Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BORINGPacing is very important. Also, the actors must say interesting things and keep the thing moving along. Burt and Julie in her office, not saying much, is not good film making. But, the part with the dog stuck to Burt's hand is very funny (although not as good as the sex outfit in NEVER AGAIN). There are far better comedies out there: Jack Lemon's stuff for instance(UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE, GOOD NEIGHBOR SAM, THE OUT OF TOWNERS). Rating: - A poor copy by any standard.In the climatic moment of one of the great film scripts of all time, "The Verdict" by David Mamet, attorney Edward Concannon (James Mason) implores the judge, "We can't be expected to accept a (photo)copy when we have the original." Many consider Truffaut's 1977 "L'homme qui aimait les femmes" a wonderful film. Anyone who has seen this original, need not venture to this 1983 remake, the land of Blake Edwards, his family and his friends. This film likely falls under the category of ...

With a Few SurprisesBlake Edwards's 1983 remake of Francois Truffaut's classic, "The Man Who Loved Women" (1977) has the basic elements of countless adult films: it plays like an extended male/female sexual fantasy. Male viewers may place themselves in the role of David Fowler (Burt Reynolds), the stud who can be loved, adored, and physically satisfied by scores of women at once; female viewers will adore Burt's sensitive, artistic, sexually aggressive male lover. Thus, on a psychological level, Edwards's film is ... Read More Rating: - See the French VersionToo slick, hip and cool for my britches. An Americanization of a European classic that doesn't work. Funny for American audience tastes, but too physical, too materialistic in its approach for my liking. There's a spiritual element to the Truffault version that's missing in the American one with Mr. Reynolds. The French one is more subtle, deeper and sincere. Rating:  - Arguably Truffaut's Best MovieBlake Edward's spoof of this movie is funny, but the original is much funnier. It's funny cuz it's true. Browse for similar items by category:
