Movie Reviews of Twilight of the Golds

Movie Review: Can't Miss It
Summary: 5 Stars

A huge fan of Jennifer Beals I bought the DVD blindly. However, this movie hits so close to home I shared it with my mother. The testing of a fetus is so controversial and brings so many questions to all that watch the movie. Should I test my child, what would I do, what is the right thing to do? I am of the mindset that just because science can do it, doesn't always mean we should!!! I know it would have robbed my family of 2 lives that were cut short due to a terminal illness...and knowing my own mother, I don't know that she would have had the abortions even if she did know!!!!!

My question is, does this movie have a soundtrack? The music in the movie is awesome! The entire movie was done well...thought provoking and shows what each person can really manage in their own worlds. It will have you thinking about choices you might make....you think!!!!!!

Summary of Twilight of the Golds

Based on a flop Broadway play, this film was made for Showtime but given a theatrical release, with not much more success than the stage version. Still, it's an intriguing idea, even if the dramaturgy tends toward the didactic. The jumping-off point here is the scientific discovery that homosexuality is genetic--and that the gene can be detected in prenatal testing. This disrupts the Gold family, where Dad (Garry Marshall) barely tolerates the homosexuality of his son (Brendan Fraser). When pregnant daughter Jennifer Beals, who is married to a geneticist (Jon Tenney), has the test and discovers that her fetus will be gay, she triggers a family debate that pits parents (including mom Faye Dunaway) against son, raising the question of whether they would have aborted Fraser if they'd known he would be gay. Good acting can't overcome heavy-handed dialogue, though Fraser and Marshall are particularly good. --Marshall Fine
