Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Three Jewish widows meet on a regular basis at the cemetery where each has buried her husband. But talk about faux Jewry: The widows are played by Olympia Dukakis, Ellen Burstyn, and Diane Ladd. One is uptight, one is fun loving, and one is confused--and each is coping with the notion of starting a life with a new man. But only Burstyn is actually out there trying to begin anew, with the formulaically lovable Danny Aiello. Her romance drives a wedge between the friendship, but you won't care too much because the comedy (based on a Broadway play by Ivan Menchell) is so wan that it's almost nonexistent. And there's nothing these three veterans (or director Bill Duke) can do about it. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of life left, September 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Cemetery Club [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The acting and the basic theme of the film -- how people handle further attachments after losing a spouse -- are good. There are a number of funny lines and poignant moments. The main romance is handled well and realistically on an emotional level. The final scene in the music store was unfortunately marred by Ben's phoney stuttering when he tries to get out the word marriage. The idea is fine, but the execution seemed really hokey. All in all, an enjoyable film that had a lot of nice touches, particularly the bedroom/hotel night scene.

3.0 out of 5 stars cemetery club video verses the play, August 26, 2009
By Andry Isaksen "Supermom" (Nanaimo, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
The play I saw at Ladysmith's Little Theatre got in all the highlights without the swearing. Much more enjoyable for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute movie, May 13, 2009
I enjoyed this movie, it was very miscast but it has a charm all its own.
The cast is stellar and the movie does hold your attention.

So, if you want a nice movie see this one.

It really is changed too much from the original play. Changing characters names is just too much of a change.
