Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

daamama This movie makes fun of wealth, poverty, all sorts of theatrical genres and humanity itself. Giving away my age, I saw it at the theater when it came out and being a fan of just about everyone in it, was NOT disappointed. I would love to see it again and share it with my grand-kids who have discovered they love the old films. I really think the industry would be shocked at how well the sales of this one (and several others) would go. The movie itself takes nothing seriously and is absolutely hilarious. One comes to believe that being married to this woman is tantamount to taking cyanide, only much, much funnier. There's not much to be said about it that isn't already in print, but to experience it is to experience all these stars at their funniest and seemingly, most ingenious!

Andre Bortolon I've just watched "What a Way to Go!" and I must confess I was seduced by its cast for some time, and that was the reason why I've wanted to watch it. By the end of the screening, I was a little disappointed perhaps more due to its dull plot than to anything else: Shirley Maclaine plays Louise May Foster, the heiress of a inheritance of more than 200 million dollars who intends to donate all of it to the government. Before she donates it she goes to a psychologist (Robert Cummings) and tells him where all this money comes from: from her ex-husbands, who turned out to die from unexpected (but at the same time funny) causes, all of them in the peak of their careers; a new millionaire who was Loiuse's first love and became her first husband (Dick Van Dyke); a painter(Paul Newman) that she met in Paris and that got rich selling paintings created by his own machinery; a fancy tycoon (Robert Mitchum) and a singer (Gene Kelly) who has got rich getting into the movie business. The only guy she dumped in her life was a spoiled businessman (Dean Martin), that she happens to meet again later on in the movie. Although its a high-quality production, with good moments (the comparisons that Louise makes about her relationships to different ages in the film history are the highlight), the result is a few laughs, and a feeling that such good actors were miscasted (Newman, Mitchum, Martin) maybe except for Gene Kelly, that steals the movie at the moment he is on it. By the end, the feeling is: it could be funnier and bolder. It is not.

Aristides-2 I wondered when it would happen. When I was in my twenties I would occasionally get to see silent films. With the exception of Chaplin, almost all of them were difficult to watch. Acting styles were florid and the stories were mirroring (more than the film producers could know) late 19th Century and the first quarter of the 20th Century's societal 'ideas'. I don't know of any of them (except Chaplin) that ever reached me emotionally or in a thoughtful fashion.Friends and me who had the same reaction would fancifully say, "Gee, someday our films will appear to be as dated as those same silents.With 'What A Way To Go', seen in the perspective of my 21st Century eyes, that time has come. The so-called comedy of it, not subtle in the least and broad/broad/broad is painful to watch. But it's the falseness of as much of the film as I could bear that has the deepest impact, just like those silent films. There's a 'kidding', a winking at the audience that takes what's supposed to be true sentiment and turns it inside out. (Voltaire could do this but the screenwriters of this are not operating at his talent level.) So ultimately, nothing is satirized and everything becomes pap.

Jalea With eye candy galore, this movie is funny, funny, funny! It starts out with the a widow on the couch, explaining to the psychiatrist why she does not want her fortune.A simple lady, who just wanted to live on love, for some reason whomever she marries, becomes insanely driven, filthy rich workaholics, that work themselves to early graves with hilarious results.The costume designer had lots of fun, working with thirty-year-old Shirley Maclaine at her physical peak.It looked like the entire cast had a blast. It was fun to watch A-list actors clown around.Does Louisa May ever find what she is searching for? You have to watch this light hearted black comedy (an oxymoron yet an apt description of the movie) and find out.
