Jeff's Reviews

Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

The Woman in Red (1984)

Directed by Gene Wilder

Starring Gene Wilder, Kelly LeBrock, Charles Grodin, Joseph Bologna

Author

A comedy made in a time when real stories could be told without the shackles of superficial humor and before every line had to set up a joke. Unfortunately, the comedy that IS there isn’t funny enough.

Wilder is tolerable but not magnetic. LeBrock is smashing. Would have liked to see her character developed a bit more.

Could have sworn the Chris DeBurgh song was in this one, but I guess not. This was the first “adult” movie my Mom ever took me to.
