This review is from: Curly Sue (VHS Tape)

The VHS video of Curly Sue arrived in really good condition. I have been looking for this movie for a long time, it's too bad that it does not come in DVD. I was so glad to find it on Amazon.ca. Thank you very much!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet "Orphan Annie-ish" Formula Comedy/Tear Jerker, Sep 2 2003

By

Michael Mathena "Michael Mathena" (Valley City, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Curly Sue (VHS Tape)

Writer/Director John Hughes covered all bases (as usual) with this bitter-sweet "Sunday Afternoon" family movie. "Curly Sue" is a sweet, precocious orphan, cared for from infancy by "Bill". The pair live off their witts as they travel the great US of A. Fate matches them with a "very pretty" yuppie lawyer, and the rest is predictable.

Kids will love this film, as they can relate to the heroine, played by 9 year old Alisan Poter (who went on to be the "you go girl!" of Pepsi commercials). The character is supposed to be about 6 or 7, as she is urged to think about going to school. Some of her vocabulary suggests that she is every day of 9 or older.

Similar to "Home Alone", there is plenty of slap-stick and little fists punching big fat chins. Again, this is "formula" film making, aimed at a young audience. Entertaining and heartwarming. Don't look for any surprises, but be prepared to shed a tear or two.****

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet!, Aug 2 2003

By

This review is from: Curly Sue (VHS Tape)

I love Jim Belushi and this is one of my favorite movies of his, it's a cute and sweet comedy about a con artist and an adorable little girl with curly hair. Jim Belushi is great and so is adorable Alisan Porter as Curly Sue.

I wish this sweet movie was on DVD and in widescreen!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great!
This is a really good film! James Belushi stars as a con-man stuck with a cute little girl with curly hair. In another one of their typical cons, they hit the jackpot. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars This could have been a great Hughes film!
This is John Hughes's last film (to date) as a director and marks a change in focus from his previous work where he had focussed more on teenagers than small children. Read more
