The Women of Brewster Place

Rating:
Summary: Erin's Reveiw
Review: The Movie didnt show how Basil was spoiled as much as the book did. For example, in the book there was a part when Mattie sent Basil up to wash behind his ears and he came back down and didnt do it, so Mattie told him to go back upstairs and do them again but then he kissed Mattie on the cheek and said "I love you". Then she gave in to him and let him get away with not washing behind his ears. In the movie it doesnt show any of that at all.

Summary: brewsters place
Review: The movie the women of brewsters place was a bad movie because there needed to be better acting and casting. It seemed to jump from one scene to the next without having any conection. I thught that it might not have made as much sence if you hadn't read the book which is bad because it should be its own story and not read another one to be able to understand it.

Summary: The Brewster joke
Review: The Women of Brewster Place is a good book but then when you go to see the movie they made on the book you see the movie is a joke. In the book Mattie the main character has a rough time dealing with the baby until she met this one special person named MIss Eva who takes them under her wing. In the book Miss Eva is viewed as a loving caring friend that wants to help Mattie and the baby but in the jokeful movie Miss Eva doesn't give any real likingness to Mattie which destroys everything the book had said. Each character in the movie did a poor job in bringing the book's characters to life. the Depth of the book did not come out in the movie which to me made it a complete and total joke.

Summary: SHAME ON THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THIS FILM
Review: This is one of the best films about black women. I was very happy to see that it was finally a DVD. The DVD version is chopped up something terrible. Many of the scenes have been deleted. When movies are made into DVD, as a rule, there are many extras added. Often times the deleted scenes are part of the DVD. Don't buy the DVD unless you've never seen this movie before. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

Summary: kristen's super cool review
Review: This movie doesn't live up to the book. The characters emotions are downplayed and the details are barely there. The movie left out a lot of information the book provides. The movie left out some very important scenes, such as the one that shows how spoiled Basil is by his mom. I think the movie depicted the characters the same way as the book, but did a poor job presenting the movies different scenes.
