    The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

    Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

    It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

    The movie really just wants to entertain people.

    I don't know which season is now running here in Italy on Fox satellite TV, but I find it really irresistible. In my opinion it is one of the best sit comedy of this period, full of humor and great intelligence. It makes you smiling even after one bad day. Kristie is very good to joke with herself (for example about getting fat), not so easy for a top actress, and she is funny as she was in "cin cin" ( I don't know the American name, is the sit comedy in a pub with Ted Danson). All the other actors are nearly unknown here in Italy, but they all work well. In my personal opinion it's more funny then "Friends" and I'm sorry to know it's ended.

    I have respectfully read EVERY ONE of the other user reviews of the show on this site. It seems that most of the users liked "Veronica's Closet." It also seems that the vast majority of these people are from non-American countries, from such places as Wales, Germany, and Brazil. Maybe to them this show is humorous and refreshing... perhaps it gains something in translation... but now I think it's only fair that someone from it's country of origin write a fair review."Veronica's Closet" was awful. It was a star-centric show who seemed to think it's lead actress (Kirstie Alley) was a comic genius. While she was very funny as part of the dream team ensemble of "Cheers," she was vile, loathsome, and offensive as "Ronnie," president of her own lingerie company. Kirstie's yo-yo weight gain, her bizarro hair colors, and her constant whining made this show unwatchable. Her frilly, flowing, feathered wardrobe looked less like something a fashion designer would wear and more like something created by the Children's Television Workshop.Then there was the show itself. Starting with the premise that "Sex Sells," the show's creators decided to make EVERY joke in the series about intercourse and dirty words. For example, Wallace Langham as the sexually ambiguous assistant. The constant insinuations and inferences that he might be gay were not funny, only creepy. And who can forget the heart-warming scenes where Kirstie and her secretary Olive (Kathy Najimy) would talk about the size of men's genitals while soaking up martinis at the bar? Less than Absolutely Fabulous.Not to be outdone by the ladies the show serves up two of the most disgusting male characters in television history with Dan Cortese and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell as two horny executives who were out to Get Some! See them try to hump everything that moves, including pregnant women and their co-worker's relatives! As if this wasn't scuzzo enough, Ron Silver- America's favorite low-key psychotic- was added to the cast as Veronica's love interest!If I sound bitter about this show it's because I am. Many of us hate it so passionately because we were "forced" to watch it between our favorite shows "Friends" and "Seinfeld," where it was sandwiched for survival. For three seasons we were amazed that the show had not been cancelled, and for three seasons the actors and producers of the show sunk lower and lower into comedy so filthy I had to shower after watching."Veronica's Closet" has mellowed a bit over time, and if you see it in re-runs or syndication it will not seem as loathsome to you as it did to many of us who saw it in it's original run. Today the series is trashy, flat, and occasionally funny; when it was alive it was downright unholy.

    OK, I don't know what all you people are talking about. The 3rd season of this sitcom SUCKED.The first season, on the other hand, was brilliant - it was laugh-out-loud funny (a whole lot better than the boring, repetitive "Friends"), and it satirised the fashion industry and all its air-head models so...beautifully.I never missed an episode. I would watch each one about 3 times until the following week's episode. But once Hunter came in and took over the company, I felt physically sick. "NO!" I thought. After that, the sitcom got worse and worse, what with the boring Alec Bilson (Ron Silver) and the excruciatingly unfunny 3rd season featuring the great June (one of the redeeming but under-used features of that season). I have not seen those "final-and-previously-unaired" episodes, as I lost interest in the show.But I wish NBC would just take the show from the first season, before Hunter took over the company, and carry it on from there. Correct the mistakes; forget everything that happened afterwards, don't introduce anybody new (ALWAYS a mistake, in my opinion), keep the great characters of Veronica's dad Pat and ex-husband Bryce, and let "Veronica's Closet" save itself from itself.

    Another NBC hit sitcom, but, unlike some people said, I thought this comedy was very funny, and I watched nearly every episode.Originally, the story was that Veronica "Ronnie" Chase (played by Kirstie Alley) runs a successful lingerie company. He best friend Olive (Sister Act's Kathy Najimy) is her secretary, with Josh (Wallace Langham), Leo (Daryl Mitchell) and Perry (Dan Cortese) rounding out the rest of the cast. Pat Prosky also starred in the first season as Ronnie's dad.The second season saw Ronnie co-own her company with Alex, who falls in love with Ronnie, but "tragically" dies at the end of the 2nd season after a volcanic accident.The third season was the final one, after Veronica's Closet got the chop. Sporting a new theme song, and a new hair colour for Kirstie Alley, the third season introduced us to Ronnie's new co-owner, June (Lorri Bagley) who inherited Alex's half of the company after a romantic weekend away.We also found out that Josh was gay, and later, Olive makes millions of dollars over an Internet company, and buys out June's half of Veronica's Closet.Since VC ended halfway through 2000, Alley has been very quiet. Daryl Mitchell and Dan Cortese have both played teachers (Daryl on 10 Things I Hate About You, and Dan or 'That's Life'), while Kathy hasn't been heard of either.It wasn't as good as NBC's other hit, 'Friends', but a lot better than Brooke Shield's 'Suddenly Susan', which sitcom seemed to mirror Kirstie's (or maybe the other way around), but in the three short years it was on air, there were plenty of laughs.
