A vivid demonstration of parental indulgence: Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the Bangles, is directed by her mother, Tamar Simon Hoffs, in a youth comedy about the pre-commencement blowout (or Last Chance Romance) at Pacifica College. It would have been better, or anyhow a shorter route, to go for …
Comic Steve Martin and director Carl Reiner hash over roughly the same idea of their previous The Man with Two Brains. The beautiful body with the ugly personality remains constant, except that the body in this case is Victoria Tennant's instead of Kathleen Turner's. But the beautiful disembodied brain has …

Mike Leigh comes back from his change of pace and change of scene in Topsy-Turvy, back to his normal pace and his old stomping ground, a working-class milieu in modern-day London, more exactly a utilitarian housing complex and three downtrodden families therein. He gives us (among other things) over a …
Gay romantic comedy, not to say lighthearted and jovial especially, about an imperfectly matched couple (one's all-time favorite movie is Gone with the Wind, the other has never seen it: he doesn't like black-and-white) who make repeated and painful attempts to fit together anyway. The original stage play by co-star …

Soap opera at near to its best, and certainly at Douglas Sirk's best. A middle-aged, middle-class widow falls in love with the much younger gardener. What will the children think? The neighbors? The moviegoers? R.W. Fassbinder drew heavily on this, along with bits of Imitation Of Life, for his Ali: …
A sort of 42nd Street with aspirations to Lincoln Center, following the blue-ribbon casserole recipe of Fellini's 8 1/2, of intermingled reality, fantasy, and memory. The changes wrought on the backstage-musical formula by these uptown ambitions are of dubious import: a dizzying, quicker-than-the-eye editing style, a blunt closeup of semen-wetted …
