Truly Dreadful Film
... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreI have watched nearly all of the episodes from all 3 seasons (thank you re-runs on cable) and I have thoroughly enjoyed Veronica's Closet. I bet most of the people who deem it "crappy" are people who have never watched it, and are affixiated on reality television. But I guess everybody's entitled to an opinion. Anyway, Kirstie Alley, Kathy Najimy and the rest of the cast shine. At first I hated Season 2: the original opening sequence was dropped, and Ron Silver was added, but now that I watch it, it was just as quality as Season 1 and 3 (maybe just a bit less so) Many people just seem so hellbent on picking faults of this show - so what if Kirstie Alley was a little chubby?! Must every actress be pencil-thin, eg Callista Flockhart? So what if her hair changed? Why must you think you can blame this show for being crap just because Alley had blonde streaks? Veronica's Closet is an entertaining, funny show. It may not be a classic like Frasier or Seinfeld, but it deserves better than some of these insulting remarks. And it deserves better than being cancelled by NBC.
... View MoreOK, 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.
... View MoreAnother 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.
... View MoreVeronica's Closet was a very funny show, especially in its first and third seasons. But alas, it was the 2nd season that eventually killed it. Ron Silver's character was arrogant, unlikeable and boring. Killing him off in the beginning of the 3rd season was a wise move, but it was too late. Most of the viewers bailed by then. NBC did the right thing by adding the ditzy blonde opposite Veronica, but they failed to put Veronica's Closet in a GOOD time slot. It was cancelled while new episodes were never even aired - until now, on USA Network. Look at NBC now...it's cancelled more shows than any network...they should have just KEPT this show on Thursday nights at 9:30, and it would be enjoying it's 4th season...and so would I!
