Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Hitchcoc We have become a bit jaded with our access to movies these days. There was a time when I would get home from work really late and just turn on the late show. It didn't matter if I had heard of the movie being shown. I started watching this at 11:00 p.m. and knew I had to get up early. But I was hooked. I had seen Hoffman in "The Graduate" and was intrigued by Mia Farrow. This is such a gentle story, a slice of life. It was so real the way they acted on impulse and then began questioning their judgment. What is really interesting is that there was never anything sleazy or smug about the presentation. The actors are superb and handled it delicately, exposing fears and fragility. Take a chance and get this from Amazon or Netflix. You won't be sorry.

brefane Creepy film takes place in a vacuum. Though there are location shots of late 60s NYC, the atmosphere feels like the NYC of I Am Legend. Hot off of Rosemary's Baby and The Graduate, Mia Farrow and Dustin Hoffman play 2 characters who have nothing to offer each other or the audience and who seem to take forever to do whatever it is they do. Does anyone want these 2 to get together? Pete Yates directed this weird yawner complete with dull performances, zero pacing and pointless flashbacks and a script with less meat on its bones than the film's leading lady. Advertised as a love story, John and Mary with its endless, tedious, narcissistic self-analysis feels more like David and Lisa.

Syl Mia Farrow still had the Vidal Sassoon hairstyle from the Rosemary's Baby in this film production. She played Mary, a single New Yorker who lived in Turtle Bay section of New York City. She meets John played by Dustin Hoffman. They have one night together after meeting in a New York singles bar. When they wake up the next morning, they have a lot to learn about each other. Neither John nor Mary are baggage free. The New York City locations add to the film's scenic appeal. The performances from Farrow and Hoffman are believable and genuine. The relationship between these two characters are realistic and believable. Too bad, we didn't see more of Olympia Dukakis, Marian Mercer, Tyne Daly, and Alix Elias in the film. This film is a character study of an unlikely couple.

LOVEfords This is a fine little movie. It is a great commentary at the way young singles acted out their lives at the start of the anything-goes ME era. It's worth watching just to hear Mia say that line about breakfast. I remember at the time it was released that Dustin Hoffman was a bit unconvincing as a swinging single, since it had only been about 3 years since Mrs. Robinson seduced him after he spent the afternoon floating around the family pool. When you watch "John and Mary", enjoy the great on-location filming, and keep a sharp lookout for when the two title characters actually introduce themselves by name to each other, lest you miss this touching moment.
