Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Armand it is her movie. amusing, nice, with few sparkles and almost seductive.page from an old review, drop from other time. a comedy like many others. without great ambitions, childish and not really inspired but good occasion to rediscover an interesting actress. and that is all. far to be waist of time, it is not memorable. only fun from a period , lesson about love and a young Peter Falk. and the cast is basic sin because suggests too many expectations. in essence, a film for Natalie Wood fans. is it enough ? maybe not. but for a gloomy Sunday, cloudy afternoon , it is a not bad solution. maybe for costumes and jeweleries.

MrOllie I saw this film at the cinema when it was originally released and have never ever seen it since. Although I cannot recall a great deal about the film there is one thing I do vividly remember, and that was that the comedy just did not work. The entire film was met with a stony silence that I have never forgotten. It may have been because it was a UK audience who didn't appreciate US humour, but in truth I really don't know why it went down so badly. I hope one day to watch this film again just to see if I can work out why it did not click with the audience. I have not given it a rating because it is such a long time ago since I saw it and remember so little of it.

reesho Alright so it's not the greatest film in the world BUT I must recommend it anyway especially to those fans of the fabulously fun era of the late 60's. That 60's vibe is evident throughout the film. And I was surprised to hear "Johnny" Williams aprapos and quality score complete with Penelope theme song. Natalie Wood as Penelope is stunning and is also featured on a vocal number at the local "beatnik" club (now you don't want to miss that do you?) Peter Falk is the detective on Penelope's trail previewing his future role as Columbo and there are also many recognizable actors of that era in the film as well. Natalie Wood was very depressed over the lack of appreciation for this film but regained her career momentum with the success of "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" 3 years later.

phoenix_cr This was the first flick of Natalie's that I ever laid my eyes on, and, well, what can i say?... I was bedazzled, captivated, and why?, simply because it was Natalie. What is good about this movie?, 1-the cute little 60s outfits she wears!, you have to give her that. She embodied the true meaning of 60's style. 2-All the witty and light-headed arguments between Penelope and her therapist. 3-The persona created by Natalie as her Alterego Penelope seems to me now (with a wider knowledge of Natalie's Cinema) one of the finer representations of the charming and charismatic self that she in fact was, and well.... The movie in its wholesomeness turns to eye-candy before you can finish quoting it's title. If you ever loved her, you love Penelope too.
