Famous Hollywood director Harry Marshall inthe last years of his work he made several films-almanacs dedicated to the universally recognized and beloved in the US holidays. First there was "Valentine's Day" in 2010, then "The Old New Year" in 2011 and finally, "The Ungainly Lady" in 2016. The rating of the pictures became less and less all the time, and the responses of viewers and critics are all more piquant .
About the title
The original name of the painting is G.Marshall sounds like Mother's Day, ie "Mother's Day." The film is dedicated to the same holiday, which is celebrated in the United States on the second Sunday in May, and the title "The Unbearable Lady" is the absolute fiction of domestic distributors. However, the previous film by G. Marshall New Year's Eve (literally "New Year's Eve") also came out with an absurd title - "Old New Year".
The plot of the movie
There are no unbearable ladies in the picture.Unusual? With character? Maybe. The film "Irregular Ladies" is an almanac from several stories, which intertwine in a weird way. A single father with two daughters tries to survive the loss of his beloved wife. Next to him, a divorced mother of two boys with her problem: the ex-husband married a 20-year-old beauty, and the stepmother likes very much the stepmother. Immediately the viewer is switched to the fate of the writer and TV presenter - very successful, but childless. Many years ago she left her daughter in a shelter. Now she has already become a mother and appeared on the horizon. Well, almost a classic reception: two sisters, hiding from conservative parents, that one of them is married to a Hindu, and the second is a lesbian.
Cast
From criticism and negative reviews of the "Inexact Lady"did not even save a brilliant cast. G. Marshall was not the first time to collect the cream of Hollywood on one set. This time, in the lead roles of his favorite Julia Roberts (a lone and famous TV presenter), Kate Hudson (one of the sisters married to a Hindu), Jennifer Aniston (divorced mother of two boys) and Jason Sudeikis (widower with two daughters) .
The star of the romantic tape "Pretty Woman", which,incidentally, also removed G. Marshall, received a record for the failed in the rental movie fee. The cost of one shooting day Julia Roberts was 750 thousand dollars. In total, there were three, and the fee exceeded three million.
"Irregular ladies": critical reviews
Rating movie on the popular portal about the movie andthe series Rotten Tomatoes is only 44%. The audience and critics almost did not complain about the acting, but to the script they were strict. This is what the leading US and British publications think.
Британская газета The Guardian довольно резко и frankly called the last picture of Marshall garbage with a cheap storyline, but immediately made a reservation that the director in the past have amazing films, which the spectator is still nostalgic for now. "It is inappropriate to link together many ill-conceived stories with the help of coincidences and conspiracies. The film "Mother's Day" can be recommended to the most boring people from today's living on the planet. Each scene reveals the level of grief of the high society of Atlanta, which has huge houses and at the same time, it seems, does not have a job, "the critic noted.
A review of "The Ungentlemen Lady" provided by TheHollywood Reporter, too harsh. "What is the movie" Mother's Day "? In the first minutes of watching you hear cheerful music, see the sunny morning and friendly people. Then everything deteriorates. The film is bad from the beginning, and by the end it does not improve, "- written in the review. The critic noted the poor structure of the tape compared to the previous "festive" comedies of Marshall, in which the well-known actors abounded. The viewer did not stay with them for long. In "Mother's Day" there are not enough characters, and the storylines take up more screen time. Between the viewer and the ineptly shot film there is no buffer.
The British edition of The Telegraph in its review of"The Unruly Lady" writes that this film is the worst thing Hollywood could do with moms. "This time the director juggles with five superficially intersecting storylines, the characters are extravagant, idiotic, idiotic and conduct dialogues with an almost comatose face," the publication noted.
It is very sad that the film, which won the mostnegative reviews, became the master of romantic comedies G. Marshall last. Less than three months after the world premiere, held on April 26, 2016, in the eighty-first year of life, the director died.
