I can hardly wait to see the movie and when i think of all the new things to talk about after we have seen it It will be great!

Luckymama58 · 03-28-2003, 12:16 PM

Well ladies, I finally got my copy from our generous friend and watched it right away. OMG I am in heaven!
I know the critics panned this movie, but I actually thought that it had a great plot. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering if they were going to pull it off or not. And it has a great surprise ending.
I know I am a bit predjudiced, but our Freddie was Dynamite in it too. He had such potential as an actor. It got me thinking about all the movies he could have made. And he was BUFF too. There is one scene with no shirt that ... well... lets just say I will need a carpet cleaner to get all the drool off the rug! LOL
It was WELL worth the wait!

Joy · 03-28-2003, 12:36 PM

Thanks for the review now i will definately be running to my mailbox! My mom could tell you I do that already as i wait for my ebay treasures but this will be a real Treasure!!!

Cheryl Harrell · 03-28-2003, 05:39 PM

I need to get my butt in gear & order this one! I know I'll be drooling...

Luckymama58 · 04-04-2003, 09:31 PM

I am just curious, has anyone else gotten the movie yet? I am dying to discuss it with everyone, but I know I can't before you see it because I don't want to spoil it for everyone. It does have a surprise ending. But I remember when we used to watch the shows and talk about them and drool over Freddie's finer attributes and believe me, there is plenty in this movie to drool about!

Cheryl Harrell · 04-04-2003, 11:11 PM

I just mailed in my order for it yesterday. I can't wait to see it! My hubby Mike said he saw it with his dad back in the 70's & they were curious to see how Chico was in another role. He said it was a pretty good movie.

I don't know if I saw it or not & won't until I see it. If our mail is slow-- grrr... LOL! Don't be afraid to spoil the ending. I am dying to know how it comes out.

Does he die in this movie or any sad scenes? Need to know in advance thanks folks! So I don't get caught by surprise & have to stop the vcr to get a hanky cuz I didn't know to have one in advance. Which happened with the E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY the first time I saw it. I learned after that to have the hankies ready whenever I watched it again...

Karen64 · 04-04-2003, 11:13 PM

I can't wait to recieve my copy!!!

Luckymama58 · 04-05-2003, 10:14 AM

No, Cheryl, he doesn't die, but there is plenty of suspense in this movie regarding whether or not they will pull off the heist. I think I enjoyed the movie more not knowing what would happen, that is why I don't want to spoil it. Hope your copies arrive soon ladies. I will warn you, due to unforeseen circumstances, the first few minutes of the movie was cut. She told me she set the timer late at night to tape this, and my hubby has done that too. With local stations, sometimes they change the times on their late night programing and it screws up the taping. Grrr. This was not the sellers fault tho, so I can be understanding about it. Actually if you listen to the dialogue, you can pretty much figure out what happened in the missing parts of the beginning. Maybe someday some channnel, like AMC, will run it again and we can get the whole thing. At least this is better than not having it at all. It was about 2 hours with the commercials anyway, so I don't think we missed more than about 15 minutes in the beginning, by my reckoning.

Cheryl Harrell · 04-05-2003, 03:44 PM

Thanks for the info! I know it's not her fault on the first 15 minutes being missing. Does anyone know what happened in the first 15 minutes & where I can get the first 15 minutes. LOL!

I'm glad he doesn't die. It sounds like a good movie & I can't wait to see it!

Prince · 04-05-2003, 05:48 PM

Hi,
Just wanted to tell you that the movie arrived in my mailbox the other day and OMG...you will all die when you watch this. I agree with everything that Lucky has said about our Freddie's performance. Great acting on Freddie's part. He just proved that he could play any type of role..and certainly had leading man qualities...great butt shots too. He is to die for to say the least. Like Lucky, since I have watched the movie...he has been in my thoughts so much. I can't help but wonder what kind of a career Freddie would have had...he was sooooooooooo talented.

I also received two Tony Orlando shows that Freddie was on and OMG....can he sing or what?? I always wondered...but no more. He blew Tony Orlando right out of the water. I thought of Mariposa when I heard him and how she will be blown away because she has always thought his voice was beautiful...and Mariposi....you will right on girl. BTW he sang "I've Got The Music In Me" and ...he put the music in me. He had great dance moves too. He was very funny in the skits with Tony and was oh so handsome. He made me proud!!

That's my review....so there!!! LOL

Signed,
An unbiased fan

MariposaLKB · 04-05-2003, 06:04 PM

You gonna share those Tony Orlando tapes? Since you knew enough to think of me when you heard Freddie singing on them, you KNOW I want copies!

As for the movie, I agree with Lucky as well. I will put in my two centavos as a writer and say that some of the dialogue was a bit dumb, though--but Freddie was wonderful! He had an intensity not very often seen on CATM, and his walk and his voice were both also rather different. The hips were really moving (hee hee), and the voice was always soft and sexy, even in anger. His looks were even more gorgeous than usual too! The plot was suspenseful and the ending a terrific twist--now if only those girls hadn't been quite so dim LOL!

Prince · 04-05-2003, 06:25 PM

Hi Mariposa,
Just to let you know...I got the tapes from the same person who shared the movie with us...you may want to contact her. I would copy them for you ...but you will get better quality if she sends them to you.

Of course I would share with you girl!!!

Prince · 04-05-2003, 10:26 PM

One more thing I forgot to mention....in the movie...Freddie speaks with the softest sexiest voice all the way thru the movie. I noticed it right away...it was awesome. I agree with Lucky again....his voice is so appealing.

Cheryl Harrell · 04-06-2003, 03:36 AM

Does this mean the lady who is selling the MILLION DOLLAR RIP OFF is also selling a tape of the Tony Orlando shows he was on? How much is she charging? I want one!

Joy · 04-06-2003, 11:51 AM

Trina is unsure who still wants a copy of the movie so if you requeted one and have not sent payment please let her know what you want to do thank you!
