3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat amusing, Feb 5 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium (VHS Tape)

One of the other reviewers called this a good "popcorn movie," and I agree. It is an amusing bit of fluff with some romance thrown in. At a breathless pace we are introduced to a diverse bunch of ordinary American shmoes who are about to take a whirlwind bus trip across Europe. Their charming British tourguide is mostly interested in the young women he has waiting to meet him for one-night stands at various ports of call, until he suddenly falls more deeply for one of the tour members, a young Suzanne Pleshette. At first she rebuffs him but eventually the loneliness and atmosphere (and some booze) make her fall for him. These two characters are never given very much depth, actually, but I guess that's kind of the point - a whirlwind, summery romance (which reminds me of a better movie called "Summer" about Katherine Hepburn wandering around Venice). The other characters thrash about having ridiculous adventures, including an almost accidental Italian wedding and a visit to a Swiss hippie pad where Donovan strums guitar. I didn't find much of it very funny, except for one guy who happens to be a cleptomaniac. So, while the idea is a good one - the misadventures of ugly Americans abroad - the film seems a bit dated now in much of its dialogue, the comedy is faint, and the romance isn't especially touching. This is not to say that this is a bad film; as I say, it's worth seeing once with a bowl of popcorn handy.

I came upon the middle of this movie the other night right after writing of my experiances, while stationed in England in the late 60's. It was if I was transported back to more enjoyable times.

The viginettes of each couple and their adventures while traveling from place to place are light hearted and laughable. I enjoyed the tet a tet between the two main characters, but expected a different ending.

The movie moved along with a deliberate pace, and I anxiously awaited each new adventure before it came along.

If looking for a light hearted, funny movie, with laughs galore, then you will enjoy this one!

This review is from: If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium (VHS Tape)

I saw this film 2 or 3 times when first released with my parents. They were not ones to pay for a movie twice, but they did on this one. Very funny from start to finish, with another great ensemble cast, and a ton of cameos. I discovered Iam McShane in this film, who is now currently on PBS is a mystery series from the BBC. I've always loved Suzanne Pleshette, and she is a delight in a romp with a very buxom Italian lady who has poor Suzanne land in a fountain after their little car accident in Rome (POLICIA!). Reva Rose gave poor Norman Fell (Mr. Roper on Three's Company) a run for his money by joining the wrong tour in Amsterdam, and actually passing each other on different boats on the Rhine. Peggy Cass is married to Murray Hamilton (pre-Jaws) who keeps threatening to "Get her for this". A lovely lively romp and so much better than the TV Movie remake.
