Editorial Reviews

Mary and Rhoda from television’s The Mary Tyler Moore Show are finally reunited. Mary returns to her native New York City following the death of her Congressman husband in a rock climbing accident. Similarly, Rhoda returns to New York City from Paris where she has just recently left and divorced her husband, Jean Pierre. Both Mary and Rhoda are trying to deal with their college-aged daughters. Mary’s daughter Rose is a student at New York University and Rhoda’s Meredith is pre-med at Columbia. They now face the challenges of motherhood and reestablishing their careers in a very difficult time. Once again, Mary and Rhoda take on these challenges by trusting their intuition with that distinct sense of humor and sophistication they made famous in the original television series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Valerie Harper Could Spit in a Jar and Get Four Stars November 12, 2004

By Joseph Johnson

Format:DVD

Personally, I think that "Rhoda" is an even better than "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," so this reunion special was my chance to see Rhoda, from the "Rhoda" show, back after her series ended in 1978.

Now, I was disappointed in how Rhoda married some French jerk despite Mary's advice not to. Anybody who loves the "Rhoda" show knows that Rhoda got to a place in 1978 where she did not need to marry just any man, certainly not a player that she should be able to see a mile away. The character had grown to enjoy her own company, and now she needed a man, and I mean any man, all over again. It just was not honest, and it was a slap in the face to "Rhoda" show fans. Now, I love Mary Tyler Moore, but the more interesting reunion would have been between Valerie Harper and Julie Kavner. Obviously, they were even more magical together. Still, all in all, both Harper and Moore were very entertaining and I do love these women together. Harper was her wonderful offbeat self with her crazy cheese dinner and wild religion search, and that Mare sure has spunk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moore Mary and Rhoda is Needed in the World! March 29, 2004

By Robert Johnson

Format:DVD

I've loved the freindship between Mary Richards and Rhoda Morgenstern since the 70's. I am a huge fan of both "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Rhoda." And I was looking forward to the ABC TV series that was going to bring these gals back together again in a 1/2 hr. situation comedy, since that never happend, a reunion took place in a 2 hr. TV Movie instead. I loved it! It was great to catch up with both of their lives and I was surprised to discover they had a falling out and hadn't spoken to each other in years. Due to the recent events in their lifes, both Mary and Rhoda were in need of each others company and by chance run into each other in New York City. I thought the writing and storyline was done very well. The scenes filmed around NYC were very appropriate and the humor was right on. I was not disappointed but rather overjoyed to see these two beautiful characters back in action--and looking very well I might add. An added bonus was seeing that Mary and Rhoda each have college aged daughters and the four of them meet for the first time. I'd love to see more of them together and I think the TV series would have worked. If you haven't seen this movie it is worth the purchase price. I just hope more seasons of the MTM show will be released on DVD to satisfy my Mary & Rhoda hungar. Keep them coming!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mary and Rhoda March 23, 2006

By Gregory Shanley

Format:DVD

I have to say I was very disappointed with this film and I love Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper.

It starts off great with flashbacks of Rhoda and Mary Richards,then there is no mention of the other cast of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show",Lou,Ted,Phyllis,or Sue-Ann.

They both now have a daughter each,and then the film gets very heavy and could easily just be another movie of the week.

Its just a shame that none of the orginal writers of "The Mary Tyler Moore",Treva Silverman and Allan Burns weren't involved.

I hope a better reunion movie of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"/"Rhoda" is made.
