Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreSpoiler warning: Don't get too attached to the Harts' friends. Pretty high mortality count by the end of most episodes!Seriously, it's Nick and Nora Charles Lite, but with Spelling Productions you're expecting something profound or fiendish mystery plot twists? But Spelling always knew how to entertain, and he also had a knack of hiring top acting professionals. The charm and talent of the three leads here (the dog Freeway isn't bad either) is obviously the biggest factor in the show's success. And Spelling did have a knack for great opening sequences, and Hart to Hart is no exception.So if you're looking to unwind from the pressure of a tough day, turning on Cozi or Hallmark Mystery to spend a couple hours with Jennifer and Jonathan and Max wouldn't be your worst choice for diversion.
... View MoreIf you've read some of my other user comments, you'll quickly discover that Hart to Hart isn't the kind of thing I usually go for. But, surprisingly, the show works for me. A loving relationship, plenty of money, a wonderful house, nice cars, and a life filled with adventure and mystery this is what has always drawn me to Hart to Hart.At the heart of Hart to Hart is its two leads Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as Johnathan and Jennifer Hart. Has there ever been a more perfect television couple? It's easy to see that they were longtime friends in real life before the show started. They seem so natural together. Both are also accomplished actors and are capable of making even the most ridiculous of situations believable. And Lionel Stander as the butler, chauffeur, handyman, cook, and general do everything guy, Max, is also a real asset. Like Wagner and Powers, he came to the series with a long resume. It's a solid cast.Looking back at some of the episodes, they may seem incredibly corny to those more accustomed to modern TV. Two people just don't find themselves in these kinds of predicaments week after week. One week you're running from drug smugglers, the next week your house is completely emptied by thieves, and the next you're recovering a priceless antique for a Buddhist temple. I could live a lifetime and never have one episode worth of the adventure the Harts experienced. And, you know what? it's this implausibility that really makes the show work for me. I enjoy it because it is unrealistic and fanciful. Life is tough enough without having reality rear its ugly head disguised as entertainment on television. I love to turn on something like Hart to Hart (or Charlie's Angels or Wonder Woman or Banacek or whatever show you can name form this period) and be entertained, and, even for a brief moment, forget about the real problems we all face. I don't find today's reality-based television dramas entertaining they're depressing to me.
... View MoreMan, I love this show, and wish they would show reruns on cable now, instead of some of the crappy shows in syndication. Hart to Hart wasn't deep or important or even remotely realistic, but it was great fun, and full of eye candy. Stephanie (who was and is just gorgeous) and Robert had great chemistry and brought a real sense of glamor to this show. The formula was simple and effective: every episode was either about a Hart family friend or colleague getting murdered or murdering someone else, followed by the Harts donning costumes, playing sleuth, and using their vast financial resources to solve the crime. There was always at least one "action" scene or chase, and the show always closed with some silly, sexual banter between J&J...usually shot in the bedroom set. Along the way there was always a bit of comic relief provided by the late, great Lionel Stander (AKA Max.) TV these days is either incredibly shoddy or sooooo self-important and haughty that it's unwatchable (Hello, Mr. Sorkin!!!)A show like Hart to Hart would be a welcome change of pace these days.
... View MoreThe series Hart o Hart is great to watch. I think the power in this TVseries is that the Harts love each other and there butler very much. People like to see that. Its working relaxing. I know that in this series the friends of the family are getting less, but if you watch Jessica Fletcher and more other detective series, you have the same problem. Just enjoy the show. I saw that de McMillan and Wife is coming on DVD too. I hope it will be done with this TVserie also. All episodes are just relaxing to watch. Nice cars, great home lovely people....etc. etc. No, I think it is a good TVseries. Now the next problem is to get this on DVD in Europe. The forget us sometimes .....Ntsuno
