Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Isn't She Great is an oxymoron.
Rotten: The most notable aspect of this trashy (but unenjoyable) biopic of Jacquleine Susann, Valley of the Doll's best-selling author, is its running time (93 minutes); Bette Midler and Nathan Lane give two of their worst and broadest performances.
Rotten: The movie is a stinker, but it's not an enjoyable stinker.
Rotten: Here is a movie that needed great trash, great sex and great gossip, and at all the crucial moments Susann is talking to a tree.
Customer Reviews
Do the critics have to be right?
I really loved this movie. Annnnd if you are a Midler fan, you will probably even love it that much more. It was fun, but if you are not a Midler fan, you will be taking your chances. It wasn't as much of a waste of time as the reviews make it seem.
I love this movie!
I loved this movie when I was a child and I still love it. Screw the critics! This movie is full of laughter and Bette Middler is soooooo funny. And HELLO it's Nathan Lane! Nathan Lane is a comical genius! And he is so cute in this movie. David Hyde Pierce and Bette Middler were Hilarious together as well. Her wackiness and his uptight personality together added a lot of laughs. I would recommend at least renting this. It's a cute movie.
great movie
