Fair - just fair..., January 30, 2008
This review is from: I Married Wyatt Earp (DVD)
While this may be a "must have" movie for Marie Osmond fans it just lacks everything else. The scenery is probably more "period accurate" than the sets in the movie Tombstone this film just lacks everywhere else. And I would expect better acting from a high school drama cast. Having watched all three of the current generation of Wyatt Earp movies (Wyatt Earp, Tombstone, I Married Wyatt Earp) I have to say that this is the worst of the three. I find Wyatt Earp's biography fascinating. Here's a man who was born in a time of no indoor plumbing, no roads, and everything west of the Mississippi just known as indian territory and who died in an era where there were automobiles, telephones, paved roads, metropolitian cities, and a more civilized society - what an interesting life he must have had! I was hoping this film would explore the personna of Josephine Marcus Earp so I could learn more about her and the man she married. Unfortunately it's just a re-hash of Wyatt Earp's life in the Tombstone era. If you need to kill a lot of time watch "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner. If you want to watch an outstanding and historically accurate film buy "Tombstone"

Good movie...but not historically accurate., November 9, 2005
This review is from: I Married Wyatt Earp (DVD)
After reading the book that this movie was based on, I was excited to watch it. The movie is a wonderful western, full of drama, action and of course romance. However for years I have been reading up on Tombstone as well as the feud that happened there many years ago, I was dissapointed at how innacurate the movie was historically as well as from the book "I Married Wyatt Earp". For example, Josie met Johnny first not Wyatt, that Josie had actually worked as one of the birdcage theater girls which is where her and Wyatt would meet most of the time and how after she first met Johnny she went home to S.F until Johnny sent for her to come to Tombstone. Not to mention that the movie never focused on the fact that because her and Johnny lived together for sometime, Josie got to know many of the "famous" cowboys that the Earps were against. The movie sadly focused on Josie and Wyatts time in Tombstone and portrayed her as a saint..which she was not. There was more to Wyatt and Josie's life after Tombstone, which is what the book is really based on.
I guess the bottom line is that for the price you can't go wrong. It is a good western and is very entertaining to watch. Marie Osmond as well as the other cast members do some wonderful acting, and the movie does help you to understand how the feud was probably started. However, if you want to have an accurate historical account on Josie and Wyatt Earps life, purchase and read the book first and then watch the movie. You'll get a whole lot more out of it that way.
