This movie is totally misleading. Here I was thinking that I was going to be watching a Biopic about how the tv show I Love Lucy came about from the beginning, how the stars got chosen, and a storyline over the time that they filmed the 9 seasons of the hit tv show but boy was I so disappointed. The movie spent most of the time concentrating on Lucille Ball being accused of being a Communist, Desi Arnaz cheating, and 1 scene out of 1 episode of I love Lucy that Lucille Ball wanted to get just right.
I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy and I know that Lucille Ball was very particular about everything but the movie didn't even show the 3 most iconic and funniest scenes from 3 different episodes of I Love Lucy: 1. The Vitameatavegamin scene, 2. Lucy running aroun in a Vat of grapes and getting into a grape throwing throwing fight with an Italian lady, and 3. Lucy and Ethel getting a job at a chocolate Factory with chocolates coming out fast along a conveyor belt.
As the movie was called Being the Ricardos, I would have liked to have seen more about I love Lucy than Lucille Ball's and Desi Arnaz's relationship.
Hollywood did a very similar movie way back in 2003 called Lucy, which I gave a pass as it did not say that it was about I Love Lucy but the subject matter was the same.
IT would be good if Hollywood would go back to better biopics where you get the whole story and not just 1 month or 1 week of a Famous person's life. Grace of Monaco was another failure as all I got to see was 1 month or Princess Grace's life. Lincoln was another movie , all we got was 1 month of his life.
If you people in Hollywood have forgotten how to write Biopics then look at Chaplin with Robert Downey Jr. That movie was excellent and I got to learn about the whole life of Charlie Chaplin, not just 1 week or 1 month in his life.
For me, Being the Ricardos is an EPIC FAILURE.
