An unsuccessful over-the-top actress becomes a successful over-the-top author in this biography of Jacqueline Susann, the famed writer of "Valley of the Dolls" and other trashy novels. Facing a failing career, Susann (Bette Midler) meets a successful promoter who becomes her husband. After several failures to place her in commercials and a television quiz show, he hits upon the idea for her to become a writer. In the early 1960s, her books were looked upon as trash and non-printable. But then the sexual revolution hit and an audience was born for her books. The story shows the hidden behind the scenes story of Susann's life, including her autistic son and her continuing bout with cancer that she hid up to her death.
Leave your thoughts about Isn't She Great.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittUnexpectedly entertaining, if you're willing to put up with the picture's stagy look, over-the-top moods, and heavy doses of vulgarity. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrA surprisingly warm and engaging entertainment - brassy, schmaltzy, funny. |
| New York PostLou LumenickIsn't great, but it's an enjoyable if overly discreet and romanticized look at a long-vanished show-business world. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyIt's peppy and cheesy and filled with life and humor in just the way, you imagine, that Susann might have enjoyed. |
| TNT RoughCutSarah RaskinAs brain candy goes, Isn't She Great is just that and a little bit more. |
| Film.comRobert HortonGood enough in spots to make you wish it could have sustained its campier inclinations. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA cupcake of a movie, a sweet and lightweight little thing that's all but served up in a ruffled paper cup. |
| Austin ChronicleRussel SmithAn ideal diversion for one of those evenings when low expectations feel more like a state of grace than a surrender to vice. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchThe script plays like a series of sketches, some too thin and some broadly overdone. |
| CinemaSense.ComCornell & PetricelliSome funny moments and strong cast, but ultimately a disappointing story with little depth or interest. |
