VHS Movie Reviews of Isn't She Great [VHS]
Movie Review: Not Really "Great" but It's fun if you like Midler
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got the DVD and had not seen the movie since it was released several years ago now. Watching it again, I could see that Bette Midler didn't really even try to BE Jackie she just played it as bette midler saying Words that Jackie would (or may have) said in any of the given situations of her life. Now thinking back to what a great performace Midler gave in the "Rose" I am not sure what she was thinking here-but I liked it the first time (aka-I am big midler fan) and and I enjoyed it again (Aka-I am Midler fan) not sure if you were not a big midler fan that you would enjoy her playing Jackie but again if you are-it's a fun 90 mintues.
Summary of Isn't She Great [VHS]
Most people probably approached Isn't She Great looking for a screaming camp-fest, only to discover a surprisingly sincere love letter to trash-novelist Jacqueline Susann, author of Valley of the Dolls and Once Is Not Enough. Bette Midler plays the brash, self-obsessed Susann, who started as a struggling actress yearning for fame and not too picky about what she was famous for. Fortunately, she catches the eye of personal manager Irving Mansfield (Nathan Lane), who seems to have no particular skills either but who is so passionately devoted to his client that he marries her. It's Irving who first suggests that Susann write a book about the sordid lives of celebrities and beautiful people, and Irving who pushes the book to publisher after publisher with dogged devotion. The movie lurches a bit in Susann's early life--it wants to approach the difficulties of Susann's life (an autistic son, breast cancer) with a mixture of sentimentality and irreverence, which doesn't always mesh--but once Valley of the Dolls finds a publisher, the movie finds its legs. The ever-dependable David Hyde Pierce plays the uptight WASP assigned to edit Susann's manuscript, and much mileage is gotten out of the conflict between Pierce's blue-blood manner and Midler's broad Jewish glitz. John Cleese and Stockard Channing also provide able support. Paul Rudnick's script shows a genuine affection for its heroine; Rudnick also wrote the screenplays for Addams Family Values and In and Out. --Bret FetzerComedy VHS Video
