5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Comedy/Drama, July 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Just the Way You Are [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An excellent movie for any person who wishes he/she could hide or disguise a physical disability or abnormality. The storyline never seems to drag in this film, and the content as well as the concept of the plot keeps you interested from the beginning. Although this movie was not a blockbuster, it still has what it takes to leave you feeling good at the end. This movie will make you think about how differntly some people can be treated when in fact they are really no different than anyone else. I have a lower left leg deformity, and as a result a lot of people have treated me differently. I followed the same method that Kristy's character Susan did in the movie. I went to a ski lodge with a cast on my lower leg to hide my condition, and it was like being in a whole new world. What an inspiration this movie was!

This review is from: Just The Way You Are (DVD)

I loved this movie! Kristy McNichol was great.....I for one miss seeing her on TV and in films (except for "The Pirate Movie.") In this movie she portrays a flutist named Susan Berlanger. Susan had polio as a child and as a result must wear a leg brace that she feels keeps her from finding the love of her life. Because of this, she decides to settle for all that she thinks that she's worthy of....marrying a male friend of her's who happens to be gay, a marriage of convenience for both. He can carry on with men without being detected as gay at the company he works for and she can eliminate the pressure from her parents (and society)to be married, plus the added security of being taken care of. Anyway, Susan decides to break her engagement and take a once in a lifetime vacation at a French ski resort where she cleverly learns that she can exchange or disguise her leg brace for a cast and consequently, stop people from feeling sorry for her and staring at her because she has a leg brace. After carrying on numerous flirtations with several different men at the resort, she meets a handsome photographer played by Michael Ontkean and they fall in love but she's afraid that once he learns about her leg brace that he won't love her anymore. The popular Billy Joel tune of the same title will be in your head as you watch this film and, bottom line, who doesn't want to be loved "Just The Way You Are".....? P.S.-The ski resort scenery in the move is beautiful!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this movie, June 25, 1999

I have seen this movie more than once. Besides Kristy McNichol, there are many other great actors in it, such as Robert Carradine. I also really like the soundtrack (ABBA!) There are many cute moments in the movie, such as the dance scene and her "wonderful way of speaking french." It is a good movie to see on a lazy afternoon.
