VHS Movie Reviews of Brenda Starr (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]

Movie Review: fantastic comedy-adventure
Summary: 5 Stars

Brooke Shields is more beautiful than ever in BRENDA STARR, a cute comedy-adventure-mystery based on the buxom comic-strip character.

As the journalist Brenda Starr, Shields has a ball. In each scene, she is priceless, and ravishing in Bob Mackie's cavalcade of wonderful costumes.

Diana Scarwid also is wonderful, as Brenda's arch-rival Libby Lips. Also of note are June Gable, Jeffrey Tambor, Tony Peck and Charles Durning.

Timothy Dalton, as Brenda's suave love-interest Basil St John, has charisma and charm to spare. The adventure builds as Brenda travels deep into the Amazon to retrieve a miracle formula that could save or destroy the world.

BRENDA STARR was mauled by critics and audiences alike when first released. In fact the film was delayed and kept on the shelf for 7 years before being officially released. A decade later, BRENDA STARR has been re-discovered by new and old audiences alike as an enjoyable farce that doesn't need to be taken seriously.

Delightful viewing.

Movie Review: Diana Scarwid steals the show!
Summary: 3 Stars

This movie is pretty much as awful as people say--but if you love that terrific, underrated actress Diana Scarwid (Mommie Dearest, Silkwood, Truman) as much as I do you won't be disappointed by her comedy performance as Brenda Starr's nemesis Libby Lips. Scarwid looks ten times more gorgeous than Sheilds and she definitely outclasses her as an actress. That garter belt scene is a classic!

Movie Review: Great Film for Pure Fun
Summary: 4 Stars

Bad reviews cannot hold down a deliciously fun movie and a super campy script. Brenda Starr is a wonderful little film that is silly for sure, but funny. Brooke Shields never looked better and kids will love the action and the witty script. No it's not some arty-farty Hollywood nosh-nosh thing, sorry on that count. What it is is just an old fashioned funny movie worth seeing. Rent it, buy it, see it; whatever. . . just sit back and enjoy.

Movie Review: Like a comic book come to life (in more ways than one)
Summary: 3 Stars

It's like stepping into a Dick Tracy or Modesty Blaise comic. Speaking about Dick Tracy, it made me think of the Warren Beatty movie with that name, this movie has the same kind of 4-colour comic book atmosphere.
