Pretty Good
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
I'm not this movie's intended audience so I don't know if its fair for me to review it, I mean obviously since I am writing a review ultimately I've already decided its fair enough, so here goes- Nope. Movie dumb. Hey what it is is a toothless bloodless story and Rosie O'Donnell. The plot is just, I mean its crumby ,its a feeble by-the-numbers snore. The characters are forgettable and the setting is obviously a stage. My problem with Rosie O'Donnell is she can't act, she plays herself, which would be fine if she was a nice person, but she is not, Rosie sucks. OK, if you are looking for a grandmother friendly movie or a movie to show to like preteen girls at some ill-conceived church youth group thing, then Now And Then is the perfect movie for you!
When you watch this 1995 movie in 2012, you wish all children grow up in small towns with the simplicity and innocence that comes with it.. it has its own share of maturity, " it is normal when things are shitty ".. the movie shows that real understanding can lead to a life-long friendship among four characteristically different kids..one having a tragic past, another having quarrelling parents, yet another being given unreal sex education by an embarrassed, yet caring mother..The kids have done excellent acting.. the pace is smooth.. the biggest lesson comes from from a mysterious man who visits a particular grave in a cemetery.. A must-see for all parents and also for all children who want to avoid loneliness
I loved this film. Well, let's be honest, I will love any movie with Roseanne. Add Demi "Mrs. Kutcher" Moore, Melanie "Mrs. Banderas" Griffith, and you will just have a bang.The story goes back and forth between now and then, and it is a testament of the power of female friendship. The heroes, or maybe I should call them She-roes, are able to stand by each other through thick and thin. I know that some men cried (not me, but i know for a fact that my friend Derek went through a full box of Kleenex watching this lovely film).There are my two cents. Girls kick a**. Forever. Definitely.See you next time.
The movie now and then is one of my favorites and will continue to be.It is the story of four best friends Roberta,Teeny,Samantha,and Chrissy.It shows two parts of their lives. Now when they meet for the first time in ten years to celebrate and help Chrissy through pregnancy. Then when they were young twelve year olds discovering love,boys,and true friendship.It takes place during the summer of 1970 where the girls go on a crazy adventure to find out about a spirit they thought they released during one of their séances. Through out the movie there are things to entertain everyone; comedy,romance,adventure and more. This movie is great for girls of all ages.I love it,and I think other people will to :]
