Watch The Heidi Chronicles For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Fantastic!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

When I watched this movie, I did enjoy the depth and heart with which Jamie-Lee Curtis "Became" Heidi. Her Struggle for what she believed and wanted, even though it went against most people she knew, was epic and noble. The trials she went through were in a word, Unique, she was forced to ask whether she was able to cope with the fact that someone being a lesbian or homosexual, twice this was asked of her. But, being a man i could not get over the fact that men are shown as always being overbearing, ego-maniacal, heartless, womanizers. However, as i said, all of the actors did a splendid job in their roles. Probably the best part of the movie was the end, when, It was shown that Hedi had realized her dream, and not only had her own major exhibit but she had a family.

Jamie Lee Curtis obviously bonded with Wendy Wasserstein in a special way in this production. The life she gave to the character of Heidi Holland transcended acting and writing. The movie profiles Heidi as she raises her consciousness and her humanity by learning from life. The movie has a marvelous sense of humor and an even more delicious sense of irony. But it never sacrifices the integrity of any of its characters to score with a gag. Tom Hulce is marvelous as the boy who loves her but finds he also needs to get more in touch with who he is before he can commit. Peter Friedman, who played the father in the TV-series Brooklyn Bridge, is marvelous as the confident, yet shallow, Scoop Rosenberg. Sharon Lawrence and Roma Maffia are terrific in supporting roles.The direction from Wendy Wasserstein is quite impressive for a novice. The pacing is always brisk, but never brusque. The scenes weave seamlessly together like a perfect cross-stitch.I watch this movie in the aftermath of the World Trade Center terrorism. I desperately needed something to lift my spirits. The Heidi Chronicles did that job, and much more. It is a terrific movie.

Really a good movie! About woman(actually about all people),about life,about very basic elements in everyone's life... One of the most important points is:Peter and his friend Heidi, the difference between them and the common points of them, it makes you realize something simple but important...

While a bit *soft* at times, this film is well worth watching. It holds a deep message for all humans ... "to know who we are is the key to understanding others". It also tells us that TRUE friends are what make life worth living!Tom Hulce, winning an Emmy (long over due!) for his performance as Peter Patrone, is excellent! Not playing the sterotypical gay man, he shows us that we all have one thing in common ... we want to be loved for who we are!BRAVO!
