Femmes à Hollywood

Lissa, Taylor and Kindra are married female celebrities who get together for lunch and talk about their lives. Each one has a daughter. Two of the three are having problems with their marriage because one spouse (or perhaps both) is unfaithful. Lissa's daughter wants to get married anyway. But she discovers she is attracted to her fiance's brother, so ... could she end up following the lead of the celebrities?

I know Farrah Fawcett is considered a good actress, but I don't think this is exactly her best work. Her performance seemed okay to me. I liked hearing her sing, but I don't know if it was her. Dorian Harewood gave a better performance, but he wasn't on screen much.

There is a kidnapping during the movie's second half, which makes it a little more exciting and changes the movie's tone. But mostly the idea seems to be to show as much skin as network TV will allow (though the 'NYPD Blue' level of nudity is not reached) and to curse as much as possible (again, 'NYPD' allows words we didn't hear). I was truly surprised when one character said 'Son of a ....' (What, did they finally reach their quota and they couldn't say any more bad words?) I couldn't believe what Half Pint from 'Little House on the Prairie' actually said. But then it wasn't explicit.

One good thing about this movie: at least some of the characters learn what is really important in life. That is something they were having trouble with at the beginning of the movie, when everyone seemed to be interested only in advancing their careers as much as possible, having all the finer things in life, getting pleasure from wherever regardless of who gets hurt.

Farrah Fawcett is 60 years old. And it shows! I just could not believe that the walking mummy on screen was once the prettiest of the Angels. Hollywood is really harsh with aging actresses but this doesn't give them any excuse for trying (unsuccessfully) to look sexy and desirable until...death, especially when it's not in their genes. As for the movie, the plot and the acting are horrible. The characters and reactions unconvincing. I only watched it to the end to see if it would get worse - and of course it did. The film is supposed to show (once again) how rotten the U.S. Movie industry is and how it affects people's personalities and actions. But no morals are gained due to the shock of viewing one of the worst films ever!

I saw this film a couple of days ago, courtesy of the Daily Mail (free DVD giveaway).

I love cheesy films, so I was in heaven for most of this movie. I did however feel, certain story lines were underdeveloped. I would have loved to have seen more of Lissa's husband after he started to slate her on national TV. But he, and that story just seemed to disappear, which was disappointing. I love most things Jack Scalia is in, ever since I saw him in Dallas, and as usual he was in fine form.

I did like the storyline with Melissa Gilbert's character, but I wouldn't have minded seeing what drew her to have an affair - she seemed to have quite a loving husband - I can't have been just because she wanted her film script read??

Farah Fawcet was OK. To be honest, I was more interested to see what she looked like after all the plastic surgery - She still looks good, but should have maybe left her face alone - it was a bit disturbing to see the effects of the obvious 'work'.

Robin Givens was inconsequential...not sure what role she had in the film, and it would have flowed without her - her daughter, I thought was the more interesting one in that relationship.

All in all, the movie was OK, but could have been so much better!

Jack Scalia gets better with age..his acting skills always complement Jackie Collins ..Farrah and Melissa Gilbert were perfect casting ..the actors and friendship among the cast added to the story...My main interest in the movie was Jack Scalia, this movie proves that if given the right script his acting talents are enduring..More Jack Scalia in the future . PLEASE! Too many producers look to other countries for actors. Thank You Jackie Collins for giving us a chance to see more projects and actors otherwise not considered for romantic roles..JACK Scalia will still be sexy in his 80s..

Again, this movie was a wonderful escape and ended way to soon! Fondly! jsn

I've always loved Farrah Fawcett, ever since I've seen "The Burning Bed", a couple of months ago I heard that she was going to do a movie for T.V., so I came on the internet and went here to IMDB, when the movie came on I thought it was not the best, but what commercial t.v. movie is?, the only thing I liked about it was Farrah Fawcett, she was really good in it, she looked different, but I still loved her in this movie, I gave it a 7 because I thought 8-10 was too much, if this was a motion picture it probably would be a 2 star movie, but anyway I liked it, I even taped the movie for myself.
