Product Description
From Amazon.com
One of the biggest teases in film history, this film's sensational plot finds a young wife (Demi Moore) solicited for sex by a wealthy bachelor (Robert Redford), for which the latter offers to pay a cool million bucks to her and her underachieving husband (Woody Harrelson). The two accept Redford's deal, and their marriage is ruined. The twist in the film, though, is that the sin doesn't lie with the rich guy, but rather with this unfocused, immature, equivocating couple who would do such a thing, naively believing it would get their lives on track. Director Adrian Lyne, who caused an even greater stir by filming Lolita (the one starring Jeremy Irons), thus pulls a kind of thinking person's bait and switch, promising something tawdry and then turning the story around so its focus is on a rite of passage for the estranged spouses. Still, Lyne has some peculiarly garish ideas at times: the final disposition of that million dollars is like a joke out of Monty Python. --Tom Keogh

Twisted proposal,
By
This review is from: Indecent Proposal (VHS Tape)
Really sick relationship, but here comes director Adrian Lyne again with another weird relationship movie, so what can you expect? A couple who really need money (Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson) agree to the sicko offer by wealthy Robert Redford to loan Demi to him for a while for a flat million bucks. The marriage falls to tatters, of course, but it's not Redford's fault. The success of the film turns on the director's ability to draw viewers in with a titillating tease and turn the experience into a provocative and thoughtful exploration of what makes a couple agree to such a thing. Interesting movie with a great cast.

I would have given him 99 cent change out of a dollar !!!,
By Gabriella Christina "Gabriella Christina" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indecent Proposal (VHS Tape)
This is without a doubt one of the most romantic films I have ever seen. It reigns supreme in my collection. This film is not about money - far from it, it is about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think initially John Gage felt that Diana would have been a pushover and blinded by all his billions but she was no easy feat which he soon understood with serious consequences. I am sure both John & Diana were secretly asking themselves why they didn't meet sooner. Havent we all found ourselves in that position at some point in our lives.The way John seduced Diana was amazing. Did anyone see the way he held her eyes at the Craps table, or when they went to his house or what about when he was on the boat with her. He was amazingly funny and at other times deadly serious and that's what was so touching. I think deep down Diana really fancied John but found it difficult to cope with the guilt of leaving her husband. Let's face it, he was no competition for John. Robert Redford has always been one of my favourite actors. He has the ability to take on various roles which unfortunately a lot of today's actors can't do. As for him offering $1 million dollars to sleep with him, I would have given him change out of a dollar !!!!!!!!!!!!

MONEY TALKS...,
By Ali (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NEW Indecent Proposal (DVD) (DVD)
Now let's be realistic here. This film is kind of unbelievable but to tell you the truth, it is a film that is very original and classy. I remember when it first came out in the movies and the trailer and billboards were everywhere. With Sade's "No Ordinary Love" playing in the background, this filmed looked like a future Oscar nominated film. The film was very intriguing to me despite the fact i was 12 years old back then when the film was released. I never got to see it at the movies but i did buy it on VHS when it came out on video. I was blown away by the script, plot and actors. The film must have been the best film I had ever seen (mind you, i was 12). Still today, i think it is still a very good film. It'll be classic to me and it'll be considered the most vicious film about money, love and power that was ever made. I recommend it to everyone who likes romantic films.
