Surprisingly, very good!
Television movies generally do not come any better than this. Kirstey Alley takes over from Judith Light in the role of queen of the TV movies, and in that role she is a highly entertaining actress. Her comedic skills are among the best, and she is also competent in dramatic scenes. Graeme Clifford is a very talented veteran director who is responsible for at least one of my favorite films, "Frances" (1982), starring Jessica Lange. It was less of a shock how good this film was when I realized he directed it. The writers were also on top of their game, with many tongue in cheek references to classic films that probably half of the audience will miss. It enriches the film, though. The film is funny and there are moments when you will laugh out loud, or simply be enraged by how snobbish and ageist some of the 'suits' in the business are. In that respect, and in many others, this film is true to life. The representation of the job market, and how some employers fail to see the strengths in certain people, seemed accurate. The character development and performances were top notch, and the score was very nice. Highly recommended!
Pretty good...
The movie overall was pretty good.It follows a middle aged screenwriter Byrdie (Kirstie Alley) who can't sell a pitch because of her age. She gets her 25 year old nephew to pitch her ideas instead. He becomes the next hottest thing, but turmoil ensues. The main reason why the young man was her nephew was so that he was eliminated as a love interest. It was still odd that he lingered around the house and the very not aunt-like relationship they had. Kirstie's acting was brilliant, however, not everyone was as near as good. The storyline was a little bit predictable and didn't always catch my attention. The movie was okay. Hopefully, Lifetime will air it again. It was quirky and it's nice to see Kirstie working. It is enjoyable and funny.
Write and Wrong:*** Remember The Front?
As soon as I saw this film with Kirstie Alley, I was reminded of the great Woody Allen film "The Front." In that one, a blacklisted writer gives someone his scripts so that he can earn a living. In this one, scripts are given to a nephew by a veteran writer who is suffering from age discrimination. Kirstie Alley shows her talents as an extremely gifted actress. She is emotionally suitable for the role. Hard to believe that it has been over 20 years since she had a commanding performance as the emotionally disturbed slavery-hating Virgilia in the outstanding miniseries of "North and South." Why haven't there been better roles for Ms. Alley since then? We need to see more of her and I'm not talking about the Jennie Craig television commercials. This film beautifully details the misery caused by age discrimination as well as the fact that incompetent young people are pushed into important positions because of their youth.
Cute
I love Kirstie Alley...always have always will. But this is not one of my favorites. She is as funny as all get out, as usual. But it just didn't for it for me. I did like the idea though......a screen writer is suddenly too old to write for her studio so she enlists the help of her young nephew. She keeps writing and he poses as the writer and puts his name on her work. I couldn't help but think it was based on her own experiences....as she keeps saying in the movie "Write what you know". I felt it was a slight variation on the fact that the industry turned on her, Kirstie, when she became fat. It didn't matter how good she was....she was fat. So she had to make her own show, "Fat Actress". As you watch this movie, see if you don't pick up on that. The movie ended rather abruptly, but in general it was cute. Glad to see you "working" again Kirstie.
Refreshingly clean, entertaining movie - Write & Wrong
Much of the execution of this film is mediocre at best, but the story works, the acting is passable, and never once does the movie resort to least common denominators of sex or violence. Well, maybe a little implied sex early on, but nothing too raunchy. As a social commentary, Write and Wrong tackles a very real discrimination that plagues Hollywood. Age discrimination is clearly rampant in the acting world, but few are aware of its prominence in the writing world. Write and Wrong makes its audience aware of the issue without being bogged down in preachy overtones. Definitely worth a watch on a low-key, mellow evening!
