Dolores Claiborne deserves more recognition.
Amen!
Absolutely 💯
Great movie, Bad title. Shawshank bombed too when it came out. Bad P.R.
One of my favorite quotes is when Vera Donovan is talking about how being a b**** is the only thing a woman has!
Seriously- it's just so hard for me to pick a favorite of her lines though haha
The book was phenomenal and emotional and Cathy deserves all the awards ever given her. She's a beast of an actor
Such an underrated gem of a film, loved your reaction.
Completely agree about the underrated gem, and THANK YOU!!! I am not sure why it wasn't/isn't more popular, but that's ok. We get to all be in the exclusive club of those who know and love it, right?
No, Kathy Bates never won an Oscar for Dolores Claiborne, but she did won an Oscar for Misery. However, Kathy Bates said, Dolores Claiborne is her favorite role❤
I ADORE her
Her spectacular role in Misery is why she was cast in this ❤
One of the most underrated movies ever. Glad you guys reacted to it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Completely agree with you! Thank you so much for watching the video :)
The book is a conversation that Dolores is having with the detectives, all in her voice with the accent. It has a tie-in moment with “Gerald’s Game” which came out at the same time. The main character in that book had a traumatic experience during the same eclipse and they were mystically connected somehow. Mike Flanagan, who also did “Midnight Mass” and “The Haunting of Hill House” among other things, actually adapted “Gerald’s Game” for Netflix too and it’s fantastic. I never thought it could be done, certainly not as well as he did it.
This takes place on the fictional Little Tall Island where Stephen King’s miniseries “Storm of the Century” is set and Dolores gets a little mention in that one too. I highly recommend both the ones I mentioned here.
One of my favorite movies and it gets very little love so thank you for doing this!! I read Gerald's Game years ago and, if my memory is correct, the 2 books have a crossover point during the eclipse. I know it isn't talked about in either film but it is in the books. Much love 💜💜💜
Oh really??? That's cool! I love things like that. Thank you for telling us.
@DavidvsFilm Since you enjoued this one so much, you should definitely check out Gerald's Game. They absolutely are parallel stories. King initially wrote Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game as one novel, but decided to split them. Gerald's Game was considered completely unfilmable for years, but Mike Flannigan did a showstopping job with is 2017 adaptation.
@@mclizzard2928 Thank you so much for championing Gerald’s Game! My love for King is already set, and I’ve become a very big fan of Mike Flanagan, so I can only imagine it’s great.
Our neighbor brought over cookies to our cabin and this dvd. I didn’t realize what kind of cookies they were and as the movie progressed, IT BECAME SO INTENSE. I was too tense to move for a few hours afterward.
Well first HELLO MY FRIEND!! I'm so glad to see you pop up! I hope you're doing great.
And oh Lord on those cookies and then tension haha. That sounds like a quite a time.
"Put the Mainstays out like I like them". I snorted a bit too loud 😂😂
That comment alone deserves 1,000 more subs 🤣
Haha thank you!! Elegance on a budget with Marc Vera Donovan over here 😁
I love you guys and I love this movie. Saw it in the theater in 1995 when I was a little closeted teenager. My friends didn't quite get why I wanted to see this drama film about a bunch of women, but they went with me and really liked it too. Years later when I became a mental health professional, I told a client about it and she told me that watching the film was a very difficult experience for her, but that it gave her the push to start working on her own buried trauma. I will forever love this film. And I agree, more people should know about this film and it should be more appreciated. Judy Parfitt as Vera was soooo great! I love her character, both when she is young and old
Thank you for including my sister’s scene🥰. The town shots are from Digby and coastal shots are from Nova Scotia.
Of course!! Which one was she? Sidewalk with bag? Or walking with kid? I knew it was one or the other lol
@@DavidvsFilm Sidewalk with bag. We giggled so loud when we were in the theater and everyone turned and shhhhh us
Alcoholism, domestic violence, incest...I feel like I'm watching a Tennessee Williams play or attending a session of Congress! Happy Valentine's Day fellas.😘
Haha for real!! As they say, "This movie has it all.." Happy Valentine's to you guys too ♥️
Or a Tuesday in Alabama/ north Florida?
Judy Parfitt is also great as Vera Donovan.
Oh you’re 100% right! She’s actually my guilty pleasure favorite. I have a terrible habit of naming and acknowledging every actor except my favorite ones 😉
No other author can create characters the way Steven used to do.
Right?? So great.
Ryan Murphy? ❤❤❤❤
@@heatherspence3848Nah, he's too obsessed with sexuality.
You guys are right. This is a severely underrated movie. And in the years of watching movie reactions, this may be the third reaction to this movie I’ve seen. Which is not enough. On a sidenote, I lived in Maine for 18 years. And I saw this movie when it first came out on VHS at blockbuster. The atmosphere and attitudes in this movie were very accurate to mean. I wish I had some interesting trivia for you about this movie, but I honestly don’t think I have anything. I think you should give Marc the choice of movies on Valentine’s Day and for his birthday! Much love, everybody! 🫶🏻💙💙💙
This is such a great movie!! I wish it got more recognition!! Stephen King wrote this movie for Kathy Bates because he loved her in Mysery!
Christopher Plummer was so hot in The Sound of Music…I’ve also loved seeing Kathy Bates in some of the American Horror Story episodes, we don’t see her enough nowadays.❤
American Horror story is great.
Obviously, some seasons reasonate more than others. But thats how individual taste goes.
She always knocks it out of the park.
@@theConquerersMama Agreed, it’s gone downhill a lot (casting Kim Kartrashian? 😬) It’s Kathy and Jessica I was really there for
@bluegypsy71 they are the best.
My profile pic has been Jessica from Coven for years.
Not to take away from all the other actors who really deliver(sweet baby Jane, give Sarah Paulson an Emmy before Ryan Murphy gives her lung cancer!) But we all have our favs.
@@bluegypsy71 Kim 🙄
Did someone lose a bet?
We can see her thanks to Ryan Murphy ❤❤love
Jennifer Jason Leigh has another good movie called Rush 1991. If you have never seen it you should check it out. Jason Patrick and Sam Elliott are also in it. One of The Allman Brothers is also in it
Yes!! I forgot about that movie. I don't think I ever saw it, but I remembered her and Jason Patrick in it. I know I've seen her in other things too, I just always think of this movie, Backdraft, and Single White Female.
Single White Female is another good one with her.
19:42 "Uhh, He beats me with logs?"
" Lil Bactine on that" 🤣🤣 love y'alls comments
Hey thanks! So glad you’re enjoying it. :) This was an insanely great movie that we had so much fun with.
Favorite Stephen King movie love Kathy Bates amazing as Dolores Claiborne. you should definitely see A home of their own and the A war at home. I think you guys would love this movies. You two are great ❤❤
Completely agree- such a great movie and such great performances. And thank you so much for the recommendations!! I don't know think I know these.
I seriously forgot how good this film was! Thank you for bringing it back into my life ❤
Hey hey my friend!! Absolutely! Thank you 🫶
Christopher Plummer is one of my favorite actors of all time! A few recommendations: You definitely need to watch the 1978 Canadian heist movie ''The Silent Partner'' (also with Elliot Gould and Susannah York) in which he's incredible (you can't believe your eyes lol) and very creepy. John Huston's ''The Man Who Would Be King'' (1975), with Sean Connery and Michael Caine, one of the greatest adventure movies ever made, and ''Murder By Decree'' (1979) by Bob Clark (director of classics as ''Deathdream'', ''Black Christmas'', ''Porky's'', ''A Christmas Story'' and (LOL) ''Rhinestone'' with Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton), with Plummer as Sherlock Holmes (who meets Jack The Ripper), and with an amazing cast, including another favorite of mine (when it comes to the older generation of actors) James Mason as Dr. Watson.
Oh wow thank you Peter!! I'll look it up. You were around when I first started this channel, and I remember thinking, "I don't know if I'll have enough movies to watch here. I've seen quite a few.." Barely the tip of the cinematic iceberg lol.
@@DavidvsFilm btw David, I loved Kathy Bates in Alexander Payne's ''About Schmidt'' with the great Jack Nicholson (in one of his best performances), and if you wanna see as a very young actress, watch ''Straight Time'' (1978) with Dustin Hoffman in one of my favorite movies of the 1970s. Like you've mentioned, I was also not a big ''fan'' of Jennifer Jason Leigh, but she's fantastic in Joel & Ethan Coen's ''The Hudsucker Proxy'' (a movie y'all could watch during Christmas time), and in ''Miami Blues'' (1990), and of course in ''The Hitcher'' (1986) with the great legendary actor from The Netherlands, Rutger Hauer (R.I.P.).
Maybe next Valentine's go old school and do someting like The Philadelphia Story? This was a great reaction though. Happy Valentine's! 🌹💖
Hey thank you!! Happy Valentine's! That's a classic that I've wanted to see for a while, actually :)
Single white females is one of my favorite movies!
Oooooh yes! That stiletto eye exam tho.......
Yes, indeed it can.
😁😁😘😏😏
Great flick, and probably my favorite Kathy Bates performance.
So just to preface this reply.. I am on cold medication and was checking the comments for the Hacksaw Ridge reaction I just posted, and I read your comment. I immediately thought, "WTF!! how did I miss Kathy Bates??" Yeah. Ok properly switching gears to DC now- yeah she is AMAZING, but I really thought she was next level in this. I could watch this movie every month and never get bored with it.
It's a pity more people haven't seen this movie and it never got more accolades. Great acting, Great writing. Great directing.
THIS FILM TAKES PLACE WAY EARLIER THAN PRESENT.
@David vs. Film Fun fact: I'm actually in this movie! Okay, only "in" the movie in a Schrodinger's Cat kind of way, but I was production assistant for a day in a newspaper truck in an early transition shot to NYC. I held a walkie talkie on in the passenger's seat on the coldest fucking NYC morning EVER. So it counts to me 🤷♂
The actor who played the young daughter was Ellen Muth, most well known for starring as Georgia Lass in the short lived TV show, Dead Like Me (along side Mandy Patinkin)
I didn’t even recognize her! Such a different character. That was a great show.
Loved this movie as well. Your comments and reaction were so good! That scene where Jennifer Jason Leigh sees the back of her head in the mirror was crazy! Please consider Dog Fight starring River Phoenix and Lili Taylor. It's so good; a hidden gem that deserves attention! Brendan Fraser makes his screen debut as well in this film. Kind regards from Toronto, Canada!! 😊😊
Sweetie, why didn’t you just watch “War of the Roses” for Valentines?! It has Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas! They were the next Hepburn and Tracy! ❤❤❤
Actually, I don't know if Marc's seen it, but I have and I love it! So good!! BUT, I have NOT seen some of their others like Romancing the Stone or Jewel of the Nile, so those are fair game :)
@@DavidvsFilm Romancing the Stone is a lot of fun. You’ll love it!
For WotR, I used to be a gymnast and I told my ex husband when we saw it to remember that if he decided to leave me. I held up my part of the bargain. He’s still single.
Such a great fcking movie! And I agree with you, I think her acting in this a better than Misery. Both AMAZING but I prefer this character more. Great reaction guys! 💯👏❤️
What up lady?? Yeah, exactly. She's just so. good. But then she can pivot and play Adam Sandler's mom in Waterboy. I love her.
@DavidvsFilm Omg, I luv her in that as well... 🤣🤣 She's also good in all the AHS seasons she was in as well...
@@lizmagu3189 oh absolutely
Kathy Bates said many times that Dolores was the performance she was “most proud of”
As well she should :) I love me some Annie Wilkes (just watched another reactor's Misery reaction recently and re-remembered her amazing work in that), but the Dolores Claiborne character is so layered and transformative. And her performance is just amazing.
So sad I didn't get a notification about this reaction. I love that Marc picked this for Valentine's Day 😊
Hey it’s never too late!! But yeah, you know ol UA-cam and their notifications. Glad you watched now! Happy belated Valentine’s Day! :)
I think about this movie every time I go to Maine.
I didn't realize you'd ever seen this! What about Misery? Did you watch Misery?
This is one of the most underrated movies. Kathy is phenomenal in this role. There are slight connections to Misery in the film such as the Pig in a Pillow (Misery the sow). This was described as a horror but I found it to be a very disturbing analysis of an abused woman.
'supp, David and Marc!
Yep, this is an odd pick for Valentines Day, but I understand the appreciation for Kathy Bates.
Personally, I loved and hated this movie at the same time. The whole cast and acting is perfection, but the S-abuse hits too close to home. Like one in four women, I am one of those who experienced abuse of this nature (from a trusted family member). That said, it is a good movie for depicting the realism and bringing the issue to light. The actor playing the husband is so good at his craft and stole my heart, as Johnny, in Lost in Yonkers (with Mercedes Reuhl).
I'm so sorry to hear that you experienced this, my friend ♥️ I never saw Lost in Yonkers, but I appreciate the recommendation. I love Mercedes Reuhl, btw!
I also say dinner - but I really want to adopt the UK “Tea.” What’s are we having for Tea? Fish fingers and custard. ❤ IFKYK.
Haha right?? Let's class it up with some tea and cucumber sandwiches.
This is one of my favourite books and movie adaptations
Loved loved it!
Such a good movie!
I love this movie! Taylor Hackford is great at his craft and the actors as well. I hope Stephen King was happy with this adaptation.
Haven't watched this in decades...thanks amigos.
And I loved Midnight Mass....so good, creepy, scary yet gripping!
A Martha recipe, been hangin' with Snoop...I too enjoy Gin & Juice...or a classic GnT😉
Happy early Vday💗...hope yours is filled with love and light! Thank you both!!!
Also, David thank you for your efforts, your communication/involvement with your community here AND the heart you bring to your channel. A big, heart felt thank you from me to you.💜💚
Aww thank you so much my Bestie out Westie! Happy Valentine's Day to you two, btw- loved your Insta post btw ♥️
I loooved Midnight Mass. Haunting of Hill House is still my favorite of his series, but that one is a close second for me.
@@DavidvsFilm Ahhhh...an extra thank you. We do make a cute couple...I'm bias of course. I haven't watched that show yet but when I do I will make sure I watch your reactions.
King wrote an even more dramatic story that was made into a movie The Spitfire Grill with perhaps the saddest yet happiest Ending???
Ohhhhh
Stephen King wrote the novel Dolores Claiborne as a direct result of her performance in Misery. He wrote the novel with the full intention of casting her in the movie adaptation.
The young Selena starred in the television show, "Dead Like Me". Excellent series.
“Moist” lol. I still think about that scene when I see refrigerator magnets.
I love this movie and book. I used Vera qoutes but mix it up changing a few words at the family reunion because my cousin knows I have a mouth on me. They they hated one of my uncle girl friend. "Think what fun you'll have telling all your friends what a bitch Vera Donovan is." I change it to "Think what fun you'll have telling all your family with a ass Luis Maldonado is." my mom just shook her head because she knows how I am. Pluse my uncle girlfriend was being nasty to the family. When when mom the head of the family. I love Vera and Dolores such a amazing film. I love Dolores house I love to do a remodel on it.
Hahaha that’s awesome!! lol. And that sounds like you, yes 😁
Thank you for reacting to this terribly underrated film. I too believe that Kathy Bates performance in this is even better than in “Misery”. All three women should have been nominated for Oscars, and Kathy should’ve won Best Actress along with Judy Parfift (Vera Donovan) as Best Supporting Actress. They were all robbed.
I love this movie and am so glad you guys watched it on the channel. Definitely an underrated movie. Stephen King wrote "Dolores Claiborne" in response to people criticizing him for not being able to write women well. I can't remember if this was his first book he wrote in response to this, but it was at least in a grouping of novels that featured women as main characters.
A big hey hi hello to you can't wait for your reaction to this one ❤ you David and Marc 💐
Till the cows come home, I will argue this was the seminal performance of Kathy Bates' career. To date. And you're absolutely right. Ellen Muth (young Selena) doesn't get enough credit for the quality of her performance.
One of the best SK adaptations. Though, there are some obvious differences. I heard that Stephen liked Kathy's performances in Misery so much that he wrote this novel with her in mind to play Dolores in the film. Dunno how true this is but sure is a fantastic jestures if it is true. Kathy, Judy, Jennifer, and Ellen all were superbly cast and really made this film so powerful.
If you read the books Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game there's an interesting little scene that ties the stories together during the eclipse.
Underrated movie for such a masterpiece. And to me the best actor/tress in this move is JJL. When she said "Bad patch, I had a F-ing mental breakdown". Gosh the way she said that was so powerful.
Yes!! So I can't say that she's the best in this for me, but I completely respect your thinking on it. I wholeheartedly agree about her great delivery of that line- you FEEL it- and even though I've enjoyed her in other films, this was my favorite performance of hers. Though I have heard that she's really good in Rush.
You guys are so funny! This is such a serious movie, and I was laughing throughout because of your reaction. 😅😂👍
Sadly enough, this movie was not nominated for any Golden Globes, BAFTA's, or Oscars. There are strong cases to be made for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress, but Kathy Bates being ignored for Best Actress is still considered one of the worst Oscar snubs of the last 50 years.
She'd get the Oscars if she was at least 40 years younger and about 100lbs thinner. Yeah it's all about young and thin, acting talent means nothing if you have a look Hollyweird can exploit you for.
Christopher Plummer was also the dad/Captain Von trap in the original sound of music movie
Haha thank you!!!!
So happy to see more reactions to this film. It's a severely underrated Stephen King film. Kathy is just as good, if not better, than Annie from Misery. Phenomenal film
Something about Stephen King he didnt start out wanting to write horror. He wanted to write sci fi originally.
I’d read the book before I saw this movie. Well, I’m just going to say it was an incredible book and this was a good movie. The thing with Stephen King is his books are often so much better because his books focus on the inner dialogues of the characters. In film, we miss so much of this.
28:32 Remember. Eclipse at 5! Liked and subscribed. Well...back to Grindr.
Lol!! Thank you ♥️ Happy Eclipse Day! And remember.. sometimes, being a high-riding Grindr bitch is all a person has to hold on to. ;)
It's unfortunate this movie was virtually ignored by the awards circuit.... Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh were both nominated for a Saturn award. I think Kathy Bates had a couple of other small critics nominations. And the girl who played young Selena actually won supporting actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival... otherwise it got nothing else. It deserved so much more.
Well nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like Dolores Claiborne. 😂 I don’t think I’ve seen this movie since it came out. I forgot how good it is. It was fun to hear those classic one liners again. “An accident is an unhappy woman’s best friend.” Ugh…so good!
You’re right though, this movie doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I guess it goes to “Misery”, Kathy Bates’s Oscar winning performance. But she’s terrific in this too. Along with the rest of the cast. The woman who plays her boss has been in many things but I remember her as the prince’s mother from “Ever After’.
I remember REALLY disliking the daughter in this. She seemed f*cked up and ungrateful. But I’m older now and I can appreciate that she was traumatized, confused and didn’t understand what was going on…or what her mother sacrificed to protect her.
Anyway…terrific commentary. I love how much fun you always have with these and this one seemed particularly enjoyable for you both. Great choice!
Y’all most definitely if you haven’t need to watch Gerald’s Game. It’s a companion story to Dolores Claiborne. Also by Stephen King.
The scene on the ferry was necessary, for the audience to understand, that Dolores had an actual reason to do what she did _(even if she herself couldn't be 100% sure)._
If I remember the movie correct _(it's been a few years since I last saw it),_ up to that scene, it was all just a suspicion. For both: Dolores and the audience.
Sure, the audience might probably have approved what happened to him, simply because of what he did to Dolores...but after that scene on the ferry...all doubt and ambiguity was gone.
I love this movie
So good!
SUCH A GREAT PICK!!! .... But a Valentine's pick...???? Watch your back.
Haha for real! Chocolates and holy water, just to cover all my bases.
Happy Movie Tuesday, David & Marc! 😊
Great reaction you two!
This is such a great film! Kathy Bates is fantastic in this movie. I have yet to read the book though.
If neither of you have seen it yet, I very highly recommend the 1990 Kathy Bates movie "Misery".
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
Randee!! Hope you're well. Is this the first Happy Movie Tuesday? I think it may be! lol.
You know what- we have both seen Misery, but I suuure wish we hadn't. I would have loved to have done that one as a first time watch. Maybe we can watch it as a commentary one day ;)
Stephen King writes great stories that are not supernatural and this one is so well done with the always excellent Kathy Bates, and also another of my highest regarded actors, David Strathairn. He is in one of my favorite movies, L.A. Confidential (1997).
Judy Parfitt costars in the best British TV-miniseries dramatization of Pride and Prejudice (1980), with the also perfectly cast Elizabeth Garvie, David Rintoul, and Sabina Franklin.
OLDER ACTRESS IS ALSO GREAT IN "THE GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING" EXCELLENT👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
He wrote this part specifically for Kathy Bates❤❤❤
And she NAILED IT :)
Tbh I love this movie more than Misery but Kathy Bates was amazing in both ❤
One of my favorite books and movies. Stephen King wrote this with Kathy Bates in mind.
So good!! And hey- it’s officially Eclipse Day now, Vera! Haha
Starting a GoFundMe so David can have a matching Stanley Cup for his "peach tea."
S'up!! Happy Valentines day fellas 😍
❤❤❤🎉🎉
My man! Happy V Day to you too!!! I hope that, like me, you find love both on Feb. 14 for the actual day and Feb. 15th when the candy is half price. 😁
@@DavidvsFilm 🤣🤣🤣
Greatest insult in Film - 'Grand Pubah Butt Crack'
Such a fantastic book and movie! It was years and years after I saw this movie before I could watch anything that David Straithern was in because he was so evil in this movie!
Great Book👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very underrated movie .... one of my favorite ones of Stephen king....
Along with the langoliers... cujo .... needful things.... night flyer .... christine .... Dream Catcher.... ahhhh heck ... all of them lol
Haha right?? All of them! My goal is to watch them all, at least the big ones. I REALLY want to watch Needful Things for the channel. It’s long been on my list, and I hope that there’s an audience for it here. :)
Thank you so much!
❤
You should check Kathy in these 2 movies... Used People and A Home of Our Own.
I totally forgot about Used People, and I don’t know about A Home of Our Own, so thank you!!
16:06 “I want my China Pig,” Vera says. Knowing now that Steven King wrote this specifically for Kathy Bates, do you remember in the movie misery, he bashed Kathy in the head with an iron pig statue? I didn’t know Stephen King did Easter eggs giggle. Giggle
Yep!! Hehehe. Now I’ll tell ya, Misery is a movie that I wish we had not already seen. I would love to watch that for the channel.
@@DavidvsFilm I appreciate you keeping it honest!
I Heard About This Movie!😅
Have you not seen it before? If not, go watch the movie then come back. It's so good!! You have good taste- you'll like it.
As someone mentioned earlier you should watch Rush. It is a really good movie.
Thank you!! Yeah, I jotted it down as a must-see. :)
Mincemeat pie😂
Love the movie but the book was incredible.
I also thought, "Liz Claiborne" and that this was not going to be a good watch. I never gave it any chance. Then, I came upon it when I wanted to watch some Stephen King movies I've never watched. It was exactly how you reacted to it. I was so upset with myself that I couldn't gush about this movie with people who hadn't watched it yet either. As someone who has always said "I am a movie lover," I sure don't watch enough and still have the "it might not be worth it" mindset. I need to get rid of that because there are so many movies that deserve their time in the spotlight. Great reaction.
Thank you so much!! And YES! I think the same thing sometimes. You’re so right.
I have read the book and it's waaaaay better. It also connects with another story by Stephen King called Storm of the Century, which was made into I think a 3 part TV mini-series. Anyway, I would like to recommend one of my FAVORITE classic movie called Mildred Pierce with Joan Crawford. Now, that's one hell of a movie!!!
Dude, just wait! Stephen King has a series of books called The Dark Tower that encompasses all his other work. Amazon had the rights to it and gave it to Mike Flanagan!! So soon we should be seeing a Mike Flanagan take on the King universe!
Wasn't this such a great movie? It's one of my favorites. God 1995? I don't remember it being that long ago. Have you guys seen "The Grand Budapest hotel"? Please please please watch and review that one next! Or how about "Running with scissors"? That's a great one too.
Right??? I thought the same thing about the 1995 part! We haven't seen either the Grand Budapest or Running with Scissors, so thanks for the recommendations ;)
Please watch Neflix's Gerald's Game next!
Everyone needs to take off April 8th if you are in the line with America's next solar eclipse. My family is having a party and I took the 8th and 9th off just in case I have a good time.. the daughter was played by Ellen Muth who played Georgia Lass in one of my favorite television shows of all time Dead Lke Me
Fun!! I hope you guys have a great time 😁 I remember that show! I didn’t even connect that was her! It’s been years but I still remember laughing at the refrigerator magnets: “Moist”
Glad you enjoyed this movie, it's one of my favorites. The actress who played Vera Donovan was Judy Parfitt. The whole cast was great. Kathy Bates had said that this is her favorite role of all. The movie was filmed in Lunenburg and Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia.
Odd movie to crack up and joke all the way thru but humor is subjective lol. Glad you guys enjoyed it
We can find humor in anything! :) Thanks- we LOVED it!
I thought Kathy Bates was better in this than Misery. It is a horrible that Judy Parfitt was not nominated for he role as Vera. I saw this and became a fan of hers from that point on.
Amen and alleluia to that! For all the blah performances I’ve seen be nominated (and a few over the years that have even WON), I completely agree with you. She was amazing
The story goes back to earlier time with her abusive husband.😵😵
Daughter is played by two actresses🤓🤓🤓
The cost of living was far less!!!😠😠
THE OLD LADY WANTED TO DIE...SHE THREW HERSELF DOWN STAIRS. THEN ASKED DOLORES TO "FINISH IT" DOLORES WASN'T HER KILLER!!👎
