Crude,unfunny,unrealistic,misguided mish mosh.
30 December 2016
Someone had the not so bright idea of remaking When Harry Met Sally except in this movie the boy and girl play oingo-boingo in the beginning of the movie and then meet cute years later and the movie goes on and on and on from there.Before watching this movie I liked Jason Sudaekis and now I hope I never meet him in real life or in another movie. Alison Brie starts out gorgeous becomes unappealing and ends up repellent.It is impossible to understand either of the main characters motivation for their actions and their actions and interactions are lewd,crude and ultimately uninteresting. About 45 minutes into the movie I realized I could not hear what the characters were saying to each other but I decided not to turn the sound up because I was not missing anything.Scene after scene made me scratch my head and ask what kind of people act like this and what kind of people write a movie where people act like this.I always allow for poetic license but none of this behavior was interesting or funny or made any sense.If you are getting the idea that I did not like this movie you are 200% correct.

In a movie where 90% of the time is spent talking about sex or showing people having sex there is not one moment in the movie that is sexy.I have watched animals mating on the National Geographic channel that was more interesting and compelling and I cared more about than I did the people in this movie.Not recommended.With extreme prejudice.

Avanti! (1972)

Eminently watchable

Not Billy Wilders best but at times funny and an absolutely beautiful movie to look at.Hard to choose which is more beautiful,the Italian Riviera or Juliet Mills in the altogether.This was the Nanny and the Professor that everyone of us who was in love with Juliet Mills wanted to see.The hardest part of the movie to believe is that it takes Jack Lemmon so long to fall in love with her.If you see this movie is on one of your cable channels it is a definite must see for the laughs,the scenery and the loveliness of Italy and Juliet Mills Alpine curves and exquisite English beauty.Edward Andrews and Clive Revill both have a field day with their character roles and were never better.

Good and Sexy and Scary
8 February 2016
I first saw this movie when I was a teenager on late night TV.All I could remember was Peggy Webber running around in a see through night gown for half the movie.The best half of the movie.

I recently viewed it again on a large screen TV and my memory was 100% correct.The best part of the movie is Peggy Webber running around in a see through nightgown.Those scenes are so good and sexy and scary that I give the movie an 8 out of 10.If you are a man you will be excited by this movie and if you are a woman you will be scared and excited.It was ahead of it time as far as special effects and implied nudity are concerned and implied nudity is always better than nude nudity.A must see just for Peggy Webbers performance alone.
