Ellen Barkin

This is one of the things that made the movie so funny. She did finally get the hang of it though.

I would guess that it is hard to walk in high heels, at least at first. Walking in high heels is just walking on your toes, not tippy but, on the bottom of your toes and walking for any length. I just got to the scene of Ellen Barkin sliding down the banister  Ellen Barkin is playing a GUY who gets reincarnated as a woman and still has the mannerism of a guy, that is why the heels scenes are funny as are all the others of her acting like a guy.




Rearrange the letters in "mother in law" and you get "woman hitler"

Personally this was a wonderful performance by Ellen Barkin, who is a great actress, not seen often enough. Yes, she got recognized in Sea of Love, but I could have enjoyed SWITCH even if the dialog and scenes were only of her, and a blue screen behind her. Be sure not to watch her with Jeff Goldblum in MAD DOG TIME. She's just as gorgeous, just as funny, and just as interesting.

I miss Big Band music and talented singers. Leonard Cohen is my idol. Civility, harmony, unity!

Check out her love scene in "The Big Easy." It's the hottest love scene in the movies while fully clothed.

Agreed! I wondered how she managed to take off the way men hold glasses for instance, or how a man would struggle with high heels - oh yes, it was not the director that wnated her/him to walk in them, but this is what a woman of her position would have been wearing in the office - simple;
yes I think she is great - the movie is such fun, light and the music is just perfect! - Both sides now - love it so much got the cd!!!
why don't they play this movie any more? not violent, brutal, ugly enough??
