honesty

This is a potentially funny situation and it reaches (almost) all the goals it sets for itself. Candy did it in 'Only the Lonely' but this is different Albert is not naturally as funny and any way he's got a delight of a brother. I guess it could have taken some of the funny situations a little further which it doesn't rate a 10 but nonetheless it is a good movie and well worth the time it takes to watch.

What a disappointment after all the hype a certain black T.V. talk show hostess laid upon us. I understand it is a piece of American history but it could have been made palatable if the mystery of who-done-it was further explored, I mean after all it took then 30 years to find out who did it so why couldn't it have taken just a little longer than 15 minutes to tell us? Many stars got a piece of this film and most of them read the lines pretty well but the lines were crumby and I predict that this film will fade quickly into obsurity where it belongs and maybe some day someone will make an interesting movie about this interesting piece of history.

I've had the pleasure many years ago of reading the original story which was called "The Maneaters of Kuhoman" (please excuse the spelling as I don't have the book in front of me.) The real story is so much more exciting and fast-paced that it seems strange the movie wasn't able to reproduce that excitement. While the story was exciting in parts I found it tended to draw out too much between interesting scenes. If anyone out there really has the patience to read a good book the original story will blow you away compared to this watered-down version.
