Review of Scenes from a Mall (1991) by Fernando C — 01 Aug 2007

I didn't think this film was as bad as I had read, but it sure is no great work either. The acting was good, very good in the case of Bette Midler, but on Woody's part, it's true, his tics are totally out of place, and he's not even close to being a powerful man he's supposed to be.

Her part however, involves absolutely unbelievable lines, as well as a weird reluctance to say the truth she so longs to hear from him. The film is enjoyable, but one isn't quite sure whether it is a comedy, a drama, or an experiment.

It's not terrible, I insist, but you can sure live without it.
