First of all, let me say right out that I don't love Martha Stewart. I'm not a MS apologist. Hell, I don't even watch her show, because even I, half-brained cynic that I am, can discern that MS is essentially a product of the Wall Street/Madison Avenue/Corporate America hype-world. She's an invented hype-machine that gets people all excited about the infinite wonders of perfecting the "home living experience", and then... (drum roll please)... Corporate America is right there to sell all those many many products just to make that dream of perfection come true. The Martha Stewart line of products at K-Mart is one of the more obvious manifestations of this reality.
Be that as it may, I didn't like this heavy-handed "hit piece" of a film. It seems each and every scene was capped off with an emphatic little clincher to ensure the viewer was left with the thought: "Oh_My_Gawd!!! What a horrid stinker of a person that Martha Stewart really is!!! Ewwwww!!!"
Anyway, I thought the movie was a non-stop stream of hitting below the belt. I thought Cybill Shepherd looked and talked NOT AT ALL like the (real) Martha Stewart I've seen on t.v. (what little I've seen of her, that is...). As such, I thought the movie was unintentionally funny. I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd Cybill Shepherd looked, trying to make MS look absurd.
I would have appreciated more of the negative emphasis be put on the corporate hypsters that invent the Martha Stewarts in the first place. Also, I would have liked more negative bias towards mindless home-makers who get so damned obsessive about all those frilly, frivolous things in the first place. (I recently saw a PBS program entitled "Affluenza". That would make for an excellent follow-on viewing after seeing this film about Martha Stewart and the MS way of living.)
Anyway, a couple of years ago at K-Mart I bought a mattress pad for my bed. The Martha Stewart line. Don't know what the thread count is, but it is the most comfortable darned thing I've ever slept on. Thanks, Martha Stewart!

Cybill Shepherd plays in this very easy to watch movie which charts the rise and fall of Martha Stewart.
Whilst I don't know Martha Stewart or what she represents to today's American Society, I do know that I enjoyed this movie and I often take time out from my busy schedule to watch it.
Sure its not the best movie in the world, but I watch it because it's sometimes funny and sometimes realistic about the world of business. And I think its a good movie if you want to know what it takes to become an entreprenuer or start your own business.
Sometimes it re-invigorates my own ideals and my own personal goals. So that's why I like this movie.
Overall: 6/10.

What better actress to play Martha than Cybill. I think they're both nuts! I have always wondered why Martha is so popular, and to be honest, I'm still trying to figure it out. Most of the things she comes up with are just common sense, but so many people think she is so brilliant. She is an excellent con woman. That's her claim to fame.
I have heard many stories about Martha's work ethics and can be bossy and demanding, but what celebrity isn't? I think to be where she is at she needs to be demanding and goal oriented, you have to sacrifice and step on some toes. I felt she also lost a lot with her family, i was kind of curious on her relationship with her daughter, which the movie did not explain in details, if there were at all close? The movie was i would think pretty accurate? The writers must of done some interviews to get the inside scoop. Cybill Shepherd was awesome in this film! She really was Martha. That was some very good acting! But no matter i am still an avid reader and watcher of Martha Stewart. She is the queen of entertaining.
This show was good and actually kind of funny. The show displayed her temper and that's kinda fun to watch. Cybill did a good job portraying Martha but I find it hard to think ill of Martha because she is actually a hard worker, driven by her need to be successful. This is the American way these days. Keep up the good work Martha and Cybill.
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaThe creators' infamous back-pedal response that the film was made as a satire is belied by the flashback scenes, all of which are lacking in humor or camp value, especially when compared to Shepherd's dysrgulated performance in the modern-day scenes.
- ErroresWhen Martha is confronted by Norma in the kitchen about the catering issue, there is a platter on the counter with a large fish. In the beginning of the scene, the fish is laid out on the platter covered in sliced cucumbers. In the following shot, there is what appears to be a zippered binder laying on top of the fish, then the next scene shows the fish in a mangled state with no binder laying on it.
