Sex and the Single Girl

I try hard to avoid the blemishes in an actor's filmography, but I have to give in once I've seen the better movies of their career. It may be sinking to a new low, but I don't care since I know other people do it as well.

Sex and the Single Girl stars three actors I call favorites (Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda, Lauren Bacall) and an actress I moderately like (Natalie Wood). They're all good actors, so what are they doing in a movie like this? I mean, considering some of the movies they've been in, this is practically an insult.

Don't blame me. I knew this was a crap movie before I even saw it. (I was suckered in, I tells ya!) Curiosity got the better of me. Besides, I've seen enough good movies this year alone to tide me over. I need to see a bad movie every now and again too, you know.

This is just a downright silly movie. (The final third seals its fate.) It has its moments, but they're fleeting. I wouldn't say this is something I regretted watching once it was over. This is actually a good thing; I now have a guilty pleasure.

My Rating: ***
