Drei Frauen für Archie

I really enjoyed this movie because I grew up with the Archie comics and always wondered who would play their parts if this were ever live-action.

The only thing I would have left out was the fact that Archie and his fiancee are living together. Not a good example for kids.

Great job otherwise! The characters are well-captured - I just wish another could be made to show the cast in their 40's and what they do with their lives.

This movie really f****ng sucks. Growing up, I was a rabid fan of Archie comics, and this movie just didn't do it justice. It took the fun and liveliness of the comics and turned it into a boring, ridiculous, embarassing failure. Lauren Holly (playing Betty) is probably cowering in shame that anyone has seen her in this!

Anyway, the girls are sexually obsessed with Archie, who can't make up his mind. Reggie and Mr. Lodge are trying to close down the Choklit Shoppe, where things become totally unrealistic. Reggie, in my opinion, though scum, would never try to close down his favorite childhood hangout. Also, Mr. Lodge tries to "take out" Archie with cut brakelines and a bomb. In the books, Mr. Lodge was only annoyed by Archie, not out to plant him 6 feet under.

This may be a bit of shock to people (so make small children leave the room) they even corrupted the Archies superhit "Sugar, Sugar" by having Jughead and his son turn into a disgusting rap number. Also, for more unbelievable fun, Big Ethel turns out to be supermodel. As anyone who has read the comics knows, Ethel was the female version of Jughead.

Anyway, don't bother seeing the movie unless you hate the Archie gang. THen, you'll love it.

When ever I travel I always buy Arche comics because they provide joyous laughs. Watching this movie a week ago made me realize that some comics shouldn't be made into movies. The cast mainly full of unknowns excepet for Lauren Holly. The plot revoles around the gang at their high school reunion. But where are Chuck and Dilton ? Another flaw is having the same charcters play each other when their 15 which is dumb. The film's low point comes when Jughead tries to rap. I would made this film when the gang was in high school and have them reunite at the end instead of baseing the whole around the reunion. We can only hope that the feature film version in devolpement with a cast incudling Tobey Maugiure,Joshua Jackson and Christina Ricci will be do the comic justic.

This was a really good movie. It was entertaining, that's all that matters. I think the "self-proclaimed" Archie buffs who gave the bad comments about this movie didn't watch it with an open-mind. Even if you read the comic books, you would find this movie believable. Sure it would've been nice if the characters in the comic books turned out to be just the way you wanted them to be, but that's not what life's about. You should expect to be disappointed in life, just as with this movie. If you plan on being disappointed when you go to watch this movie, then you'll be relieved when you watch this movie (because it isn't all that bad). Going in with high hopes will give you the Siskel-Ebert syndrome where you find yourself scrutinizing every scene and character interaction. So I recommend this movie to anyone who has an open mind, and who's a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (the TV show that's no longer around). If you can make fun of a movie, and still enjoy it, then you're getting your money's worth. Like it or hate it, Return To Riverdale is worth the money (you just gotta be open-minded).

I'm sure most of the cast and crew of "Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again" is currently plotting to have this embarrassing movie erased from existence. They've very effectively removed all the joy, youthful exuberance and goofiness from the old comic books (and tolerable TV cartoons) and replaced it with sullen, slow, thick and execrably cheesy made-for-TV mush. Avoid this stinkeroo at all costs, even if it means watching a blank screen for 2 hours instead.
