Leave your thoughts about California Suite.
| VarietyVariety StaffLess than successful, veering from poignant emotionalism to broad slapstick in sudden shifts. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrMeans middle-class angst covered with a thin veneer of snappy one-liners and presented in the most anonymous directorial style imaginable. |
| The SpectatorTed WhiteheadThe desperation of the director, Herbert Ross, is embarrassingly obvious in the Crazy Gang antics of this foursome. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisDire: good actors playing the worst versions of one-dimensional Neil Simon joke machines. |
| User Reviewtracey cNeil Simon hits all the right notes with this delightful comedy. |
| User ReviewIce RNormally this would have just gotten a 4. The actors all did well in their various roles, but nothing REALLY stood out as jaw droppingly amazing, and it was four separate stories, so there was a lack of continuity and flow between them. But, Cosby and Pryor have a hilarious fight scene. I won't spoil any plot points, but let me just say that it made the movie. |
| User ReviewRay JNeil Simon's play is made brilliantly for the big screen. If you want to see great humor (timing is everything), then you can't miss this nostalgic classic. Mathau is hilarious. |
| User ReviewJulie MI loved the hilarious dialogue and thought this movie was very amusing, engaging and creative. |
| User ReviewKyle BA delightful ensemble comedy written by the amazing Neil Simon. This is one of Simon's best works. Jane Fonda, Alan Alda, Maggie Smith, Michael Caine, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Walter Matthau, and Eliane May are exceptionally hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking depending on the storyline. I loved this movie so much I will watch it over and over for years to come |
| User ReviewTerror AA well-written Neil Simon comedy that has really good performances by it's all star cast. Maggie Smith is the stand out in her Oscar winning performance. |
