One of the worst movies I've ever seen
... View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreOn his way to work, Teddy spots Charlotte - an incredibly beautiful Woman in Red. He really wants to meet her - but what would his wife say? Gene Wilder makes his 4th attempt as a director in The Woman in Red and the conclusion is a smart, silly and very funny comedy about a man who fells in love with a woman in a red dress although i got to say this movie wasn't as good as See No Evil, Hear No Evil cause that one had a great chemistry this one does work mostly because of Gene Wilder's charisma and talent and Kelly LeBrock is not in the film as much as she should her character is in couple of scenes and during the 3rd act the film kinda looses it's focus and tries to tell the story of other characters as well for example Charles Grodin and Teddy trying to tell him a joke or going into an unexpected birthday party and stuff like that and although the ending was silly cause he fall in love with another woman i found the film still being pretty nice not great but it definitely gets an 9 out of 10 just for Wilder being really really funny and that scene in restaurant when Grodin was acting like he was blind and he started tearing the place apart that was hilarious but still a weak 3rd act but a pretty good film overall.
... View MoreI get rid of American remake of brilliant European movies. Why not watch the original ? In this case the french movie is much more funny and also the actors are better chosen. And also the french title : "Un elephant SA -trompe- "énormément", contains such "finesse" that is impossible to translate in any other language. If you liked this movie, you never will enjoy an European movie. Just for the record; I'm a fan of Gene Wilder but he is so stupid and unbelievable The original is one of the best french comedies of the 20th century. pf this review is too long pf this review is too long don't know what ti write morepf this review is too long pf this review is too long don't know what ti write more
... View MoreThe fine line between comedy and tragedy is on display in this picture. This is a truly vile film. Comedy? Not even close. The message of this film is that everybody's a lying cheat and will never learn from their mistakes. A truly tragic pronouncement.Maybe the language barrier affected this adaptation of its French source material. The cultural insulation films receive by way of subtitles might have made this sad mess hysterical. Find a print in which the actors speak Mandarin with English subtitles and let me know whether it's zany, OK? Never knew an alleged comedy could be so depressing.
... View MoreGene Wilder directed and stars in this Americanized variation on the French farce "Pardon Mon Affaire", playing a married man who contemplates having a fling with sexy Kelly LeBrock. It sounds like a surefire set-up for a comic farce, but LeBrock isn't given much of a character to play (she's treated as a prop), and the other actors (Judith Ivey, Joseph Bologna, Charles Grodin) are just marking time with colorless roles as suburban deadheads. Gene Wilder has a few choice moments, but he's too fond of seeing himself be silly and he becomes a show-off. Thankfully there's Gilda Radner in a brief but very funny role as an office nobody/Plain Jane who thinks Wilder has a crush on her and then plots revenge; Radner, although helped along in her career by real-life husband Wilder, never got that great, hilarious movie-screen role after leaving "Saturday Night Live", which was a crime, but here she's used just right, and she performs without vanity or resorting to mugging. Wilder might have learned something from her. *1/2 from ****
