Editorial Reviews

Jack Lemmon and Julie Andrews, two screen legends with eleven Academy Award nominations between them, grace the screen in Blake Edwards' human comedy "That's Life!". Lemmon frantically portrays Harvey Fairchild, a wealthy California architect, father of three successful children, husband to a beautiful wife and neurotic as hell. Confronted with his 60th birthday, Harvey is coming down with a severe case of male menopause. Julie Andrews is Gillian Fairchild, the loving, supportive wife of ranting Harvey. Gillian's got her own problems: she's nervously awaiting the results of her hospital tests. One daughter is going through a breakup, the other is seven months pregnant...and son Josh has brought home another brainless beauty. This chaotic clan has all gathered to welcome Harvey into old age.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor DVD version, March 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: That's Life! (DVD)

This is a great movie but unfortunately this DVD version is very poor indeed. The picture quality is sad. It seems all that was done was the transfer of the video print on to DVD. The picture is even un-steady during the final credits scene. The sound is mono. No extras to this DVD at all. If you own the video of this film don't bother to purchase this DVD. On top of all of this, the price of this DVD is the same as most other DVDs that contain remastered prints, stereo sound, and extras. This is a very good film and it deserves a quality release, not this cheaply done version.

5.0 out of 5 stars See the movie before you review it !!!!!, August 14, 2001

Kurt Stoehr (Clovis, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: That's Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The main character, Harvey Fairchild, is an ARCHITECT. This is critical to the story and to much of the dialog.

My wife and I love this film; it's witty, fun, sad, and relevant to our world today. It's really about a man's mid-life crisis and his revelation about what is REALLY important in life, like family, love, admitting to yourself that you're human.

1.0 out of 5 stars A pan and scan disaster!, May 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: That's Life! (DVD)

If ever there was a movie director in Hollywood who knew how to use the "scope" aspect ratio to perfection, it's Blake Edwards! So when Pioneer/Artisan decided to release this very interesting film in pan and scan format only, they managed to ruin it completely! Every single camera setup clearly tells me that this was not the vision of Mr. Edwards and his camera crew, so why bother to watch? As far as I'm concerned, I find this DVD defective, and - thankfully - that is also the opinion of my dealer. A big boo to Pioneer and Artisan!
