Cactus Flower and Harry & Sally
Harry and Sally was good as always… actually I find it a lot more boring than the time I saw it the first time. I still think that it’s a classic though. For some reason, Harry & Sally isn’t really that funny… it’s rather the kind of witty rather than funny to make you laugh.
Cactus flower was the complete opposite: I really had to laugh out loud several times… not only because of what was said, but mostly because of what happened. And Goldie Hawn has these eyes! Oh my – I feared they’d fall out or something…
Actually I saw it yesterday, I was totally delighted and glad to have seen this movie and I had lots of stuff I wanted to write about it. But now… apparently it’s all gone. Grmbl. Will watch the movie again, most probably.
It depends on how it’s used and timed, I guess. Witty humour is fine, but slapstick and so on, i.e. the blatant stuff, makes me laugh harder usually. “What’s up, Doc?” is one of those movies which make me laugh hard because of well timed wittiness. Tons of witty lines combined with slapstick like timing, that’s what works best for me. *g*
Goldie Hawn is fun to watch, she’s always very dramatic, but alas, she’s also way past her expiration date by now and keeps fighting it with surgery. Pathetic… Oh well…
