Goosed

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.

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.

Just filled with crude stereotypes of Jewish parents and blacks, this film keeps feeling like someone is improvising from an empty story to start with. Tilly keeps chasing men until she can find the predicted love of her life, Dr. Steven, but only finds one disaster after another. Some name puns get overkilled with Richard, an annoying guy at work. The Uncola man even shows up to analyze what she learned from all these guys and why she keeps chasing them. It was an endurance test to view more than 10 minutes before quitting.

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!
