| | Imperfect for sure, but a classroom in comic timing | 1fatts 03/14/2007 | The third act is unnecessary and unbelievable. The finale is so artificial that it passeth all justification.
But Bogdanovich is a master of comic timing. (Watch the opening scenes of "What's Up Doc?" sometime.) And this movie is worth the price of admission just to watch the timing in the first two acts. The actors are one-dimensional, but it is a farce, and they are meant to be one-dimensional. We expected this level of work from Carol Burnett -- frankly, we saw it every week on TV for years -- bit John Ritter is a revelation as a physical comic and Christopher Reeve is really quite good as an understated comic foil.
Watch the first half anyway. If fact, watch it twice. |
