tbills2 OMG! Who's that beauty? San-dra Bull-ock?? Hmmm, interesting. She's really attractive, and sweet. She might consider a new hairdo, and a new pair of glasses, and maybe dressing a little nicer. I would like to see her like that. I bet she'd look so good. She needs a new car too. She's got big front teeth, and kind of bushy eyebrows. That's really no big deal. She's so cute. God, I love her. She's gonna be a big star, I know it. Love Potion No. 9, from 1992, is really good with lots of cats, a stunningly beautiful Sandra Bullock, and a couple chimps, including a Tate Donovan too. She got pulled over again, oh, Sandra's thinking about taking the love potion, yeah, she just took it. The cop lets her go! He must be smitten, I wonder why. What is happening here, why is everybody geeking out around Sandra?? The love potion? What is going on? This is weird. Sandra Bullock's so beautiful, I love her. This girl's single, no way, she's got a beautiful smile. I'm crushing pretty hard on Sandra right now. This movie's really good. O M holy G.....
Mr Black Well, I bought this movie only because I barely remember it from when it came out, and the fact that Sandra Bullock was the star. I've always liked her. WEll, I'm glad I only paid a dollar for it because it certainly is not on my 'watch again' list anytime soon, or ever. While it had potential to become a funny, if somewhat silly movie, some parts of it were just too stupid. Mainly, this is so "written by an American" it's kind of laughable. The "Secret Service" does no follow British royalty around with motorcycles, motorcades etc,, they have their own people to do that. Secondly, the whole set up was laughable. "You are the Prince of what?" "The Prince of England." This could have only been written by an American. There is no 'Prince of England." But you can tell it was written by someone who clearly has no knowledge of international ways. I'm still laughing over that.
bkoganbing I suppose that any of us living in urban areas have many times wanted to visit one of those basement apartments inhabited by alleged gypsies who have all kinds of cures for whatever ails you. If it's an affair of the heart there are test model love potions running all the way from one to Love Potion No. 9.Poor nerdy Tate Donovan can't seem to get a date nowhere, no how is persuaded by friends to visit one of those gypsies played with real bite by Anne Bancroft. She gives him Love Potion No. 8 and the stuff really does work. And Donovan being a biochemist actually figures out just how. In fact he and colleague Sandra Bullock try and boy do they like it and each other. But they have to experiment and Bullock hits the jackpot with the Prince of Wales played by Dylan Baker over here on a goodwill visit across the pond. He gets within the prescribed distance of Bullock and she could be the next Queen of Great Britain. As for a girl that Donovan's been putting his normally clumsy moves on, Mary Mara, she winds up in the end with more boyfriends than she could possibly have time for.It all comes to a head when a guy Bullock has been off and on seeing for years all of a sudden becomes madly infatuated with her again and they're about to be wed. Dale Midkiff of course has an agenda of his own and if Donovan's to stop him he'll need out of Anne Bancroft's medicine cabinet, the latest model, Love Potion No. 9.Donovan and Bullock are amusing and the rest of the cast gives them good support. I think you'll get a laugh from the doings at 34th and Vine and a little bottle of Love Potion No. 9.Good for what ails you.
xavrush89 Guilty because I know if I admit how much I like it, I might lose some cred as a film buff. But it's a great fairy tale, Anne Bancroft's brief scenes are funny, and Tate Donovan is a man I can get behind! The scene where the nasty superficial gal crushes his ego at the bar must really hit home with a lot of men. And say what you want about Bullock, but here she shows why she became a huge star with her megawatt smile! But my favorite is Mary Mara, a great character actor given a chance to play a broadly funny, well, broad. If you ask me, Pretty Woman is overrated and this movie is underrated!
