Review of The Woman in Red (1984) by Stephanie A — 04 Aug 2009
Barely funny '80s comedy starring Gene Wilder as a wanna-be adulturer pervert who sees this way-out-of-his-league supermodel (Kelly LeBrock) dressed in red and pursues her, even though he is happily married with 2 kids.
It's ridiculous anyone would fuck Gene Wilder, since he won the "Ugliest Man In The World" contest every year he was alive. (Wait, not sure that he's dead). The funniest part is when he gets a reverse-perm and suddenly has sexy hair like Robert Redford, and everyone makes fun of him.
(Yeah, because his crazy jewfro looks way better). I don't know if he met his wife, Gilda Radner, on this film or if they were already married. Some of the only funny scenes in the whole movie are the ones that she is in (she plays a co-worker who thinks that he wants to go out with her, and ends up keying his car and giving him a flat).
Kelly LeBrock finally caves in during the final act and tries to fuck him, but her husband interrupts and he never gets to. The Woman In Red is just an embarrasing film about secrets, lies, and cheating on your wife.
And there is no one uglier than Gene Wilder on earth. Charles Grodin has a supporting role as the best friend who turns out to be gay, but no one cares. I think he's bald now. And Gene Wilder is dead.
And Kelly LeBrock got fat. Whole movie about people that turned out bald, fat, and dead.
