WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

JasparLamarCrabb While it's unlikely to make anyone forget Preston Sturges, SUNBURN is an amiable screwball comedy. Pairing the effervescent Farrah Fawcett with the angst-ridden Charles Grodin has a lot to do with that. They make a good pair. The plot involves insurance investigator Grodin looking into a suspicious death in Mexico (his company is expected to payout $5,000,000). He hires Fawcett to act as his wife and along with wily private eye Art Carney they uncover a plot involving murder, blackmail and more than a few unpleasant characters. Fawcett and Grodin are a fun couple and Carney steals his scenes. The cast is peppered with a lot of names including Eleanor Parker, Seymour Cassel, William Daniels, John Hillerman and Keenan Wynn, though they really have little to do. Joan Collins of all people is hilarious as a nymphomaniac who gives Grodin a real run for his money. SUNBURN is the epitome of fluff, directed with a surprisingly light touch by Richard C. Sarafian, who specialized in films involving a lot of brutality (VANISHING POINT, LOLLY MADONNA XXX).

shelly10538 It's not "Citizen Cane" nor is it suppose to be, but I will always love this movie. Definitely makes me think of the late 70s, with it's visuals and "neat-o" soundtrack with cool songs by Wings and 10cc. I seen it on Showtime in about 1981 and have loved it ever since. I also remember that I just about flipped when it played "With a little luck" at the end. Charles Grodin is hilarious and Farrah is stunning. Joan Collins is kind of a hot cougar as well, if you are into horny old winos, which I must be. It'd make a great triple feature of late 70s light entertainment and music with "Xanadu" and "FM". Perfect movie to watch on an air conditioned hot summer day.

moonspinner55 Based on Stanley Ellin's not-bad mystery novel "The Bind", "Sunburn" became Farrah Fawcett's second attempt to resurrect her TV golden-touch at the movies (it drove her back to television after one more try, the sci-fi bomb "Saturn 3"). It has amusing fashions and disco music, a pleasant ambiance at the outset, lots of sand and sunshine, but a script that becomes murky early on. There are too many sub-plots and incidental characters here (such as Joan Collins in an indescribable bit). The central relationship between insurance investigator Charles Grodin and model Fawcett (posing as his wife) is curious but unsatisfying, and Art Carney has very little to do as a gumshoe. Not a disaster by any means, and '70s aficionados will soak up the clichés, but it's easy to see why "Sunburn" never attained much of a following: it's a commercial for Acapulco--not a movie. *1/2 from ****

Wizard-8 Despite being labeled as a comedy, "Sunburn" really isn't one - its aim seems to be a light-hearted mystery. But there really isn't much mystery in this movie - much of the footage is more or less padding. I started to grow impatient as the movie progressed. I didn't find any of the going-ons amusing in any way. Also, there is some very bad editing that really sticks out like a sore thumb.I was prepared to hate F.F.'s performance, but I was surprised. She isn't great, but her acting is a lot better than you'd think. And it's nice that her character isn't the expected bubblehead, but someone with average intelligence, and isn't a screaming wimp. However, the romantic pairing of F.F. and C.G. is one of the strangest and most unlikely pairings in motion picture history!
