5.0 out of 5 stars
sophomore film indeed not a jinx,
By Brian R Yandle "Brian R Yandle" (High Point, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jinxed (VHS Tape)
i am not exactly sure why this film didn't do well but i rather found it entertaining and actually better than many of the films ms.midler would do later on. let's just say upfront the musical numbers here would not go down as anything special but that alone shouldn't have kept the film from being sucessful. the film features the diving miss m doing exactly what she is best at and that is making us all laugh. you will hoot, you might howl, and it's assured you will be charmed by her magnetic performance here which shows she was able to more than pull her weight in this film. whether or not you believe ken wahl's performance or even mr. torn, you will love ms.midler and with good reason too. for those of us who believe ms.midler was best when she was less vulgar and a bit more subtle but nonetheless a jewel to behold, this is the film for you. in this cute but somewhat black comedy, we find ms. midler playing a lounge singer traveling from town to town with her abusive hubby played by mr.torn is a part which i thought he pulled off rather well. not to mention ms.midler's black cat which i thought was absolutely adorable. we find mr. torn following a blackjack dealer from town to town as he has somehow managed to jinx the youngman. as fate would have it, the blackjack dealer and bette meet, fall in love, and devise plans to get mr. torn out of the big picture so to speak. the end results are often witty, clever, and always unpredictable. for a surprising and entertaining early bette vehicle, this one was not nearly as bad as the reviews have clearly suggested. give it a chance folks !!!

Bette Midler is hilarious!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jinxed (VHS Tape)
This movie was terrible, and so was Ken Wahl. But every time Bette opened her mouth, I couldn't control myself. I loved it when the tumbleweed hit her, and the way she said "I love you, pumpkin" to her cat. Her and Miss Nina should have their own movie! She really did save this truly awful movie, and because of her I am able to laugh through most of it.

Bette saves the movie!,

This review is from: Jinxed (VHS Tape)
I think that Bette should have gotten better reviews and better publicity on this movie! The movie itself is flat but Bette saved it!
