Pretty Good
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a wonderful Ray Bradbury story. Four men who believe a special suit will change their lives, set upon a plan to purchase said suit, and it does. But is it because of the suit or because they mustered the courage to believe that the change was possible. The fifth man wonderfully played by Edward James Almos is content as he is but gets sucked into the plan and ends up changing in spite of himself. Sid Ceasar and Howard Morris, two fine actors from the golden age television play the shop owners who sell them the suit. Gregory Sierra is too fine for words. Joe Montagna is wonderful in this. Clifton Collings is adorable. And Esai Morales.......you have to rent "The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca" another fine work with Esai. One critique. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed that there is no sound track for this or DVD. The opening song done in English and Spanish is a very fine piece and the songs sung my Esai Morales are very much worthy of a soundtrack. Someone really goofed on that one.
i LOVED this movie...in these times in which hardly ANY movies are made appropriate for any age, this movie is a gem! the acting is superb - every person in this movie could have won an oscar...the music is great...the cinematography is on point...everything was as it should be...
Again a wonderful ensemble of actors. Ray Bradbury fans will love this movie. The soundtrack is most excellent. Each of the main characters has their own particular charm and failing. Their chaotic search of a better life bring them together in a most unusual way.
The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, from the magical opening credits, to the heart-warming end, holds your attention with humor and music. This movie has the heart and soul of an old-fashioned musical. This movie rates a 9 out of 10!
