Moviehole - 10/10 by Clint MorrisNever had I thought like cutting up a video tape
User Review - 10/10 by Susie GThis was such an amazing movie and I can't find it anywhere-netflix, blockbuster, nada! I just remember it was quirky and funny and really sweet.
User Review - 10/10 by Catrin RIt was a long time ago I saw this one but I have seen it many times and I just love it.
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen MAn avid fan of British films, I was very excited to see the cast list of Getting It Right, back in '89 when it was released. I didn't know who Jesse Birdsall was (but I have been a fan since) but I LOVED Judy Parfitt, John Gielgud, Peter Cook, Helena Bonham Carter, Pat Heywood and the great Lynn Redgrave. This would also be my introduction to Jane Horrocks. What I found when I saw the film was this quirky little comedy about some very real people with some idiosyncracic behavioural patterns. Each character is a delight to watch (except, perhaps, for Harry, the whiny best friend - ech; no wonder Winthrop left), especially the odd mother who makes curry that burns the roof off your mouth. This is one of Lynn Redgrave's most interesting characters and most compelling performances. For most of the movie she plays an eccentric and aloof millionairess who hides behind disguises; there are, though, a few scenes in which the pretense is dropped and she stands naked (literally) before Gavin and the audience and allows her vulnerability to show. It is a truly magnificent perforamnce, fully realized and totally beautiful. My favourite scene with her is the heart wrenching scene when she and Gavin say goodbye and she says "Don't worry about being loved. Worry about loving. It's far more important." Jesse Birdsall is a wonderful leading man, full of character and charm and good looks. It is impossible to not cheer for him. It is also impossible to not cheer for GETTING IT RIGHT.
User Review - 8/10 by Alabaster Jit was the first time i saw helena do something outside of merchant ivory and that was it i knew she would be fantastic in anything and i would see them ALL
User Review - 6/10 by Caleb MGetting It Right doesn't strain itself, but it's a fun light comedy with some fun moments and performances. The description is a bit misleading, as Gavin (the main character) isn't really such a social recluse, and breaks out of his shell pretty early in the film. The film is hindered a bit by his ever-present narration, but as the film doesn't want to be much more than an enjoyable way to pass 100 minutes, it's not much of a bother. A fun little British comedy, and only on VHS!
User Review - 2/10 by Patricio Pis watching Lynn Redgrave channel David Bowie, and is embarrassed for everybody involved.
