This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreThe 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.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreThis study of Miss Marshall and Treloar, winners of the Physical Culture Show in Madison Square Garden in 1904, probably set a few pulses racing back in the day thanks to the skimpy garments worn by the two subjects. Miss Marshall wears a skintight leotard that accentuates every curve of her body. Assuming this was 1904's equivalent to the body-building contests of today, it has to be said that Miss Marshall wouldn't get a look in - and neither would the more toned but still relatively modestly proportioned Treloar. Obviously the enhancing effects of steroids were unknown 105 years ago. The film isn't very long - or interesting for that matter. The pair of them both adopt poses designed to show off the curves of their bodies, and it has to be said that Treloar is more successful at this than the comely but soft looking Miss Marshall.
