| | babylove 08/29/2007 | | Although I loved this movie very much, there should have been more love scenes between Jack and Ennes. And Jack should have not died. |

| | Would make a great parody | El Groggo 02/17/2007 | | This movie is so dreadful that it's hypnotic. I kept watching it because I really thought it HAD to be a parody of sexual mores in the '90s. But apparently this guy (Schaeffer) is serious. If this movie was even sexy, I could forgive it. Nah. The 'writing' (you should excuse the expression) is so embarrassing that I began to appreciate my 10-year-old daughter's attempts at idyllic poetry. I kept wondering: how this guy even got this film made, who financed it, and why NO ONE, apparently, told him how awful and ridiculously unbelievable it was. There are tremendous talents out there who just can't get a break, and this DRECK (probably too good a word for it) passes the test. Don't get it. |

Popeye 1980 PG, 114 min.
Genre: Family / Comedy / Musical / Romance
Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley, Paul L. Smith, Wesley Ivan Hurt, Richard Libertini, Linda Hunt, Donald Moffat, MacIntyre Dixon, Roberta Maxwell, Donovan Scott, Allan F. Nicholls, Bill Irwin, Robert Fortier
This financially less-than-successful rendition of the cartoon character who is "strong to the finish because he eats his spinach" is still OK, but slow, fare as Robin Williams plays the "human" version of Popeye the sailorman, and Shelley Duvall plays the light of his life, Olive Oyl. Popeye and Olive Oyl get together, and Popeye adopts Swee'pea (Wesley Ivan Hurt), but problems lie ahead with Bluto (Paul L. Smith).
