Suddenly Naked

There is a lot of punch in this little movie! It is intellectually witty and engaging without becoming too much of a farce. The dialog is laced with scarcasm and bite and draws the audience to relax and just enjoy the ride. Wendy Crewson is fabulous! She shoulders most of the movie (which is a real treat for her fans!) and she does so with effortless grace. We laugh with her, we cry with her, and we cringe FOR her in some scenes! Suddenly Naked is simply a treat! Watch it expecting to be entertained, and you will be!

It was a witty, fun, hilarious movie. Wendy Crewson was dead-on as the bitter writer who falls in love with a younger man. I thought she worked well with Joe Cobden, and Peter Coyote as well.

The movie was well-written and well-directed. It had lots of snappy dialogue, and a lot of scenes with Wendy's character and Joe's character bantering back and forth. They were good at this and made it very believable.

The scenes showing Wendy's character with her book agent were funny too. Between the agent and Peter Coyote's character Lionel, there were plenty of good foils for Jackie (Wendy's character) to play off of. I loved this movie!

Stumbling upon this film was quite a pleasant surprise for me. Seeing the name of Peter Coyote was enough to warrant my time. Little did I know I would be laughing out loud in response to this smart quickly paced dialogue. Slowly but surely the deep-seated vulnerabilities of these over-the-top personalities rise to the surface. I would love to gather a group of friends to view this little "gem" of a film. An endless round-robin of comments and spirited discussion would surely follow.

I thought Suddenly Naked was a clever and intelligent piece of film-making. My only real negative was the lead's character development near the end. Things happened too suddenly. I understand and appreciate "moments of realization" but this felt too easy.

Other than this one negative I did appreciate how much was accomplished on a moderate budget. It's a shame how few people are exposed to such works. This film, unlike most, allows the audience to actually think. You consider social barriers and self image. I found myself wondering on the weight I give to opinion of others.

Locations were excellent as was casting. It is difficult to compare this to other films such as Harold and Maude as it is not such a romp. I do think, however, that those who appreciated Harold and Maude may enjoy this film.

I will watch Suddenly Naked a second time. That is the best evidence of how I feel about this film.

Well, I would like to tell those very few people who didn't like Suddenly Naked to take another look at the film. This movie is simply Fabulous!! Hurrah for Canadian Films!!!You can't go away from this movie without having a great, uplifting feeling which is much needed nowadays! It is charming, witty and even shocking at moments and keeps you on the edge of your seat with it's fun, quirky characters. I believe the direction Anne Wheeler took the film was definitely the way to go, keeping it light and witty with an underlining edge of urgency in order to achieve that special comedic timing....I love it!!! Wendy Crewson, what can I say, what a cool woman, she was so free and committed to her work and was just a delight to watch, what an incredible personality. I love the way being with a younger man brought out her youthful personality.......as well as the HEATED quality...very sexy!!! The pacing of the movie was right on and paired nicely with the mood of the film...way to go Anne Wheeler, you never cease to amaze me. The direction is fabulous, the acting is charming and if you want a little SPICE added to your life, this movie is a Gem and a must see!!!
