Inspirational - This movie brought back memories. Pauline Collins is a great. I could not have said it better! What a dream. Quoting nother reviewer who wrote,"Every woman who turns 40 should see this movie. It will make you laugh and cry,... but above all it will inspire you to live life to the fullest. I want to sit on the beach of a Greek isle and sip wine while watching the sunset" I agree and could not have said it better! What a dream.
This has been one of my all time favorite movies for many years! It's definitely a "chick flick". Although it is English (I personally find the English to be the BEST movie makers), it has an appeal for every woman (though it is geared to the "middle" aged ones). It is warm, witty, funny, and has a personal appeal that transcends all sexes, ages and lifestyles, if you are looking for a movie about "lost" dreams, hopes & happiness.
Every woman who turns 40 should see this movie. It will make you laugh and cry, but above all (without sounding cliche) it will inspire you to live life to the fullest. I want to sit on the beach of a Greek isle and sip wine while watching the sunset. Now, don't tell me that almost every woman has dreamed of this at some time in her life.
I bought the tape of the movie because I had already seen it and knew a friend would enjoy the story of a woman who leaves behind her mundane life and the everyday demands on her for a holiday that turns into a freeing adventure. The fourth wall is broken by the main character and that really increases your enjoyment. It is lighthearted and very enjoyable.
Both my husband and I loved this movie when we first saw it many years ago. We have watched it when ever it was available. We were never able to get it in the video store and so decided to puchase it. Loved the story, the actors and where it all took place. Our only dislike is that it is not available on DVD in the USA.
This is definitely a chick flick. I really enjoyed it, although I've not felt a need to up and leave my husband. I thought this movie was well done and if you don't make any morality judgements you will probably enjoy it too. The scenery is wonderful--I'm ready to go to Greece! JB
Love this movie since the first time I saw it back in the 80's. Probably a lot of womens fantasy!! Very easy to buy-great seller
Wonderful chick-flick! Oldie but goodie classic. Great for 40 something's....perfect for rainy afternoon...had to have it, love love love it!!
i Bought the vhs for my wife she likes to see it every so often the quality of the tape was excellent
Fun movie to watch. I watched it several days before I left for Greece. While in Greece people kept talking about the movie so I was glad I had seen it. It was entertaining and I liked that she let her family know she was no longer going to be doormat.
