Summary: One of Kathleen Turner's Best Movies!
Review: The first time I saw "Peggey Sue Got Married"..I fellin love with it!It will probably turn out to be a Classic! Look howmany unknowns were in it and they are all Big Stars today. Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage, Helen Hunt, Jim Carrey and Joan Allen. Francis Ford Coppola is a brilliant director. He knew something about his nephew, Nicolas Cage, then, that we couldn't see.. he is truly a great actor. I taped this movie from H.B.O. and it has finally worn out.. so now I have to purchase it! HaHa!

Summary: Different Kind of Master Piece
Review: This an excellent film to watch primarily bacause all the cast members, including Coppola's daughter who plays Sue's sister in the movie, did a super job of acting their parts. I understand that Miss Kathleen Turner did not want Mr. Cage to be her co-star; however, Coppola wisely insisted that his nephew play the roll Some reviews are critical of Mr. Cage's performance; on the contrary, he does capture the part of that type of kid. I knew several fellas like him when I went to high school in the 40's. With the exception of one scene in which Miss Turner sexually get's involved with the student poet, the entire family can watch the film without being embarrassed. I feel Peggy Sue Got Married will be appreciated in the future like many of us now appreciate "It Happened One Night" with Cable and Colbert. "It Happened One Night," with Cable and Colbert.

Summary: ThisIsWhatTimeTravel IsAllAbout(notgoingbacktothefuture)
Review: This is a suprisingly poignant, genuine, affecting movie and head and shoulders above the over-rated 'Back to the Future'.(Probably because the heroine was alive in the time period she returns to and this gives that time period much greater poignancy, not to mention relevance, than the reliably annoying Michael J. Fox gives to his parent's era. The latter makes mid-50's people seem like idiots because he wasn't born then and clearly knew nothing about those times. I didn't find that dissonance oddly charming or whatever it was supposed to be - just annoying as hell AND PAINFUL to watch. Alot of the characters in that movie were weird, as in unreal, not just strange, and the movie depended on this weirdness for its content, not to mention its (questionable) entertainment value. Peggy Sue is a smooth-flowing exploration of the early 60's from the perspective of the mid 80's combined with teenage experiences from the perspective of a middle-aged mother. This movie has alot of fine moments, as when Kathleen Turner talks to her grandmother on the phone who was deceased in the present time. I've never seen any other time travel movie that makes you gulp like that. Kathleen Turner is great, as are all the supporting actors. Nicholas Cage over-acts and doesn't seem plausible (in real life he wasn't actually born in 1960 and had no feelings for it and actually acted like it was more like 1957 with the hair style and antics), but I guess with his uncle directing it, all that acting was unavoidable. He couldn't ruin this movie but it would have been even better with a more plausible, subtle, even more "square" guy. I really liked the nerdy genius accomplice and the beatnik boyfriend, as these people are certifiably genuine early 1960's people. The Mom, the Dad, the sister, the girlfriends - who wasn't good? This movie is a straight-down-the-middle time trip for baby-boomers and it takes you out of the park. It's filled with pleasing and facile scenes. It is very well-directed and effortless in capturing its goal.

Summary: Not worth a second look.....
Review: This is movie along the lines of Back to the Future, where Kathleen Turner returns to the past to see if she'd marry the same guy all over again (Nicholas Cage). It is a surprisingly refreshing movie, and I liked the idea of the confrontation between Turner and Cage, as Turner returns with the wisdom of age and ends up falling in love with all over again. (So much for wisdom, huh?) I won't spoil it for you, but there's a lot of other dynamics in this movie which makes it special. Recommended.

Summary: What a great movie!!
Review: This movie besides its stars Kathleen Turner, Nicholas Cage,
Jim Carrey and Helen Hunt among others, has the realistic view
of the 50's from the great cars and music to the houses and furniture inside them. The movie shines in all these aspects. To escape into the 50's like this is a real treat to the watcher. You don't have to look at your watch while this movie is showing, because you don't want it to end.

Summary: PLEASE GIVE KATHLEEN TURNER A GOOD ROLE AGAIN...
Review: This movie does have some flaws but due to Kathleen Turner's performance it merits 4 stars. This role was originally supposed to go to that other great actress, who deserves better, Debra Winger. But Turner is brilliant. She actually becomes a teen again but in the same body and that is a real challenge that she was up to. Watch for early roles of Helen Hunt, Joan Allen and Jim Carrey. Turner was very deserving of a Best Actress Nomination (one she should have got for Romancing the Stone AND Serial Mom). I pray that great actresses like Turner and Winger get great roles NOW and not in crap like they have been offered in the past few years. Anyway the DVD of Peggy Sue is totally worthy of purchasing.

Summary: Hilarious and Romantic
Review: This movie is funny, while it is romantic. Nicholas Cage's performance is truly hilarious. With stars like Nick Cage, Kathleen Turner, Joan Allen, and Jim Carrey you know you can't go wrong.
