona on screen, but somehow he carries off a believable middle-age romance with Ann Margret in Twice in a Lifetime. Well, who wouldn't if the object of affection was Ann-Margret?
When a man leaves his family after fifty, dumps his wife, lovely Ellen Burstyn, and separates himself from his angry daughter, Amy Madigan of the short hair do and Ally Sheedy of the Brat Pack fame, well, all hell breaks lose. If blue collar, Mariner and Sea Hawk rooting, Harry MacKenzie wants a second chance at love, he has to face the wrath of all those that love him.
This is an uncharacteristic look at middle-age divorce and love so rare in a Hollywood film. Harry has wrought a moral and ethical riddle. The audience will have to decide.
Summary of Twice in a Lifetime
Harry MacKenzie (Gene Hackman, in a rare domestic outing) has just turned 50. The steelworker lives near Seattle and roots for the Seahawks. He and his wife of 30 years, Kate (Ellen Burstyn), have three kids, Jerry (Darrell Larson), Helen (Ally Sheedy), and Sunny (Amy Madigan, Oscar-nominated for her fiery performance). On the surface, life is good. Truth is, Harry's bored--until be meets barmaid Audrey (Ann-Margret). Written by Colin Welland (Chariots of Fire) and directed by Bud Yorkin (Divorce, American Style), Twice in a Lifetime takes an even-handed look at the consequences of divorce. Harry doesn't just shatter Kate's world when he takes up with another woman, but his entire family. The film works double-time as an ode to a city that no longer exists, as when Harry and Audrey take in a game at the Kingdome. Featuring a score by Pat Metheny and title track by Paul McCartney. --Kathleen C. FennessyDrama DVD Video
