I'd love to be smoking whatever the other reviewers are smoking! I don't believe I've ever seen a worse movie with such top stars. There is a plot, but it's little used except to hang lots of shots of beautiful Sofia and the equally beautiful Gregory Peck. If that's all you're interested in, this is the movie for you. The acting is terrible. I can't think of one believable moment in the film. It's like horrible science fiction without the science.

If your girlfriend had been kidnapped at knife point, wouldn't you ask her about it when she wandered home the next day? Peck whispers something in the ear of a Buckingham Palace guard that causes him to faint. Does that really work? Fantasy is fun, stupidity rarely.

Having just watched it, I can hardly write this review because I'm still in shock at how bad it was. Beautifully shot, rich colors, fabulous set and clothes. But oh sweet mother of pearl what a rotten movie. What was Mr. Donen thinking? You may enjoy watching it to laugh how bad it is, but it's comforting to me that most of the cast are dead so they don't have to continue to be embarrassed. I can't say enough bad things about this waste of 105 minutes of good film. Ack!

Gee...6 hours! I wish it had been 12 or 24! It's been years since I've seen a movie this good. I'm trying to think, maybe I've never seen a movie this good? Never a dull moment, never predictable. Poor ole humans really do have a hard time, life is too complicated for the least of us. This movie is mind altering, no need for pot. It should be a must see for the Bush Administration! It's dark with a meaning and a message, several messages. Don't miss this one!

It is very rare that a little gem like this will pop up. Rarely are the very oldest among us given the spotlight, and what a great spotlight it is. Alex Halpern's love of his Nana is apparent at every turn and who could blame him? Many families used to be held together by someone such as Nana who is both loved and feared, tender and scathing. This movie dares to show both sides of a remarkable woman who is both honest and at times selective in her memories. I was delighted to learn that Nana is still alive at 104. Maybe death is afraid to take on this old gal. This is a must see movie!
