Leave your thoughts about Up Close & Personal.
| MovieholeClint MorrisIt doesn't get anymore romantic than this |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA perfectly respectable effort, but with all the talent involved it could have been better. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenWhat Up Close and Personal" is really about is the chemical reaction set off between Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford. In a love story, if your two stars don't click, all is lost. When they do--as they do here--nothing else really matters. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelIs it worse as a love story or as a drama about the sorry state of television news? The answer: It's a tie. |
| User Reviewsally hOne of my favorite movies with one of my favorite songs.. because you loved me. |
| User ReviewCassie HPfeiffer stars as Tally aka Sally who is a young and naive journalist who desperately wants to become a news anchor & enlists the help of a news director, Warren Justice (Robert Redford), to help Tally accomplish her dreams. With a beautiful and tragic story of true love and Celine Dion's Because You Love Me, this movie is simply wonderful and incredibly touching and holds a special place in my heart. |
| User Reviewtara mNot a big fan of Robert Redford, but by the end of this film... I think it was truly sold to me when I first heard the lyrics to Celine Dion's "Because you loved me." It's a great tear-jerker. |
| User ReviewBetty MAs a journalist, this is my kind of movie!!! It's one of the best bittersweert love story's out there and Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" makes me cry everytime. |
| User Reviewfiona cGod a box of tissues just is not enough for this film Michelle is great in this flick |
| User ReviewJill AMaybe it's because I was a broadcasting major, but I doubt it. I love this movie. I can watch it anytime! |
