DVD Reviews of Sooner or Later
DVD Review: Sooner or Later a great little movie comes along!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was a great find. I bought it for two reasons - One: the reviews were very positive and; Two: I really enjoy trying to find "older" nostalgic movies. I did not know a lot about Rex Smith - only from his "Solid Gold" hosting days. This movie far exceeded my expectations. Everything I had read about it and other peoples comments were true. It really took me back to a time when video games, computers and constant TV viewing was not a way of life for everyone. Life was a lot simpler, people had a kinder way about them and kids got out and enjoyed their free time without relying on electronic games to do their thinking and playing. Being outdoors and in the fresh air was your life.
Do yourself a huge favour and see this movie. Even if you do not know who Rex Smith is, if you don't know his music, or even if you were not born in the 1970's (by the way I was 8 years old when this movie was made) - take a chance on this movie. You will be pleasantly surprised at how lovely a film it is.
The lead role played by Denise Miller is beautifully acted. The songs are catchy and fun. They are sung by Rex, who has a terrific voice and heart-throb good looks to carry this role through. A perfect combination to make this a very believable story. By the way, how dreamy is the "Simply Jessie" song? What teenage girl didn't dream of being sung to like that by their favourite rock star.
Hope that you enjoy this film too!!!!!
DVD Review: Sooner or Later Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It's so wonderful to find these older movies on amazon.com. I really enjoy revisiting the way they made me feel when I first watched them all those years ago. If I can't find what I'm looking for here then it's not available anywhere. Thanks Amazon.comDVD Review: DVD "Sooner or Later"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most romantic movies I've seen in quite awhile and I remember it from when I was a kid. One of the best things about the movie is all the great music in it. There is a deeper message here too that is good for young adults to know about. DVD Review: Sooner or Later
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a wonderful movie...I fell in love with Rex Smith when i seen him star Sooner or Later...I wanted to meet him but never got a chance to...although years later Rex Smith sent me an autograph picture of him and that is a dream come true for me...I still love him and always will...this movie gave alot of girls inspiration to go out and buy his albumn and collect his pictures...playing this movie all over again just brought back wonderful memories of him...i wanted to be that girl in the movie who he said i love you...i am not the only female felt that way...i had his poster in my bedroom and always dreamed of him...i love you Rex Smith...DVD Review: Very good movie, but I think a teen should be at least 14 before watching it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie a couple of times when I was about fourteen. And all these years later it always stuck in my head. Recently I went online and bought it. When I was a little girl and watched it the scenes I remembered most was her being upset after the breakup and eating all that chocolate. When she had her makeup done at the mall and Michael fell for Jessie he kept staring at her. Other then that I didn't really remember most of it. I guess I was to young to be into the whole dating scene. I think it's a great story and gosh forgot how unbelievably cute Rex Smith is. Denise Richards was a real pretty girl to bad she didn't go onto more things. Rex Smith also did a great job but I guess he's into broadway shows nowadays. The only thing I would say is I would watch this with a teenage daughter because even though it's a clean movie. Some of the messages are not good. Like was she expected to go all the way with him even if she was sixteen some of us girls wait in a relationship, and they didn't know each other very long. Also her parents didn't seem to know what was going on with her and most parents would care if their 13 year old daughter was dating a 17 year old, that is a big age difference at that age. But don't get me wrong I still love the movie and would recommend it to any teen as long as they understood some of these things. But I think the message at the end was good because Michael said it was up to her to set the pace and that he loved her and would wait. That's the message girls need to know that it's ok to wait and if someone really cares for you they will.
Description of Sooner or Later
Studio: Henstooth Video Release Date: 03/13/2001 Run time: 96 minutes Rating: NrWhen 13-year-old Jessie (Denise Miller) goes to the Eddie Nova Guitar Institute, she's stunned to discover her teacher is Michael (Rex Smith), a 17-year-old aspiring local musician she'd just seen play with his rock band at the local shopping mall--and with whom she was instantly smitten. Through the grace of makeup, Jessie can pass for 16, and she tells Michael that's her age when he gives her a ride home from class one week. They start to flirt. When Michael invites her to a band rehearsal, they kiss for the first time; when he invites her to a drive-in movie, things start moving just a little too fast, and Jessie has to quickly decide whether or not to confess. Sooner or Later is full of 1970s schmaltz--Michael's songs sound like a cross between Electric Light Orchestra and the Starland Vocal Band--but it's also an extremely well written and deftly acted coming-of-age story. Both leads are excellent and the supporting cast is full of smart character actors: Judd Hirsch, Barbara Feldon (better known as "99" on Get Smart!), and Lynn Redgrave. What could be an overdone teen potboiler is given humor and realism; it treats young love seriously but with perspective, and without a trace of condescension. A truly charming and enjoyable film. --Bret Fetzer
