... View MoreI can't believe some of the reviews I'm reading - so negative! I love this movie. I realize that to watch it now may leave the audience disappointed - but when it came out back in the 90's, this movie was fantastic. The script gave you just enough about the characters that you were able to draw more from their actions to see their vulnerability and insecurities. There are quite funny moments, sweet, sad and interesting. For me it was great to see these characters learn about themselves and what they wanted. I enjoyed this movie very much - and while it may not be Oscar-worthy or ground breaking, it remains one of my favorites.
... View MoreIf there is any merit in this movie, it is thanks to the performances of Sarah Jessica Parker and Ben Stiller. Elle McPherson is mediocre, as usual, and was obviously only picked for her looks (if you like the boring model type - how original to have her as an object of fantasy - yawn!) In fact, my theory is that the truly awful Schaeffer only wrote this tripe so he could legitimately molest Elle McPherson. He is extremely unattractive physically (what is with that hair and the dreadful clothes?), which wouldn't be a problem if he had a likable personality. I suppose his character is supposed to be sweet, funny and bumbling, but instead he comes across as unpleasant, selfish and completely in love with himself. At one stage Elle's character describes him as "funny, intelligent and good looking" (or words to that effect) - I'm afraid she's wrong on all three. How the viewer is supposed to believe that any woman would find him attractive, let alone two, is beyond my comprehension.
... View MoreThis film is probably one of my all time favorites (well, I got many favorites). Sarah Jessica Parker and Eric Schaeffer is best mates and makes a deal. If none of them aren't in a serious relationship by the age of 30 - they both kill them self by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge.The script is charming, beautiful and witty - the picturesque quality is good. Ben Stiller plays a quirky artist, the small kids in the part are real charming - and director/writer/actor Eric Schaeffer does a wonderful job as the ever so eccentric "Joe".Elle McPherson and James Rebhorn also stars in this movie, that is a real gemstone. The now dissolved American alternative rock band "Marry Me Jane" has the beautiful score and film music.All in all, 9/10 - very charming
... View MoreNo . . . It's not the most exciting film out there or the most intellectual thing in the world but "If Lucy Fell" portrays a quirky, contemporary best-friendship between a man and a woman (both of whom are totally and utterly screwed up beyond belief). There are moments of disbelief that people may actually think and be this way, other moments of awe at the innocent and sweet nature of friends and children, and others of . . . "I can't believe she just said that. I've wanted to say something that clever my whole life". Bottom line: it's fun, funky, and laughable and purely a good time . . . as long as you don't think about it too much.
