4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful scenery. Truly a "wish I was there" feeling!, February 8, 2001

This review is from: A Weekend in the Country [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've rented this video 10 times so I figured it was time to buy it. I can't really explain what it is about this movie that I love so much but I can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. It takes place in Temecula California and if the movie does this location any justice, it's beautiful land. To be honest, I haven't seen the movie in about a year because my favorite video store went out of business and nobody else seems to have it. It's definately a movie worth seeing and if you're like me, you'll just have to own it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated comedy, July 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Weekend in the Country [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I don't know what the previous reviewer was watching, especially since Howie Mandel wasn't even in this film! If you like old-fashioned, verbally witty movies, then you will enjoy this. Jack Lemmon became cast in dramatic roles in his later films, and it's good to see him cut loose with a comedic role akin to his earlier films with Billy Wilder. Watch Peter's Friends as well...these two Rudner/Bergman scripts are extremely polished and a throwback to thirties Hollywood. Bright and funny.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Weekend in the Country [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My mom got this movie and at first, I didn't want to see it because the cover looked phony, but I decided if I didn't like the begining, then I would leave. But I didn't. It was great! It is set in Temecula, California and it's about a bunch of people coming to a Bed & Breakfast for a weekend in the country. It's pretty much about how they all come to meet each other. The scenery is great and it's really funny. Sure the cover is kind of dull, but this is a lesson that you can't judge anything by the cover.
