I always get a feeling of common sense from her, and often one of resigned exasperation.

I liked it, although it's been many years since I last saw it. I remember liking Olympia Dukakis in it, too.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-45564620328075329492012-11-07T18:02:06.035-06:002012-11-07T18:02:06.035-06:00I'll admit that some of her more recent choice...I'll admit that some of her more recent choices are not the best.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-25919462637250553392012-11-07T18:01:05.319-06:002012-11-07T18:01:05.319-06:00She does have a "weird look" and yet she...She does have a "weird look" and yet she's remarkably attractive here.

Cher was so charming in this movie that I honestly don't know why so many people get on her case about her acting. She has a weird-look to her, yes, but she's very energetic and fun to watch.

Can't say I agree on Cher's acting abilities (have you seen Burlesque? Don't), and I couldn't believe she won an Oscar for this.JayCluitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972011198109066985noreply@blogger.com
