Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
jhnnyt Not often I leave reviews, but after watching this rather forgotten movie classic I felt the need to encourage others who have yet the pleasure to become acquainted (lol) with this classic. Great cast, Audrey Hepburn is simply fantastic, watta sexy female actor, who you can't keep your eyes off. Carry Grant is again as in most of his work, excellent, in this well paced, fast super charged who done it? It's great, that's why the average score is 8, I might of given this a 9, which I rarely do, but this, well its just a cut above the rest. Thrilling exciting, sexy, great plot, some stunning architectural highlights that caught me, but this movie will probably grab your full attention, with some other detail, simply a stunningly sumptuous thriller with laughs. Cue Cary Grant, the supporting cast of Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy plus all others are all outstanding. Let's also give credit to the writer's for a great script, Peter Stone.Thanx for this gem, great movie, great cast, great everything. Much appreciated by myself, so I hope to spread the joy.... Cheers John
Nadstratosfer Gonczy With a whopping 8.0 rating, I expected it to be a fun 60's ride similar perhaps to "Penelope" or "Pink Panther". Turns out to be nothing like these. It's slow and talky. The mystery is barely there, the romance is unbelievable and the comedy and thriller bits get tired quickly because of poor script and heavy-handed direction. Rather than charming and feminine female character I always turn to older movies for, Hepburn is cold and hysterical. No help comes from unmotivated Grant, and Matthau, Coburn and Kennedy are all underused. The most dumbfounding disappointment though is the location: despite being shot in Paris, the movie stays mostly inside seedy hotel rooms and offices, and even when the action takes us outside, we're treated to process shots and fake backgrounds. This gives the film the hopeless, depressing feel of a Disney sitcom, where you know nothing exciting is going to happen as the plot won't escape the constrains of the 5 rooms it's trapped within.Pros: Henry Mancini score, some witty dialogue in the first actCons: Boring, contrived, claustrophobic
Fi I first saw charade when I was 14. I had found it amongst a few surviving video tapes in my parents bedroom. I was playing hooky that day, and I decided to see the movie. I dragged my father's ancient VCR out of the storage room and started the film. Of course at first I was bored. I was used to seeing modern crap, but then before I knew it I was pissing on the cowling. I had fallen in love with the film. Charade is a forgotten Masterpiece, it has a stellar cast, (screen legends Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Mathua), great characterization, and of course a great plot. Those of you who have seen Cary Grant films know that normally he's the romantic guy, but in this film hes multi layered and puts on a very dynamic performance. The cinematography is futuristic, the music is cool and gives you this eerie feeling. Hitchcock's overrated north by Northwest is utter crap compared to this!!!!!!
ipruben I don't often laugh in the movies but this one made me laugh out loud a cople of times.The story is boring and simple, in a bad way. A wife to be widow, knows nothing about his husband. When he dies, Regina (Audrey) gets in the middle of an intrigue to find some mysterious money that his husband stole years ago. The movie try to make you think that someone is the bad guy and then kills him. Repeat until there is only one left. They find the money, end of the story.Two dimensional characters, very unreasonable romance. Boring, and simple. The charm of the 2 main characters kind of save the movie, but in my opinion is very very overrated.
