Summary: Looking Back with Love
Review: A tantalizing performance by Kathleen Turner. Anyone with a soul sometimes wants to go back in life to discover the great " what if" In this film Peggy Sue gets that chance to possibly change her life by going back ..there!Turner pulls it all off in grand style. The realities she learns are not as profound as she might think they are. Nevertheless , viewing this film might provoke a " thought" journey because its done so well and with care. Watch for Leon Ames and other older stars. Written by Jerry Leichtling and Arlene Sarner.

Summary: Back to the Future meets Middle Age Angst.
Review: Actually, this film is not a bad effort. Kathleen Turner was in good form, and was supported by a group of talented actors, with the surprising exception of Nicholas Cage. His role as Turners boyfriend/husband was grating and ineffectual. His character is supposed to be a frustrated young man aspiring to be a rock star(boyfriend), and a middle aged crazy philandering furniture salesman (husband). However, Cage presents both past and future versions as an egocentric dweeb with a particularly annoying nasal voice. In the real world of high school, or anywhere else, a woman like Kathleen Turner would have told the arrogant twit to take a hike (and hire a voice coach) with nary a second glance. Aside from this one (albeit major) casting error, the film is enjoyable. The twist of having the heroine (Turner) sent back in time, apparently to change an unpleasant future, and then find that she is unable to despite her knowledge of what is to come is novel. A trifling annoyance is the willingness of several characters to quite matter of factly accept her claims of time travel (hardly a common occurrence in 1960), which does stretch the believablilty factor a bit. But hey, this is a romantic fantasy. A nice Saturday night popcorn and chick flick type of movie. 3 stars out of 5, mainly due to Nicholas Cage's abysmal performance.

Summary: Stupid
Review: Although Kathleen Turner does an admirable job salvaging this film, there is very little I can do to recommend it. Nicholas Cage is painfully bad.

Summary: good one, but could have been done much better
Review: generally good film, but you would expect it to be much better considering the producer was coppola. kathleen turner's performance is solid, and she proved once again that she is a talented acress. episode when she wakes up at home n years back in her life is truly a masterpiece. what makes it bad is nicolas cage's AWFUL (too bad i couldnt use larger font) acting, which is totally out of the context and totally inconsistent with film story. plot, although romantic, has holes big enough you can lead a herd of camels thru. so, just relax and enjoy. you may also be delighted to see helen hunt, who 11 years later will be the main female character in "as good as it gets" and jim carrey.

Summary: Tearjerker
Review: I cannot watch this movie without crying, endlessly. It really makes you realize that you should live for the moment. It makes you extremely nostalgic to the point of tears... tears... and more tears... almost depressing after a while... If you want a good cry, rent this....

Summary: THE MIRROR HAS BROKEN
Review: I consider Francis Coppola as one of the five best directors of the last 30 years. Even in his less successful movies, there is still the sparkle of the genius. And ONE FROM THE HEART which was a huge flop, critical and popular, is, in my opinion, a masterpiece, along with APOCALYPSE NOW and THE GODFATHER, part I, II and III. Now why would Francis Coppola be interested in the screenplay of PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED, a light and nostalgic comedy about life and its disenchantments ? Perhaps the subject touched him because of the recent fall of Zoetrope Studios which, at this time, was falling apart with Coppola's dreams and money. In this perspective, PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED is a formidable statement of a bleeding director : " If I could live again now, knowing what I know, I won't change a thing ! ". Speaking of perspective, let's observe that there aren't any mirrors in the real world of Peggy Sue, Coppola choosing to shoot the back of another actress when Kathleen Turner faces her mirror. This creates an uneasiness in the audience because we have the impression that Peggy Sue will jump out of the mirror. Great idea of an always innovative director. You will have understood that PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED is a movie you can watch several times and still discover another little pearl hidden in it. That's cinema. And I like it this way. A DVD for your library.

Summary: What was it like when my Mom and Dad got married?
Review: I have added it to my list of movies to make me smile when when the world is most challenging - The American President, While You Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Splash, Father of the Bride and many other heart warmers. This movie takes you back. It historically captures the times of the Baby Boomer's Mom and Dad's highschool graduation. It also allows you to happily close your eyes and imagine the possibility of seeing, speaking with and hugging those you've lost over the decades. The story is very tender, endearing and sensitive. I was surprised when I saw that it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (who also owns my favorite Napa vineyard, Neibaum-Coppola, where my favorite Merlot is produced). There is no darkness, violence or eeriness. Only light joy, touching moments and the meaning of family. What would you do differently, if you had another chance?

Summary: This film is memorable
Review: I have stopped counting the number of times that I have seen this film. I will always return to it over and over again. It is a great movie to watch when it is simply a lazy day or a rainy day. A very enjoyable movie...And it has a very young Jim Carey in it!
