Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

LOL! This was a FAMILY EVENT back when I was about...oh...12-13 years old. The whole family sat down - My Mom, My sister and myself and watched every second of this. Eating it up. We were really into it. When Lili brings the three friends together and goes "Which one of you bitches is my mother!?" - LOFL! ahhhh man. What memories. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Classic 80's over the top - wonderfulness!I was just having a wave of nostalgia - thinking about the Original V - you know - with the reptiles dressed as people who come to earth all friendly and cozy - but are really eating people - but the females were sexy. and thornbirds - with richard chamberlain - he was a priest or something in that one, right? So I started thinking about this mini- series that I remember my whole family watched and was excited about. I looked and looked and I remembered the word Lace was in it so I googled that - and voila - got to this page - if the DVD was available, I'd order that just to have it to watch one more time in its entirety. the 80's.......good times.

Lace is an American television two-part miniseries, based on the novel of the same name by author Shirley Conran. The series aired on ABC from February 26–27, 1984. The plot concerns the search by sex symbol Lili (Phoebe Cates) for her natural mother, who surrendered her for adoption as a newborn.The miniseries is infamous for the line "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" spoken by Lili, when she finally assembles the three potential candidates: Pagan Trelawney (Brooke Adams), Judy Hale (Bess Armstrong) and Maxine Pascal (Arielle Dombasle).Now you can relive all the soapy moments by Ordering "Lace" at Warner Bros. Archive collection.http://www.wbshop.com/Warner-Archive/ARCHIVE,default,sc.html

This mini-series was great,I hope that one day I will be able to buy it on video or on d.v.d. All the acting was fantastic. If you have read the book you will still enjoy this, and then go on to read and watch lace2 the sequel. Phoebe Cates (wife of Kevin Kline) was a perfect choice to play Lili as she is both beautiful and very very talented. You will be wondering who is Lili's mother and when you find out you will then be wanting to find out who is Lili's father is. The other actresses in the show portraying the potential mothers of Lili played their parts fantastically. Go ahead hire this one and enjoy.

I found it to be a bit soapy. Lather up the baby and wait for the water. Wait, Wait, Wait, three hours into it and Cates has no idea who gave her life. You don't either. Nope, wait, and wait , and wait, it drags you along on this life of excess where no one washes the baby, takes care of the child or shows their hand. Wait, and wait and wait some more. The only saving grace is the women are pretty enough to look at for awhile. You will need a bag of nachos, four bags of popcorn, three cans of coke, two dogs on your lap and plenty of cut up sausage and cheese. It will suck you in. Remember the time your mom told you not touch a fire, this is it, you begin watching this and it will suck you in.
