VHS Movie Reviews of Incredible Shrinking Woman
Movie Review: Loved it as a kid...still do
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember my parents taking me to this show when I was about 10 years old. I loved it and recently found it again in VHS. I think some scenes with "Edith Ann" in the lab were completely cut out of the VHS version. Anyone know why? Great family film. Now my girls love it too.Movie Review: Unique movie-one of a kind!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 6 years old the very first time i saw this movie!I loved it then and I still love it now!!!Lily Tomlin is hilarious and I would recommend this movie to young or old!!Movie Review: Not as bad as the critics say
Summary: 4 Stars
The Incredible Shrinking Woman came out in 1981 and the movie actually more or less reflected the consumerist attitudes of the time, the dawning of the Reagan administration. The movie wasn't too well liked by the critics, they thought that Lily Tomlin didn't give it her full here and that the script was simply so-so, but actually I thought the movie makes perfect sense. Here Lily Tomlin plays a housewife named Pat Kramer who starts to shink thanks to an intolerance of chemicals in her household items. What was really silly of the film was the gorilla, because it wasn't a real gorilla at all but a person in a gorilla suit. Anyway, this movie is basically a satire on Reagan-era American consumerism and materialism, and I think they did a good job at getting that message across, regardless what the movie critics said of it. Lily Tomlin might be a fine comedienne, but it's too bad that her movie output has been rather inconsistent, ranging from critically acclaimed and well liked films like Nashville (w/Henry Gibson, like Tomlin, a Laugh-In alumni, and Keith Carradine) and All of Me (w/Steve Martin) to total stinkers and box office bombs like Moment by Moment (w/John Travolta). And while the Incredible Shrinking Woman was thought of by the critics as another misguided adventure by Lily Tomlin, it's really a lot better than the critics will let you believe, so give it a watch.Movie Review: An Underappreciated Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Movies like this come along as often as pearls in clams, really they do. This movie is actually more of a drama with slapstick mixed in. To this day I stand by what I've said for a long time, Lily Tomlin is overlooked for her abilities outside of her comedic straightjacket. This film is so childishly humorous, and at the same time very saddening. In the end, you feel all warm all over and are really satisfied. Unfortuantely, one of the other reviews below reveals the ending, but oh well, just try not to look at that if you don't want to know. This is an essential movie, and you should try to locate it in the video store or here on Amazon if it becomes available again. Excellent movie, you will not regret a single penny you spend on it.Movie Review: the incredible shrinking woman
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought that this was one of the best movies ever made, its humorous, witty, and heartwarming all at the same time. The movie seems to be a great metaphor to the real world, the extent that some people will go to for a little bit of power. Tomlin has always been one of my favorites especially in her role of Edith-Ann. I introduced this movie to a number of my friends and those who saw it absolutely loved it. I recommend it to one and all. My suggestion would have been at the time to make a sequel to it showing Pat Kramer growing the way the ending reveals so.
