VHS Movie Reviews of Butterflies Are Free [VHS]
Movie Review: PISS POOR COMPANY
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not rating the dvd one star.. I am rating the sellers with a 0. I never received this product from this seller. I tried to contact them 2 times, and got ignored... DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!! ever!!! Movie Review: Sweet and charming
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is very much of its time, not just with the groovy clothes and all the talk about hippies. The cinematography and acting style all seem very dated. It's basically the stage play in front of a camera--nearly all the action takes place in Don's apartment, and the delivery of the lines is very stage-y. The clever quips are charming but also are very typical of a Broadway play.
However, I still really enjoyed the movie. While it seemed stiff in many ways, the characters are amazingly complex. Don, the young blind man, doesn't just want to be independent of his mother, he wants to be treated like a regular person by everyone. Jill is a free spirit, but her flightiness is a mask for real emotional scars. And even Don's mother who comes off as a stereotype at first grows and changes over the course of the film.
Edward Albert is handsome in a Ken-doll kind of way, and while he's a good actor, he speaks in a very affected way that was occasionally annoying. He's hit or miss at playing blind; he's more convincing in some shots than others. But Goldie Hawn really shines. This film was impossible to find for a long time. I'm really glad it's out on DVD finally.
Movie Review: Love Comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
Based on the play of the same name this is the story of a blind youmg man,Don Baker(Edward Albert) who has his mind set to make his own life for himself despite his handicap. He leaves the security of his parent's home and takes an apartment in San Francisco; he promises his mother(Eileen Heckart)that if he cannot make it on his own in three months he will return home. His first acquaintance is his next door neighbor, Jill Tanner(Goldie Hawn), an aspiring actress; she is enthralled with his sense of humor and they become fast friends and lovers. This ideal situation is wrecked, naturally by his overpowering, overly protective mother and the fact that Jill lands a job and the producer wants her to perform not only on screen or stage but also off screen or stage.Movie Review: Interesting.
Summary: 3 Stars
Butterflies are Free is about a young blind man who wants to live on his own and declare his independence. Goldie Hawn and Eileen Heckart make up the supporting cast, they give excellent performances. This movie is based on play so don't expect a lot of scenery changes. Good movie but not brilliant, and if you don't mind watching Goldie Hawn walk around in her bra and panties for half of the film, give it a viewing. Enjoy!Movie Review: This is a cute movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very cute movie I especially love the scene where Goldie Hawn combs his hair and it looks exactly the same way as it did before she combed it.
