Not as good as I hoped...

When I heard that Christopher Reeves and his wife had worked on this project before their passings, I knew I wanted to see it. I knew it would be great. The problem...it wasn't. Yes, the message behind the movie, "You Can Do It", is great for children as well as adults to hear and remember. I just did not find the humor as funny as it could have been and that disappoints me. It had the elements and ability to be hilarious and have a meaningful storyline, alas, one out of two.

No Title

I was not sure about this movie, so I rented it. It starts off slow and has quite a few slow or dull moments. I just had to keep in mind that this was the first full length lesbian movie made (at least I think it is) which helped me keep my patience. Overall, a beautiful story of two women who fall in love. It's always great to see the emotions behind a woman's first realization that she is indeed in love with another woman. Also true to those emotions were the sex scenes. Not my favorite movie, but it is one I would like to watch when I have some spare time.

Sooo Great!

I absolutely loved this movie. Yes, I am a chick flick kind of girl, but don't dwell, I love not so chick flick movies as well!

The idea behind this movie was a great one. I never would have thought of trading houses with a strager living on a different continent. If my heart has just been broken (again) that would be the perfect idea! I also loved how the characters were so easy to relate to. Great movie!

Brought Me Back...

This movie is great for those nights when your reminiscing about the 80's. I fell in love with the Nintendo back in the day and with all the new technology and game systems I rarely think back. Ahh.... I remember how cool the Glove was too! My brother had one and wouldn't share. Also, what little girl didn't think Fred Savage was adorable!?

I also love how the story line still affected me. For me, this movie is just one of those moves that I MUST have in my childhood movie collection and probably share with my nieces and nephew.
