Movie Reviews of Where's Poppa?

Movie Review: Ruth Gordon at her best!
Summary: 5 Stars

Being a Ruth Gordon fan, this is truly one of my all time favorite comedies. It's Ruth at her very best. Truly a "don't miss."

Movie Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is a classic. Every actor does a great job and the script is hilarious. They don't make movies like this any more.

Movie Review: The "Alternate" ending bit
Summary: 4 Stars

I saw this movie in a theater (on a double bill with Harold and Maude). The "alternate" ending is the ending that I saw...so obviously it was not removed for theatrical release, but apparently to make the movie less shocking for television audiences or video buyers. Why you would continue to release the dumbed down happy ending version on tape and DVD with the original (and far superior, though far blacker)ending added as an "alternate" is beyond me. The happy ending looks rough and wrong-it is just too abrupt, since all they really did was chop off the last five minutes of the movie! I am confused as to how and why you would leave in the elaborate rape joke but demur on Gordon apparently doing Mamma at the end. It seems to me that if you can't take the original ending you should be horrified by the whole movie! SURELY this was never shown on TV-gorilla rape and all? Every other word is the F-bomb as well. If this was altered for TV, there must not have been much left when they were finished. It was still funny, after all these years-just didn't like the hacked off ending.

Movie Review: Funny Film But Overpriced DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

I have scene this film three times so far. It is a hilarious dark comedy that is not known about by most people. There are scenes in this movie that are hysterical. It is certainly not for all tastes but neither is "Harold and Maude," another classic cult film Ruth Gordon is in (Lord Love a Duck being another). She is a delight in this film. George Segal also gives a great performance as the son who is at his wit's end when it comes to taking care of his demented, senile mother. If you enjoy dark comedies, you will more than likely enjoy this one. It is not some sort of masterpiece, but is for sure worth viewing a time or two. How can you forget a scene in which Ruth Gordon literally kisses George Segal's bare behind!
It is unfortunate that the DVD is priced as it is. That I don't understand at all.
