DVD Reviews of Stay Hungry
DVD Review: Awful, just awful.
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is so bad...I mean...uh...how can I describe how bad it is? It's so bad...it's just terrible. Even if you had an obsessive desire to see a young Sally Field nude, or Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the violin in an inbred-hillbilly ho-down,this movie would still make you angry for the time lost. The exaggerated southern drawl, the many pointless scenes, the horrible scenery and outfits, the abysmal acting. Roger Mosely (TC from Magnum PI) was the best character and actor in this bomb. DVD Review: Stay Away!
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this was a romance drama with Jeff Bridges and Sally Field. It was the dumbest movie I've ever seen! I couldn't figure out what they were doing. "The Governator," Arnold Schwarzenegger is a philosopher/ body builder and Mr. Olympia contestestant. I couldn't understand what he was saying. Save your money. Buy King Kong ('76) instead. DVD Review: Stay Hungry - No Sustenance Here!
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure this movie was written just to showcase 3 great stars: Jeff Bridges, Sally Field, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's a story about a guy trying to save his gym from being taken by the bad guys. Ho hum! It's a riot to see the biggest of the big (Arnold) standing next to the smallest of the small (Sally Field). She's so cute! Nothing much here except 2 great movie stars and early Arnold with packed-on muscles. DVD Review: I stay hungry
Summary: 4 Stars
Noticing Arnold was in this movie, was what drew my attention to Stay Hungry. The backstory to some of the characters I felt was kind of unnecessary. What I mean was that they could have done better. It was an entertaining movie nonetheless. I just think the title of the movie could have had a little more focus.DVD Review: Avoid!
Summary: 1 Stars
The editorial review here on Amazon said "Stay Hungry" never had much of a release. And it may be for a good reason. The movie never decides whether it's a drama or a comedy. Most of the time it's drama and occasionally it switches to farce. Unfortunately neither the drama or the comedy parts are in the least entertaining. The actors do a good job but the script is boring and pointless, except for the one scene, where Scatman Crothers yells at Jeff Bridges. Fans of Bridges, Field or Schwarzenegger may feel tempted to see this movie but my advice is stay away. It's one of the few movies I've considered not watching to the end.
Description of Stay Hungry
Jeff Bridges (Seabiscuit) is at his best (The Village Voice), Academy Award?(r) winner* Sally Field (Forrest Gump) is a revelation (New York Post) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) radiates assurance and appeal (The Wall Street Journal) in this inventive (Time) and upbeat film (Gene Siskel), for which he won a coveted 1977 Golden Globe.** Directed by Bob Rafelson (The Postman Always Rings Twice) from a screenplayby Charles Gaines and Rafelson, Stay Hungry is obviously the work of a master you'll have areal good time (CBS-TV)! When entrepreneur Craig Blake (Bridges) buys a small gym, he fully expects to demolish the place to make room for a high rise. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a world he never knew existed. From a perky gymnast (Field) who wears her heart on her leotard to a philosophizing Mr. Universe hopeful (Schwarzenegger), the freewheeling spirit of the gym touches Craig in a way he never expectedand plunges him into a hilarious off-the-wall plot to stop his high rise from ever rising! *Actress: Places in the Heart (1984); Norma Rae (1979) **Best Acting Debut in a Motion PictureQuirky is the keyword here--but quirky in a highly entertaining way. Directed by Bob Rafelson, this film stars Jeff Bridges as a not-so-good ol' boy. Wealthy and aimless, he is involved in a real estate deal with a group of high-powered partners--and his only responsibility in the whole shebang is to evict the tenants of one building that needs to be torn down and has a gym filled with body builders. Disconnected from everything in his life, he feels a bond to these outsiders, particularly the surprisingly articulate, fiddle-playing Arnold Schwarzenegger (in one of his first film roles). He also finds himself attracted to the blue-collar gym employee played by Sally Field and so becomes an impediment to his own business partners. Oddly funny and affecting, a sleeper that never had much of a release. --Marshall Fine
