WHAT were they thinking?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dinner at Eight [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Whoever took it into his mind to do a TV-movie version of the classic 1933 Dinner at Eight should be lashed until he faints. Badly-cast and ineptly re-written, this horror is actually painful to behold. If this is the only version of Dinner at Eight your video store has, then for goodness sake just read a book tonight. END

Witless, charmless, unimpressive. Except for Hamlin's abs.,
By Josie Davis (Fort Worth, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dinner at Eight [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Truly awful, this. Bacall has all the subtlety and comic timing of...well, Lauren Bacall when miscast and misdirected. John Mahoney has some redeeming moments, and Harry Hamlin (in the John Barrymore role) isn't really half-bad; once you accept that his character would do shirtless stomach crunches to impress his young girlfriend. (Sure, Barrymore was brilliantly hammy...but never beefcake. Nobody ever asked to see HIS abs.) All in all, an embarrassment that isn't even Bad Campy Fun. It's just Bad.
