Revanche de femme

I truly enjoyed Kristie Alley in this movie.

Kristie Alley looked "Beautiful" I think Kristie Alley should play more roles like this one. This movie kept me tuned in to find out what would happen next. This is a cute comedy. The story line of this movie I think for some could very well be true. Kristie Alley plays a 40yr woman whom is unable to sell her screen writer's scrip because of her age. Kristie Alley knows she still has it she still has the magic. The only problem is in Hollywood /is her age. Hollywood always changing up for the fresh face.

Kristie Alley also gave inspiration for the woman whom are down on their luck when it comes to being jobless. I highly recommend this movie. It is tastefully funny.

Television movies generally do not come any better than this. Kirstey Alley takes over from Judith Light in the role of queen of the TV movies, and in that role she is a highly entertaining actress. Her comedic skills are among the best, and she is also competent in dramatic scenes. Graeme Clifford is a very talented veteran director who is responsible for at least one of my favorite films, "Frances" (1982), starring Jessica Lange. It was less of a shock how good this film was when I realized he directed it. The writers were also on top of their game, with many tongue in cheek references to classic films that probably half of the audience will miss. It enriches the film, though.

The film is funny and there are moments when you will laugh out loud, or simply be enraged by how snobbish and ageist some of the 'suits' in the business are. In that respect, and in many others, this film is true to life. The representation of the job market, and how some employers fail to see the strengths in certain people, seemed accurate. The character development and performances were top notch, and the score was very nice.

Highly recommended!

Much of the execution of this film is mediocre at best, but the story works, the acting is passable, and never once does the movie resort to least common denominators of sex or violence. Well, maybe a little implied sex early on, but nothing too raunchy. As a social commentary, Write and Wrong tackles a very real discrimination that plagues Hollywood. Age discrimination is clearly rampant in the acting world, but few are aware of its prominence in the writing world. Write and Wrong makes its audience aware of the issue without being bogged down in preachy overtones.

Definitely worth a watch on a low-key, mellow evening!

It started hilariously, or as some would rather say: overdone . For me it was best part of movie . Then came scene with attractive, young blonde, so she must be dumb . Yeah, that kind of 'ism was present in this movie too. Should we call it haircolorism ? But so far it was still realistic. What came later was a bit hard to swallow. I mean, why would someone reject script for movie just because writer is old ? That it will be not liked by (mostly, and that's correct) young audience ? Why someone older could not write in way that younger audience like, enjoy it. I think that much better would be if it was about actress, or even actor. Surely, there were movies with that already made then. Something new at all cost ?

Anyway, this was not so bad as some reviews suggesting here, and I'm not sorry for spent electricity, even if it goes more and more expensive this years. There were some better parts, and even some kind of love story. Ah, 2 of them, although the one with main actress was really pale and rushed - as was rushed end of main story too.

I guess that Woody would say 'few' words about this, if someone asked ...

As soon as I saw this film with Kirstie Alley, I was reminded of the great Woody Allen film "The Front." In that one, a blacklisted writer gives someone his scripts so that he can earn a living. In this one, scripts are given to a nephew by a veteran writer who is suffering from age discrimination.

Kirstie Alley shows her talents as an extremely gifted actress. She is emotionally suitable for the role. Hard to believe that it has been over 20 years since she had a commanding performance as the emotionally disturbed slavery-hating Virgilia in the outstanding miniseries of "North and South." Why haven't there been better roles for Ms. Alley since then? We need to see more of her and I'm not talking about the Jennie Craig television commercials.

This film beautifully details the misery caused by age discrimination as well as the fact that incompetent young people are pushed into important positions because of their youth.
