This review is from: Incredible Shrinking Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this, i think, is one of lily tomlin's best along with 9 to 5. its about a normal mother who starts having problems when she begins shrinking due to houehold products. this is such a classic i am surprised it is out of print.
i remember watching it as a kid and laughing at the part of edith ann. years later when renting it, that part was taken out. i have no idea why. years after that i happened to catch it on tv and they were showing the original version with that scene added in.Why did they take that part out? Hmmmmmm that is what i love about lily tomlin. she can play all these characters so hilariously. and that part where the gorilla gave the people in the elevator a less then friendly sign language gesture was hilarious. if you can find this watch this. lily tomlin is one of my favorite actresses and i wish she was in more movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Constant entertainment!, December 20, 2001

This review is from: Incredible Shrinking Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This has to be one of my all time favorite comedies! Though the title is b-flickish, the quality is not. With funny jingles for in movie products, multiple character roles by Lily Tomlin, and comedy with a likeness to other films staring Lily, like "Big Business", this films safe enough for the little ones, and funny enough not to be allowed to go un-watched!

The story needs no explination, just read the title! Then imagine the fame someone would get (wanted, or as unwanted as it might be), the humor of trying to run a normal household while loosing inches to feet of height in just days, and the danger of coverup and possible profit by those who lead to the unusal affliction.

Get it! Watch it! And watch it again!

This review is from: Incredible Shrinking Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It would be amazing in reality if products can really do to a person what they did to Pat Kramer (aka Lily Tomlin) in this spoof of the feminine side to The Incredible Shrinking Man. Pat Kramer who is a well-known and well-loved citizen in a town where she always shops, where her neighbors love her and know everything about her, and her husband (Charles Grodin) who is into advertising and coming up with names for products, which Pat just happens to try at home, do something to her matabolism. The special effects that show her shrinking are quite awesome and amazing. The dolls and toys scene is hillarious! And the ape Sidney at an institute where Pat gets kidnapped because they want to do experiments on her blood as to why she's shrinking. What amazes me is when Pat was on the podium on her last shrinking phase telling everyone she's about to go, she swims in a pool of fabric softener and comes back???? As funny as it seems they leave you hanging at the end cause when her husband tries to put her wedding ring back on, it won't go and she GROWS and her shoes explode. One thing I will say is at the end the little jingle that they use for the glue product GALAXY GLUE it is an annoying and catchy won't get out of your head tune sung by an unknown named LINDA NOVEMBER but as I said if you have nothing else better to do, this movie is one to watch in the humorous stage. The ape to me seems to steal the show when he helps Pat escape from the institute. I hope that they RErelease this movie on DVD cause it is a cult classic if there ever was one. It stars Ned Beatty (Superman, Superman II, Deliverance, The Toy), Charles Grodin (Seems Like Old Times, Mupper Caper, The Woman In Red, Midnight Run, Beethoven), Lily Tomlin (playing three parts herself, her neighbor Judith, and the one she played on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In the snorty annoying operator which you'll only see once so don't miss it!) and a cameo appearance by Mike Douglass who had a talk show back in the mid 80's. Let's hope that this will come out on DVD....anyone else think so?
