Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Edie and Pen are two women who've come to Reno to get divorced. Edie (Jennifer Tilly) already has a new fiancé lined up; Pen (Stockard Channing) can't quite get over the end of her nine-year marriage. After a brief drunken quest that leaves them stranded at the edge of town with Harry (Scott Glenn), a bitter cowboy whose wife just left him, the two women bond--but later that night it turns out they have more in common than they knew. Edie & Pen is full of quirky bit parts played by a wealth of character actors, but the grounded, well-crafted writing and warm performances keep things from getting too cute. Channing and Glenn have lovely chemistry, while Tilly gives charm and just enough weight to the ditzy Edie to make her relationship with Pen more than a gimmick. A modest but genuinely sweet movie. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description

In this delightfully witty, romantic gem, young idealistic believer Edie (Jennifer Tilly) and devastated Pen ("Grease's" Stockard Channing) meet in Reno, where both intend to get "quickie" divorces. The unlikely friends share a wild night of drunken adventure and soul searching with a local cowboy ("The Silence of the Lambs'" Scott Glenn) just dumped by his wife, encountering a quirky mix of characters along the way. Both funny and insightful, "Edie and Pen" dives into the gap between what men and women want... and what they end up with! Music by Shawn Colvin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST SEE FOR EVERY WOMAN!, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Edie & Pen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

THIS MOVIE IS A MUST FOR EVERY WOMAN (OR MAN) THAT HAS EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A DIVORCE FOLLOWED WITH A NEW RELATIONSHIP. THE DIALOG IS FULL OF THE LITTLE "TRUISMS" THAT WILL TOUCH ANYONE WHO VIEWS THIS FILM. "FUNNY"? ABSOLUTELY!! THIS IS A COMEDY IN THE TRUEST SENSE. JENNIFER TILLY AND STOCKARD CHANNING ARE HILARIOUS. I RECOMMEND SEEING THIS FILM NO LESS THAN TWO OR THREE TIMES, AS EACH TIME YOU WILL PICK UP ON A NEW PIECE OF THE PUZZEL THAT TIES THESE CHARACTERS. HOW MANY LITTLE "NUGGETS" CAN YOU FIND!! P.S. BETTER TO WATCH ALONE OR WITH A GIRLFRIEND. GUYS CAN HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH THIS MOVIE!
