4.0 out of 5 stars for any Lucy/Desi fan, February 1, 2003

This review is from: Lucy and Desi:Before the Laughter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

personally, this movie was historically acurate. when it came to how they met, there probems on the set of "too many girls" what happens after the fimling, his wondering eye, how they made up in 1944 so she wouldnt go through with the divorce. how someone asked lucy if she would ever consider marrying desi and how she said no then he serprised her with a perposal. I also liked who they got to play Lucy and Bill Frawley.

The only conplaints I have about it is who they got to play Viv and Desi. for one the person they got to play Desi sounds like a new yorkin, and every once in a while has the accent, but then its not really "spanish"? and also how "Lucy" kept saying to "Desi" "you gorgeus Cuban this" and "you gorgeus Cuabn that"

Vivan's charecter didnt really look like her. personally, she looked like a drag queen with a bad make up job.

Over all though i would deffinitly recomened it to any lucy/desi fan. GET IT. The first time i saw it i didnt think it was anything good but i watched it a few times over and it was excellent. you really get a inside look of there problems and accoplishments.

this movie was horrible. that's basically all there is to it. the characters were creepy and phony. you may find it entertaining, but don't take it seriously.
