This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

If you ever watched the Hart to Hart TV series (late 1970's - early 1980's) this movie will feel very similar. Beautiful people, gorgeous locations and characters doing things that kind of leaves you saying, "What the heck?" Farrah is beautiful, innocently very sexy and I think she is her Charlie's Angels character Jill Munroe. Charles Grodin, Art Carney and Joan Collins do a good job. Joan gives it her all and makes the movie even more fun. The accidental drive-through bull fighting scene made me worry non-stop for the bull! All in all it is a silly, happy movie that is a bit illogical but..what the heck. It was fun to watch and made me feel happy.

Richard Sarafian's "Sunburn" is very much lighthearted comedy. It's not a movie that'll give you belly laughs, nor is there anything serious or explicit about it. Most of the humor derives from Charles Grodin's and Farrah Fawcett's personalities bouncing off each other. Nonetheless, the movie is a neat look at Acapulco (although I'm sure that the city is a lot more developed now), and the car chase at the end is to die for. That's what it is. Nothing special, just a plain old comedy/murder mystery.Aside from the main stars and Art Carney, other cast members include Joan Collins, William Daniels (Dustin Hoffman's father in "The Graduate"), Keenan Wynn (Bat Guano in "Dr. Strangelove") and Alejandro Rey (Carlos Ramirez on "The Flying Nun", on an episode of which Fawcett played one of his love interests).

After capturing the hearts and minds of most teen boys in America, Farrah Fawcett branched out into posters and films. Leaving behind "Charlie's Angels" and fame and fortune, Farrah embarked on her "S" trilogy. The middle installment in the trilogy was aptly titled "Sunburn"(the other two movies were called "Somebody Killed Her Husband" and "Saturn 3") and involved Miss Farrah's teaming with Charles Grodin and their ability to portray themselves as husband and wife. The reason for the elaborate ruse is to clean up a phony suicide claim. Insurance fraud has never seemed more exciting as it does here, where you can walk outside into the streets of Acapulco or slip into a million dollar chateau for a cocktail party. Speaking of posters this film has one of the best: Farrah in a one-piece that defies gravity, Grodin with a sidearm and Art Carney parachuting in on a pair of sunglasses with the ocean in the background. Oh, well, maybe you should purchase the poster instead. But if you don't wish to watch three straight Farrah Fawcett films on a summer' afternoon, pair this one up with the Mexican-set, Neo-Noir classic, "Against All Odds."

Charles Grodin plays a insurance investigator and Farrah Fawcett poses as his wife to solve murder. Art Carney is added for comedic relief to keep the movie rolling. Grodin is little serious as the usual roles that play in other movies. This is not Fawcett best role, but will show her acting ability in later movies as The Burning Bed and Extermities. Its not the best movie, but I like for the adventurous plot.
