Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Console best movie i've ever seen.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

midtownfilmdude "Widow's Kiss" is a well-crafted film-noir thriller with a steamy performance from Beverly D'Angelo as a woman who lives off the avails of rich, lonely men. The film is well directed by Peter Foldy and delivers some strong production values. Mackenzie Astin (brother of Sean and son of Patty Duke) is great as the boy who suddenly inherits D'Angelo as his seductive stepmom. Bruce Davison is solid as Astin's dad and Dennis Haysbert gives a grounded performance as a down on his luck detective hired to solve a murder. At the end of the day, it is Ms. D'Angelo who carries the film as the cold-hearted Vivian. She bares all here and was at the top of her game when she made this film.Though some of the dialogue may sound a bit on the money, "Widow's Kiss" is a great little film that should have gotten much more attention. It was an HBO World Premier back in the mid-90s and it's still a fun, sexy ride 20 years later. Would be nice to see this re-released on Blue Ray or DVD with a director's commentary.

devilgeezer Harmless enough with zero originality and a hardly believable string of events with some very soft porn thrown in for good measure. The characters are inconsistent and unrealistic. The token Brit lawyer is hilarious to any British person as a typical American stereotype of anyone British and it is strangely late 80's for a mid 90's film in both fashion and originality. The best line is when the world weary private detective explains why he has lost his enthusiasm for the job -'I woke up one morning and realised I wasn't 25 anymore and it p****d me off'. Watch only if you have no other options and leave all senses of reasoning.

snowbird2001 The NY Times called this movie "dryly witty" and it is. The performances are good but the dialogue is great. Most of the jokes are inside and sly, but if you're smart, you'll get it. My girlfriend and I loved it. Our favorite line: When Dennis Haysberg, a burned out cop, is asked why he's such a prick he says: "I woke up one day and I wasn't 25 anymore. It p***ed me off." The movie is full of great lines like that and the story works.

Wilbur-10 As soon as I was subjected to the incredibly irritating music over the opening credits I should have stopped watching this film. Instead I persevered and wasted 103 minutes of my life, hoping in vain that the situation would improve - it never did. In fact thinking back, the opening music was the film's highpoint.I'm usually a fan of these semi-erotic Made-for-TV thrillers despite all their cheesiness, but 'Widow's Kiss' has absolutely nothing going for it. For what it's worth the story has a lawyer, played by Bruce Davison ( remember him in the title role of 'Willard' back in 1971 ), falling for a recently widowed dyed-blonde. Before you can blink and say 'Somebody shoot the script-writer', they have had a whirlwind affair and are married in Las Vegas. She moves in to the family home, where the lawyers son is suspicious of his new step-mom and her wardrobe of see-thru nighties .Anyway, blah-blah-blah-blah - everything is Grade-Z, but what really grates is that no-one in the whole sorry affair seems to even make any effort. The people responsible for this turkey should suffer career freefall - Beverly D'Angelo next starred in 'Pterodactyl Woman from Beverly Hills'(1994), so maybe there is some justice in the world.
