Last of the Red Hot Lovers Reviews
Film-Version of Neil Simon Stage Classic
The fast-paced, witty script follows Neil Simon's stage play almost verbatim. Countless funny lines and come-backs make this a very entertaining comedy. Mid-life crisis seems to hit almost every character. Having an affair was the "in" thing, portrayed as a survival necessity. The "loverboy" is quite nervous about cheating on his wife of 22 years (with whom he has 3 children). Opportunities seem plentiful. Saying prayers for guidance is like a fettish to this man.
Somehow the production of ths 1970s NYC setting and action feel like a French or Italian comedy. There definitely is a European flavor (of the 70s). The cover of the DVD promises a letterbox format, yet delivers only a VERY squeezed TV version. There are no added features whatsoever. Those are the only disappointments in an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable comedy. Fans of Neil Simon's work will have a great time.****
THE GENIUS OF ALAN ARKIN
NOT FOR EVERYONE, BUT A MUST FOR ALAN ARKIN ENTHUSIASTS AND THOSE WITH A LUST FOR DRY HUMOR AND WIT. ALAN ARKIN GOING THROUGH A MID LIFE CRISIS IS AS FUNNY AS IT GETS. A SCENE WITH HIM AND PAULA PRENTIS SMOKING POT IS LTERALLY LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY.
