Goosed

I happened to stumble upon the 1999 movie here late in 2020, and I had not even heard about the movie prior to now. I have always enjoyed watching Jennifer Tilly in movies, so of course I found the time to sit down and watch this movie from writer Charbie Dahl and director Aleta Chappelle.

However, "Goosed" was not a particularly grand movie experience that I had been sorely missing out on. Turns out that writer Charbie Dahl didn't really muster to conjure up an overly entertaining story. I mean, the concept of the movie was definitely adequate, but the events that transpired throughout the course of the movie just didn't really work out all that well. The storyline ended up being somewhat flaccid and too mainstreamed.

While the movie suffered from having an inadequate script and storyline, then Jennifer Tilly definitely managed to make the movie watchable with her performance, and she carried it quite the distance. In addition to the talented Jennifer Tilly then the movie had a handful of impressive names in the cast list, with the likes of Joan Rivers, Robert Klein, Damon Wayans and Thomas Haden Church to mention the most outstanding.

The movie is listed as a comedy, but there was actually nothing much to make you laugh throughout the course of the entire movie.

All in all, "Goosed" proved to be a mediocre movie experience, and I am rating it a flat five out of ten stars. "Goosed" is adequate enough for a single viewing, but I doubt that I will ever be returning to watch this movie a second time.

I was pretty excited to see a movie that had the comedic talents of Thomas Haden Church and Damon Wayans displayed right on the cover of the video box, so I rented Goosed without a second thought. Boy would I like that 3.50 back. Damon Wayans was alright, I guess, and Thomas Haden Church was WAY underused. He didn't even get a chance to start to show what a comedic genius he is. Everything else about this movie completely blew. I suppose its possible just I don't understand it because of the whole female perspective thing, if thats the case I'm glad I am a guy. I'd hate for my life to be a less-than-watchable movie.

I am a big Jennifer Tilly fan and found her enjoyable to watch in this rather silly but fun picture.

She breezes through the film enticing men with her wiles which are considerable in my opinion.

Granted, this movie is no gem nor is it a brillant peice of film. It is however, comical though predictable...It sets itself up to be something a little more serious, but falls from grace and ends up a comedy. Danielle Harris is gorgeous as the younger Charlene. Tilly gives her usual excellent performance as the older Charlene, trying to find love...ends up with 2 kids, a few X husbands but a very happy, full life. Nothing heartwarming...just fun!

LOVED this darling, memorable, big little film. Jennifer TIlly plays herself, so to speak, and her outfits are cute: 50's embellished sequined sweaters, cute halter dresses and so on. Christian LaCroix, Natori! To name a few of the costume designers.. Aside from her outfits- Star studded cast and star studded non-acting credits- Branford Marsalis supplied the sax music in this relaitively unknown movie. To give you an idea of some of the jokes in this that were to me, hilarious, were when the parents (Joan Rivers, Robert Klein)do the happy dance when they hear (misunderstand, actually) that Tilly is dating a man in medicine. It aired on the "THISTv" network on December 20, 2022. My personal complaint with this story is the ending, rather, the lack of one, but I swear it won't detract from the watchability of the entire thing. Please watch, and enjoy! There are some familiar faces in this surprisingly nice little .. gem! It gets gem status.
