WORST MOVIE MOMENT BY MOMENT


Yikes, I love both John and Lily, but this has got to be one of the worst Hollywood ever released. The story is believable, but they must have not been very motivated, because they both acted as if made of cardboard. The chemistry between them was as bad as my 9th grade chem class. I think they both had the flu when filming this forgettable film.

a lot of people would place something like Plan 9 From Outer Space in the same category,but at least it had some(unintentional)humor.there is nothing redeeming about this banal nonsense,including non-existent direction,insipid dialogue,and performances that look like they came from a glue factory.horrible.

I think there is a LOT of unintentional humor here...

You can't compare a big budget movie like this, with major stars, to grade-Z schlock like Plan 9. Clearly you know little about the film industry.

Actually, the chemistry was between Lily and the director, Jane Wagner, who happened to be her lifemate. Comedienne Tomlin plays it -er- straight in this one, and she can't handle the role (I'd giver her performance One Ringy-Dingy out of four). This is also the movie that began the careening downhill of John Travolta's charisma as a leading man. 'Fever' and 'Grease' were quickly forgotten when he started making dreck like MTM (as well as 'Staying Alive' and 'Perfect'). He did recover by the end of the 80s, but for a while there he was not on the studios' 'A' list.

One Ringy Dingy - that made me laugh. I was going to rate it snorts but Ringy Dingy is better.

i'm watching the 51st academy awards and johhny carson rips it in his monologue, haha

I like it, watched it when I was a teen... The scenes are believable, I reckon.

Lily was good in it. Does a woman have to fit some kind of beauty standard to get involved with someone younger?
She was very interesting in this film. I'd date someone like her character.

I agree that this is the worst mainstream movie ever made; Isn't She Great with Bette Midler comes in a very close second. When I saw Moment in a theater when it was first released, my friends and I debated about walking out, something I've never done. We stayed, hoping it would get better. It didn't.
