Summary: Nothing Special on This DVD
Review: "For Pete's Sake" is a "cute" film at best and Streisand does have some funny moments (she's such a great film comedian! She needs to do more comedies!), however if you are looking at this DVD for the "extras" (theatrical trailers and director's commentary) skip it! If you are the type who loves to hear director's talk about why they selected this angle or that shot or how the film was actually made -- you know, what a director's commentary is supposed to be -- then you will be truly disappointed in this DVD. Peter Yates must have wonderful stories to tell, but I think he recorded this in his sleep. There is so much dead air -- too many missed opportunities to talk about making the film! Instead he focuses on Barbra's hair, Barbra's figure and -- of all things -- the size of the automobiles in the background of a shot "It's amazing how big the cars were in those days... they really have got smaller. Thank God, because there wouldn't be much room on the road if they had stayed this size." No, Mr. Yates, it's not amazing, it's boring. Unfortunately, his facts aren't accurate either (refering to this film as Barbra's first non-singing role). Oh well. Also, the theatrical trailers are the same as the ones on "The Way We Were" DVD (including trailers for "Way We Were", "For Pete's Sake", "Prince of Tides" and "Mirror Has Two Faces"). If you want a light, funny film, check this out, but don't get "For Pete's Sake" for the DVD extras.

Summary: Puerto Ricans Rejoice!
Review: A funny, salty film FOR PETE'S SAKE features one of the funniest scenes in a Streisand film.Henry and Loretta argue over the latter's less than perfect housekeeping abilities and that she would 'charge extra to answer phones'. Henry: 'You come one day a week for four hours. . . you get $2.75 an hour plus carfare and all the cookies you can eat. . .you pay me that and I'll come eat your cookies and clean your apartment.' Loretta: 'Can't use ya. Already got a Puerto Rican'. Always a laugh.

Summary: review
Review: A wonderful, feel-good film! Streisand is a natural comic(and New Yorker). She plays the supporting and vivacious wife of the unsuspecting Pete, who seeks to better their life together through a stock investment. Streisand jumps through hoop after proverbial hoop to get him the money to make the investment, then pay it back, to an assortment of shady characters. Sarrazin is superb as the gentle and innocent Pete.

Summary: Aptly Titled
Review: Avoid at all costs. Streisand at her most obnoxious, weaker material than a Nick-At-Nite "Facts Of Life" marathon. Wear a life preserver if you have to sit through it because it starts sinking right away.

Summary: Good Streisand film
Review: Barbra Streisand plays Henry, a young housewife who tries to help her cash-strapped husband make ends meet in FOR PETE'S SAKE, a delightful little comedy which is very much like her offbeat roles in THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT and WHAT'S UP, DOC?. Pete (Michael Sarrazin), works as a cab driver, but the couple seems to be always in the red, finance-wise, so Henry decides to borrow some money so they can buy some shares. She gets the money from a loan shark (big mistake), and soon Henry is taking in all forms of shady work to earn the money back, even dealing with Mafia-esque criminals and working as a "glorified callgirl". Streisand and Sarrazin have a great chemistry, and it shows. They are ably supported by the fantastic Estelle Parsons and Molly Picon.

Summary: a must see for babs fans & those who love early 70s flicks.
Review: I have been looking for this video everywhere. I saw the movie years ago and have fond memories of the slap-stick humor of this and other early Streisand movies. (ie: What's up Doc? ) Maybe its the storyline in which young people, in love, struggle with day to day life in the big city and come upon a winfall fortune that enables them to make their dreams come true, riding off into the sunset to live happily ever after....pure escapism at its best...I loved it. HOW ABOUT A SEQUEL? ...but not one that takes itself too seriously, rather, one that is retro to the early, carefree, funny and very entertaining Streisand movies.

Summary: My favorite Streisand comedy
Review: I just love this movie.It's still funny after 25 years.The best part is when the Bull and Cows run right through the Movie screen during the Western,and Barbra's shouting,"Girls,come back here." I love Mrs Cherry,and Barbra's try at being one of her call girls.Not only is Streisand one of the greatest singers will ever know,but a great comedian as well. Along with"The Owl and the Pussycat," this is my favorite Barbra Streisand comedy.

Summary: Not so funny but exceptable
Review: I only both this movie because in it their is Streisand and I love it when she acts in comedy movies.Their was no new material in this movie.What I meen is that it was similar to "Whats Up Doc?" and "The Main Event".The comedy material was the same and it wasnt that funny either.It was a little disapointing but foregiving.
