1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious TRASH, February 27, 2004

By 

Robert (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goodbye Norma Jean [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Depicts Marilyn as a naive dumbe blonde, with that breathy voice, which was only an act pushed by the studios. It doesn't even have her hair color right. It's a man-hating revenge film. She undergoes endless abuse, including the "casting floor", but wins out in the end by becoming Mariyn the star.
Terrible script; terrible acting. Not graphic, but there is some nudity. Not even the saving grace of an attractive cast to offset the bad quality. Misty Rowe is painful to watch as Marilyn Monroe- what a travesty! This is a very bad exploitation film, with little relation to reality.

1.0 out of 5 stars How to Ruin the Public Image of a Star to Help Cover Up Her Murder, November 3, 2006

Gene Bolin "Gene Bolin" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goodbye Norma Jean (DVD)

I saw this movie years ago and thought, "How degrading!" Why would someone put such tripe out there to destroy the image of such a delightfully loving person? I was really upset about it. A review reporter agreed with me and said her estate should sue. This movie was made prior to the Marilyn and the Kennedy investigation became public. When most people died, in due time they are forgotten, but Marilyn kepted getting more popular, even with people who weren't even born at the time of her beginning stardom or her death. I feel this movie was made to try and cheapen her so that the public would forget her and never care to find out what really happened. Misty Rowe did a fantastic job in this movie, but I feel that its effect caused Marilyn fans to personally blame her for cheapening Marilyn's image when in all truth it was the producers and writers of the movie that did. I'm glad I got the movie. It lets me know how far some will go to make money off trying to destroy the innocents of the world.

1.0 out of 5 stars THE WORST MOVIE EVER, March 16, 2007

By 

evak "shade" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goodbye Norma Jean (DVD)

This is the worst movie of Marilyn Monroe ever. I did't even get to finish it and had to take it out and hope I can re-sell it, or even give it away. The actress who plays Marilyn looks like Reese Witherspoon, nothing like Marilyn. Don't waist your money buying this is pure junk.
