Such a frustrating disappointment

Fresh and Exciting

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I think if I gave a summary of the film people may not watch it !! A middle aged woman goes to her favourite singer's funeral and the sets out to find his killer .However , with a cast including the remarkable Kathy Bates , Rupert Everett , Richard Briars , Dan Ackroyd and Jonathan Pryce , it's a must-see . Kathy Bates acts with her face and has the viewer crying for her , laughing with her and cheering her on . The show is stolen, though by the beautiful and remarkable actress Meredith Eaton who plays Kathy Bates daughter in law .Masterclass !!! The essence of this film is that we can watch it over and over and still laugh and this film not only succeeds there but I see something else in it every time I watch it .Enjoy !!!!

This is my all time favorite movie. That is a scary proposition since I love movies. This is a movie I watch over and over because the story is still funny after 30 or more views. (How can you not love a dwarf in a red raincoat?) It is also a movie about setting out to accomplish something that you would have not thought possible.It's also about friendship. My best friend was dying of cancer and we sat in my den with her head cradled in my lap and watched it through twice before either of us thought of turning it off. I have to save it now, and only watch it occasionally. The great stage actor Jonathan Pryce as Victor Fox is sublime when he does Hitchcock Railway. I laugh every time I see it. How does he do that thing with his eyebrows? Check it out, you won't be sorry. Have to go..it is time to watch Unconditional Love.

Stumbled across this movie on HBO while on vacation. It was either this or watching CNN all night. In hindsight, I should have stuck with CNN. Sure the cast is excellent. I too am a fan of Bates, Everett & Pryce. In my opinion, Bates' best performances have been in Stephen King's adaptations, i.e. the horror genre. Apart from being a horror to watch, this movie does not fall into that category. It's very difficult to decide what category to place it in at all. I was continually wincing throughout as such characters like Julie Andrews appeared and tried to calm a situation down by singing a song. I can only hope these actors/actresses were doing this for a charity fun event. The worst part of the movie was when it decided to gown down the 'thriller/whodunit' route and the main cast tracked down the killer. No, I changed my mind, the worst part was the TV interview section at the end. It certainly made me wish I'd kept all the little vomit bags from the plane.

I absolutely adore this movie! I had never heard of it when I saw it at the video store. I saw Kathy Bates was in it, so I figured it had to have some worth, you know? I watched it the first time just shaking my head . . . huh? Then it was the last scene and I found myself aching from smiling so hard. I clicked "play movie" and watched the whole thing again. It is without doubt the quirkiest movie I've ever seen. But the more I watch it, the more I love it. It's absurd and crazy and sweet and dear. Kathy Bates is impeccable, but the rest of the cast is fabulous, too. What odd characters they all are! The midget is just too funny for words. And Julie Andrews and Barry Manilow are hysterical. It's just an all around funny, fabulous movie. I get cravings to see it again. Whoever is watching it for the first time, please stick it out to the end. It's well worth it!
