Rich and Famous

What a tedious exercise this flick is. The decades long friendship between a writer of highbrow elitist woman’s fiction(Jacqueline Bisset) and one of lowbrow pop romances (Candice Bergen) is not only uninteresting it’s unbelievable. Bisset makes her character palatable but the makers of this dreck villify Bergen’s character making her an unbearably shrill shrew. A more accomplished actress could have engendered sympathy for their character but marginally talented actress like Bergen is not up to the task. “Rich and Famous” commits the cardinal sin of not being quite bad enough but only being mediocre.
Rating: 2 / 5

In this movie Jacquleine Bissett plays Liz, a successful writer. Her best friend played by Candice Bergen isn’t too bright and she has no imagination so she decides she wants to become a writer too!!! Liz spends the entire length of this movie drinking way too much Scotch, indulging in promiscuous sexual behaviour and having dramatical hysterical outburst about her sad love life and writing ability. Is this lady in severe need of some Serious Heavy Duty Medication and Therapy or what?This would have to be one of the most overrated and overhyped movies to ever come out of Hollywood. I give this movie 5 stars because Ms. Bissett does look pretty good in it.
Rating: 5 / 5

Though released in 1981, this seems horribly dated today, with the male leads all but invisible and the storyline unsure whether to be a comedy or a drama. It’s neither. It’s just plain awful. The two women, Candace Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset have zero chemistry, so why they are lifelong friends is a mystery here. Mostly they scream at each other in supposed jealous rages over their careers and men. Made by a Hollywood dinosaur, George Cukor, this one is of use only as a curiosity piece. I found it agonizing.
Rating: 1 / 5

My opinion of films (other than horror or sci-fi category) is worthless since based upon the category of the hottie involved (and whether I would like to record or obtain for subsequent viewing). This film has a Category A HR (Hottie Rating). (Note: Provided the A rated hottie is not motioinless throughout, the film may otherwise be a complete “dog”.)
Rating: 5 / 5

This movie is an old favorite and depicts the enduring friendship between two women whose lives have diverged over the years, but who find that their bond transcends all their differences.
