| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | This movie was amazing! It was heartwarming, but also offered some sharp satire to laugh at. It is one of my favorites now that I've seen it, and I hope others get the chance to see it as well. Christina Ricci was great as that peppy perfect sorority girl and Hank Harris was incredible as sweet Pumpkin, who has the most beautiful soul you've ever seen. I've seen it twice already, and hoping to see it even more. Jump at the chance to see Pumpkin if you can because it was wonderful. I'm only 14, but even I saw the heart wrenching message behind this movie: Love isn't always perfect. |

| User Review |
| | Underated 70's comedy deserving re-appraisal | Tap Reffahs 10/22/2007 | Sharp vivid and under rated 70's comedy with Elaine May script, and exceptional performance by Dyan Cannon in a sassy turn that fits the era, her unique and delightful personality deserving of more credit for this - and better roles like it to have vaulted her into the first rank of actresses in the 70's.
Preminger assembled a cast of pros that had performed with his direction before, such as Burgess Meredith, and newcomer Jennifer O'Neill, so refreshing in "Summer of '42". Her lustrous beauty - in addition to Dyan Cannon's effervescent smile and the cast of talented stage and screen talents - should have jelled into a strong comedy of it's era - having fallen through the cracks at the time - it is damn good and deserving of the audience that has become loyal to it through the years, awaiting a DVD release pronto - and the long delayed and deserved praise NOW. |
