Summary: A hoot!
Review: I was actually shocked to learn that Kathleen Turner was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, 1986. 1986 was another "slow year" I suppose. Upon repeated viewings, however, I've come to like this movie very much. Kathleen does a terrific job with what she's given. I've found myself both chuckling and near-crying while watching. And it's very interesting observing Nic Cage, Jim Carrey, Joan Allen, and--most notably--Helen Hunt before they became stars, although I've NEVER cared for the comical Jim Carrey. And it is kinda hard accepting the idea that Helen Hunt is supposed to be Kathleen's DAUGHTER.

I've found the DVD is cheap, so just buy it. Five bucks is nothing. :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Fun Film to Watch!
Review: In this time travel spin a woman (Peggy Sue) at her high school reunion has a heart attack and while lingering between life and death, is transported back in time to her high school days. Peggy Sue knowing that her boyfriend Charlie will turn out rotten after she marries him, is determined not to repeat the same mistakes of the past.

Peggy Sue tries to distance herself from Charlie and has an affair with a rebel/philospher student to try to change things. While doing this she learns about Charlie that she never knew and ends up falling in love with him all over again.

I really enjoyed this film and it shows that Peggy Sue with all her future knowledge and superior attitude is still unable to change what originally occurred.

Summary: fantastic "what if?" fable
Review: Kathleen Turner gives an enchanting performance in Francis Ford Coppola's delightful "what if?" fable PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED.

Peggy Sue (Turner) is a disillusioned woman when she attends her high school reunion. Having just divorced her high school sweetheart (Nicolas Cage), and life, it seems, can't get worse. Faced with her old self, the old "if I knew then what I know now" idea comes into play, and when she is crowned Queen of the Reunion, she suddenly collapses and awakens as her teenaged self, back in high school.

Peggy both relishes and reviles the new choices she makes in her old life. Barbara Harris (FREAKY FRIDAY, FAMILY PLOT) has an all-too-brief role as Peggy's mother, and Catherine Hicks (TV's "7th Heaven") is luminous.

The DVD includes the trailer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great idea that touches a fantasy we all share
Review: Peggy Sue got Married is a great film. It touches us all, because everyone has a memory of what their life was when they were kids that is (usually unrealistically) pleasant. We tend to toss out the bad memories and hold on to those that were good ones, or we embellish them with our fantasy of the way it should have been. It is kind of like going to heaven and being able to live our life over again the way we would have liked to in the first place. This is the feeling I got from the movie. "Browsing the past and taking with us only the best parts" (or something like that) as Peggy's grandmother said to her. It is a fantasy that would be very wonderful when we do die. Maybe God will give us a chance to live in a world that exhilirates us rather than the sometimes unpleasant one we have to live with.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peggy Sue delivers on DVD
Review: Peggy Sue Got Married is a masterpiece for director Francis Ford Coppola and stars Kathleen Turner (she got an Oscar nod as Peggy) and Nicolas Cage. Great supporting work by up-and-comers Helen Hunt, Jim Carrey, and Joan Allen. Great script and with all the great new DVD features, it's a must have to watch over and over. Where else can you see Cage and Carrey sing doo-wop and Turner laugh about her father buying an Edsel. You'll love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A surprisingly excellent movie.
Review: Peggy Sue got Married, is a great movie, as long as you take it for what it is. It's not a heavy movie, but's it well though out, smart, charming and a pleasure to watch. I loved it, and I think Kathleen Turner was rad* I would love to go throughhigh school as peggy Sue re-lived it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Kathleen Turner's Best Movies!
Review: The first time I saw "Peggey Sue Got Married"..I fellin love with it!It will probably turn out to be a Classic! Look howmany unknowns were in it and they are all Big Stars today. Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage, Helen Hunt, Jim Carrey and Joan Allen. Francis Ford Coppola is a brilliant director. He knew something about his nephew, Nicolas Cage, then, that we couldn't see.. he is truly a great actor. I taped this movie from H.B.O. and it has finally worn out.. so now I have to purchase it! HaHa!
