Leave your thoughts about Rich and Famous.
| Washington PostJudith MartinConsidering neither Bisset nor Bergen had ever shown the slightest acting ability before in movies, their performances in the Bette Davis/Miriam Hopkins roles in this loose reworking of Old Acquaintance are very capable. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertInsights into human nature don't seem to be the point of the movie, anyway. It's a slick, trashy, entertaining melodrama, with too many dumb scenes to qualify as successful. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottThe lead performances, by Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen as two college friends who become competing novelists in later life, have the Cukor audacity without the Cukor grace, and his visual expressiveness is in evidence only sporadically. Yet the film stays in the mind for its dark asides on aging, loneliness, and the troubling survival of sexual needs. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe movie can't make up its mind whether it's about a tumultuously difficult but rewarding friendship or whether it's a sendup of the contemporary literary scene. It fails as both. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldThe new movie adorned with this sure-fire title happens to be a tacky and disreputable attempt at a sophisticated comedy about women writers. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelThis could have been--and is--a very funny film; unfortunately, most of the laughs are unintentional. |
