It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

When I watched this movie, I did enjoy the depth and heart with which Jamie-Lee Curtis "Became" Heidi. Her Struggle for what she believed and wanted, even though it went against most people she knew, was epic and noble. The trials she went through were in a word, Unique, she was forced to ask whether she was able to cope with the fact that someone being a lesbian or homosexual, twice this was asked of her. But, being a man i could not get over the fact that men are shown as always being overbearing, ego-maniacal, heartless, womanizers. However, as i said, all of the actors did a splendid job in their roles. Probably the best part of the movie was the end, when, It was shown that Hedi had realized her dream, and not only had her own major exhibit but she had a family.

Its not that I don't understand the film or the message it is trying to send, its just that its very badly done. Jamie Lee Curtis delivers an awful performance but not all the blame can be placed on her. The writing is far to witty at times to be spoken by people going about their day and the plots events that occur are totally unbelievable. There is one scene in which Heidi watches a film and then a few days later the romantic scene that occurred in the film happens to her in "real life." Often times I found myself laughing when the mood of the film was meant to be serious. It just isn't good, flat out. Also I thought the film played too much on gay and lesbian stereotypes.

This movie was incredibly bad. It had a terrible ear for dialogue, and for the kinds of choices middle-class, feminist women have had to deal with over the decades. Why is it that so many writers get that period so wrong? I could not watch it through to the end.

While a bit *soft* at times, this film is well worth watching. It holds a deep message for all humans ... "to know who we are is the key to understanding others". It also tells us that TRUE friends are what make life worth living!Tom Hulce, winning an Emmy (long over due!) for his performance as Peter Patrone, is excellent! Not playing the sterotypical gay man, he shows us that we all have one thing in common ... we want to be loved for who we are!BRAVO!
