Watch Corrina, Corrina For Free

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This simple picture depicting Manny, a middle aged man whose wife has recently died, makes one of the most difficult situations in his life: to hire a nanny to take care of their little daughter whilst he prioritises with his work. Despite this picture's lack of popular appeal and box office performance, it would seem intolerant to suggest that this picture is not a moving or deeply thought-provoking.The picture, set during the late 1950s, is a wonderful depiction of how two people so "different" can come together at a time when it wasn't politically or socially acceptable. The true stars of this movie, Goldberg and Liotta, portray the taboo of an interracial relationship at the time and convey this difficulty with such serenity and authenticity.The infrequent injections of Goldberg's comedy enable the film to be not just a sadistic and morbid tale of the hardships of America's shame, but an attempt to remind audiences that we have finally reached a place of equality where interracial love is acceptable. Goldberg's character is utilized as a tool to encourage mediation between the lost Manny and his daughter Overall, Corrina, Corrina is a truly beautiful film that raises the question of African-Americans being accepted into white society and serves a message to illustrate the history of America's black peoples and how, really, we're all the same.

Don't overlook this one. The formula in this film has been done better before, but probably not among the romantic comedies churned out by Hollywood in the 80s and 90s.Corrina, Corrina is a mainstream Hollywood romantic comedy that unfortunately falls into some of the banal conventions of this often overworked genre. It is an overly simplistic, often implausible fantasy but is more than redeemed by its unorthodox (for Hollywood) direction, lighting, and acting.Also, the soundtrack (made up of jazz greats like Bill Evans) is one of the best I've heard in a mainstream flick.Oh yea, and Tina Majorino is spectacular.

This is a very endearing and heartwarming movie, I readily feel that it captures the delicate issue of mixed race relations during the 1950's with the right amount of poignancy and humor. Whoopi Goldberg is a delight and the whole cast works very well together. The film's setting had an added impact to me as it was filmed in my old neighborhood in Long Beach, California where i grew up and even though i grew up in the seventies i could easily identify with the events and characters. I fully recommend this as a film for the whole family.

Manny Singer (Ray Liotta) is a single parent to daughter Molly (Tina Majorino). Needing a housekeeper and a babysitter, he hires Corrina Washington (Whoopi Goldberg) to help run his household and take care of Molly. Molly is withdrawn and doesn't speak, a result of her mother's untimely death. Slowly, Corrina, cheerful and outspoken, wins the hearts of both Molly and her father. Unfortunately, it is 1950's America and a permanent relationship between Corrina and Manny seems remote. Can they make it work?This heartwarming story provides a humorous and poignant look at a bygone era. Goldberg shines in her portrayal of the no-nonsense housekeeper and Majorino is one of the cutest and most expressive child stars ever. The depiction of the fifties decade is beautifully realized through the costumes, interior design, and more. Although the story is somewhat slow-moving and reflective, there is enough humor and feel-good messages to win over the viewer. Recommended as a good alternative to the usual television fare for a peaceful Saturday night of enjoyment.
