| User ReviewStephanie Ki watched this when i was little. it had this old comic spoof thing going...i like the kitschiness of it. it is playful |
| User ReviewAllan CThis is a really poorly paced film, but Brooke Shields is dazzling in it. And it's always a treat to see Timothy Dalton on screen. |
| User ReviewJames RCaught this whilst I was on holiday; had it not been for all the other channels being a completely different language, I would've switched over. As it happens I sat through the whole thing. The main plot concerns an animator who draws himself into the life of Brenda Starr (Brooke Shields) and follows her round the world looking for a scoop about a man who invented a new form of petrol. What follows is a fairly drab film, full of set piece slapstick humour and bad characters, there's nothing particularly redeeming about the film and the characters retain the two dimensionality of their comic-book personas. This film is watchable, you might smile a little throughout, but I'd recommend just not bothering in the first place. |
| User ReviewPrivate UOriginally filmed in 1986, BRENDA STARR wasn't released theatrically in the United States until 1992. Why? Well, it's just not that good. I mean, I enjoyed it; it's a fun, mindless little flick. What's wrong with it is hard to really put into words. Anyway, based on a comic strip, the film is about an animator who draws himself into the story and goes along with Ms. Starr on an adventure. On another note, I have never really found Brooke Shields very attractive until I saw her in this. |
| User ReviewEric HDead on arrival insult to the comic with terrible performances. The only thing this has going for it are the traffic stopping outfits worn by Brooke Shields. Skip it. |
| User ReviewSylvain AEven 'The Blue Lagoon' was better than this drivel. |
| User ReviewJean-Francois V"Brenda Starr" is a really bad TV movie, except for the great period costume designs by Peggy Farrell, who also worked on the "Young Indiana Jones" TV series. |
| User ReviewAshley HBrenda Starr is a disappointing film. It is about a journalist who goes into the depths of a South American jungle as she researches a story. Brook Shields and Timothy Dalton give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Robert Ellis Miller did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. |
