Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe line Bucky Terranova (Joe Mantegna) used when he first meets Tally Atwater (Michelle Pfeiffer) - "Your voice is full of money" - was from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby". In The Great Gatsby (1974), Robert Redford played the title role.
- GoofsTally is supposedly in the prison with one camera, yet shots beamed live from her include shots of her camera crew holding a camera. In addition we see cutting of shots between Tally and Fernando as if there were two cameras there.
- Quotes
Tally Atwater: Do you want to be with me?
Warren Justice: So much it hurts.
Featured review
You know how there are some movies which you know you're not supposed to like but end up liking anyway? That perfectly describes this movie. This umpteenth re-telling of A STAR IS BORN is sappy, unbelievable(while previous "Norman Maine" characters are down because of alcohol, Redford's character is down because of his "integrity." Yeah, okay), and contains an unbearable Celine Dion(of course, in my opinion, unbearable and Celine Dion is redundant, but that's my opinion). But darn it if the romantic chemistry between Redford and Pfeiffer doesn't make this worth watching. And say what you want about director Jon Avnet(and I'm not a fan of his), he knows how to direct actors. Joe Mantegna, Stockard Channing, and Kate Nelligan are all excellent here. You may not like yourself for liking it, but there you go.
