Reviews

my trepidation upon watching this wasn't Michael J Fox. I've long thought that the knocking he takes is nothing to do with him being a poor actor. Far form it, he's a great actor. The bad mouthing is because of his success. It becomes 'trendy' to put a successful actor down.

Any trepidation I had was purely down to the fact that it was described as a rom-com. And it isn't. Not really. It's only a rom-com in the way that Groundhog Day is a rom-com. It has a magic that lifts it far above labelling it as a rom-com.

Fabulous little movie that deserves a space on anybody's DVD shelf.

A superb debut as James Bond by Roger Moore. Although I had previously seen Diamonds Are Forever (and loved it), this, at the age of 9, was my first real introduction to James Bond, the first time I actually realised that it was James Bond I was watching rather than a particularly cool film, which is what I'd remembered about DAF.

I walked out of the cinema a James Bond fanatic. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this movie, and no doubt on nice sunny nights, after a good family barbecue, or a day at the beach, I'll settle down to watch this masterpiece of 'popcorn for the eyes' again. Probably with my little boy who has developed his Dad's love of all things James Bond. And everybody should have a film or two which is just 'popcorn' for their eyes, too, don't you think? Is my review of this film based on sentimentalism as much as anything else? You bet! Does it change anything? Nope! And it never will!
