mvie mu-1015526: On Golden Pond - Hepburn and Fonda Are the Ultimate Golden Oldies

Sat, 6 Mar 2004 23:31:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author millinocket - When I was a kid, my parents had a cabin on a lake in the north woods of Wisconsin. I had a love/hate relationship with that cabin. I hated the idea of going there, leaving my friends, being stuck with my family (horror of horrors). In other...

Thu, 30 May 2002 00:55:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tbrown - Two film giants, Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn, star as Norman Thayer, Jr. and his wife Ethel in this magnificent film. As the story opens, Norman establishes himself as a cantankerous, cynical old man. Norman is soon to celebrate his eightieth...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author susidee34 -

To gather together this small but accomplished cast of characters, 7 all told, and create this heartfelt drama is something that director Mark Rydell should be proud to admit.

The movie centers around three main characters, Norman &...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwyckoff1 - Are you looking for a fabulous movie to while away the moments as the falling leaves of Autumn drift in the cool breezes of the evening? I have a wonderful old classic that is still as fresh as the day it was made and a message attached that will...

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 17:37:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kknox0616 - There are some movies that live in your memory forever. THE COLOR PURPLE comes to mind instantly for me as one of those movies. THE WIZARD OF OZ is perhaps another for many, including myself. These are movies that define a period in one's life, that...

mvie mu-1015526: On Golden Pond: The Legacy of Doug McKeon

Wed, 14 Feb 2001 01:42:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mgreber - It was 1980 -- I was twelve years old, living in Los Angeles. Although I lived outside of Westwood, I went to school in Santa Monica -- a desperate attempt by my parents to get me out of the then atrocious public school system. I was fortunate enough...

mvie mu-1015526: Touching, moving, sad, happy!

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 17:24:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MzRizz - This is a sweet love story with emotions, conflict, pain, resolution, and friendship. When I knew this was first a play, then I knew it would have wonderful dialogue, because plays rely on heavily on dialogue.

The relationship I would like...

mvie mu-1015526: No sex, violence or action. GREAT!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CurtisPhillips -

How about if I told you we were going to see a movie with no sex, violence, action, suspense or special effects?

You'd probably say forget it.

If so…you just missed the chance to see the 1981 Oscar nominee winner for best picture...

mvie mu-1015526: Makes you want to "suck-face" with your beloved

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 22:29:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I know Norman Thayer Jr.. In fact, he's a friend of mine who I get to know better with each passing year. How do I know him? I know him because he (or a major portion of him) lives inside me and grows year by year.

Norman takes some...

mvie mu-1015526: On Golden Pond Forever

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 14:51:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author swh2000 - I've started this review a dozen times, and each time, I end up deleting my attempts at an opening statement. I think the problem is that the film "On Golden Pond" can mean so many things to so many people. For some, it is the acceptance of...

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 21:44:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JuliaGaz - I first saw this movie in the theater with my mother in 1981. I was eleven years old and was completely engrossed the entire time. Now, 20 years later, I've watched this movie at least 10 times or more. My fiancee and I know the words by heart so he...

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 11:21:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ronboy - Mark Rydell captured the hearts and minds of us all after this directorial gem was discovered. Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn literally picked this film up, hoisting it up and onto their shoulders. While this was arguably one of Jane's best roles,...

mvie mu-1015526: A True Love Story

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 18:46:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author millymac - "On Golden Pond" is a very special movie about a marriage and a love that have stood the test of time. Most of the films that have been made in the last 25 years about love and marriage seem to end up with the couple getting a divorce or...

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 23:42:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mgscmwa - "On Golden Pond" is an absolute gem! This, sort of, swam song for Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn was pure gold!

This was a sweet sentimental tale of the aging Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn spending time at their retreat on...

mvie mu-1015526: Excellent - understated

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 20:46:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kidnykid - The movie rights to ON GOLDEN POND were originally bought by Jane Fonda so that she and her father might get one chance, at least, to act together. Jane plays a woman who has recently initiated a new relationship with a dentist played by Dabney Coleman...

mvie mu-1015526: Pure Gold!

Sat, 13 Nov 1999 23:48:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author anrual - This was a wonderful movie. I've seen it numerous times & always end up sobbing. It's a unique love story just by the fact that these 2 people are still together after all these years. Henry Fonda is certainly cantankerous, but on rare occasions...
