Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzNever scores the belly laughs it desires.
Film Snobbery - 5/10 by Phil HallIf it never soars, at least it hums along with a cheery, sloppy abundance of goodwill.
User Review - 10/10 by Jessica FFor pete's sake, if you haven't seen this, go see it now!
User Review - 10/10 by Nancy BAbsolutely adorable! I thought I'd die laughing in some parts. Very cute and well-acted. I was glad that Barbra only sang the song during the credits tho. As much as I love her voice, I get annoyed if she magically finds reason to sing in every movie. I loved it!
User Review - 10/10 by April MIt was good... you just want to slap some of the characters but I own it so it's good.
User Review - 10/10 by Susan JI have to tell you this was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and if you haven't had a chance to see Barbara Streisand in comedy, You need to...I want to buy this movie
User Review - 8/10 by Jonathan WA little seen, light-as-air romantic comedy that even escapes some Streisand fans, "For Pete's Sake" - while not one of Bab's more memorable films - is still entirely delightful. The humor is a little more subtle than some of her better known comedies ("The Owl and the Pussycat", "What's Up, Doc?"), but overall it's one chuckle-worthy little film, and 100% enjoyable, although (in true fairy tale fashion) everything tidies up a little too conveniently in the end. Still, if you're in the mood for a playful romantic comedy, give this one a look.
User Review - 6/10 by Ralph RI actually really like this movie. It is just silly fun. No profundities, nothing too serious. It's Barbra and some weird johns, a loan shark, a madame, a smart ass maid and a bunch of cattle. What more do you need for an inane 70s comedy that was trying to be a second What's Up Doc? The dvd has a director's commentary that is, sometimes, kind of interesting. My personal favourite moments: When the dog is barking at her on top of the subway car and she screams. When she runs into the cops and says "no, no! There's a pervert chasing me!" When the maid says "I can't use ya, I already got a Puerto Rican" and Barbra gives her that deadpan look and says "mmm mmm!" Please note the stupidity of Michael Sarrazin wearing underpants to film the bathtub scene. Stupid
User Review - 6/10 by Adrienne LMuch funnier than I was expecting it to be, fast moving and very amusing. It's Barbra Streisand's film all the way, but Molly Picon has a funny supporting role. Entertaining.
User Review - 6/10 by Janice Lgotta love streisand's character in this movie.
