Summary: Welcome Back Tatum O'Neal
Review: I had just finished watching this film and I must say, I had enjoyed it tremendously. The scenery was beautiful and captured the true essence of the bayou. The story was compelling and really kept the viewer interested. It was very well written and the dialog was extremely intelligent. I must also comment on the wonderful acting delivery of Tatum O'Neal. Far too long has this gifted actress been away from the screen. It was refreshing to watch how she interacted with her co-stars. It was superb. Her mannerism, expressions, and on screen charisma kept me enthralled through the film. I was so glad to see her back!! Enjoy!!!

Review: I think this is the best role I've seen for Tim Curray. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was excellent, but it effectively ruined his career. He's had many roles since, but none as convincing as this.

Tatum O'Neal was amazing. My two images of her are the little girl in Paper Moon and as an adult in this movie.

The movie is not fast-paced. Rather, it gives you an opportunity to absorb the time period and the mind set of people at that time.

This is a movie for people who want to connect, emotionally, with the characters in a non-artificial way. I believe we saw some real acting in this movie, minus the typical hollywood glitz. Emotions weren't jerked out of you, the just come out naturally. There's not a character in this movie that someone can't identify with.

Tatum, you did an excellent job.

Summary: A great period drama.
Review: I think this was a really good movie. It may seem a bit slow in places but that is usual for a drama -- I usually lean toward action or comedy myself. However, this movie had enough going on so I didn't get bored. A very interesting story line and the acting was superb. The actors and actresses picked for this movie showed top class talent. I was very pleased with this movie and gladly add it to my collection.

Summary: Great Acting with a Wonderful Sense of "Place"
Review: I was fortunate to have seen this film when it came out, and I will not repeat the very good reviews it got at the time. I will say, though , that the acting is superb (it is worth price of the DVD just to watch what Tim Curry does with his character)and the film gives a wonderful sense of Place without depending on cilch?s about the currently fashionable Cajun culture. I would also like to complement the writing: the characters are engaging and there are some surprising plot twists - not the kind that are out of character or anachronistic, but the kind that make us realize just how little we were ever taught about this era in American history. Highly recommended.

Summary: Overall .. Very Entertaining
Review: I was very pleased to find "Homefront" at my local blockbuster, as I had heard many interesting things about it. I found the movie to be quite entertaining, and the acting to be above par. Tim Curry was actually very believable as the coniving priest, and it's always a joy to watch Julian Sands. However I believe a new talent has been found in Kurt Gerard, who played one of the German soldiers taken hostage. Although Gerard had limited screen time and dialogue, I felt drawn to his character, and his on-screen prescence. I surely hope we get to see more of him in the future.

Review: Moving World War Drama which brings a welcome return to the screen for the gorgeous TATUM O'NEAL after way too long an absence. The Scoundrels Wife is well-told and played by all and benefits from a strong central emotionally charged performance by Tatum in a film which deserves a wider audience than it will probably get. For fans of w.war drama's and Tatum O'Neal, you won't be disappointed!
