Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

dougdoepke Passed over by men, a dowdy girl in 60's London manages a fairy tale ending with little help from her friends. Looks like this 50-year old ditzy flick has lost its cutting edge, and in the process, now looks plain silly. A frumpy lead, swinging London, and loosening morals may have set a chic tone then, but not now. Now there's nothing to smooth over the annoying Jos, the witchy Meredith, or the implausible James. Georgy's plain-girl plight is sympathetic and trans-generational, but not enough to compensate. Instead, the overdone antics are just too many. Note too, rather surprisingly, that it's ultimately the British establishment that's affirmed and not the swingers. It's businessman James's & his care of the baby that projects the future.Anyway, there are scattered good moments as when Georgy's natural innocence cavorts freely with the kids. Also, given the temptations, expert actress Redgrave refuses to milk her sympathetic part. But overall, the movie resembles a spicy cookie that's since crumbled into too many unsavory bits. But at least the delightful title tune survives.

NutzieFagin If you need a quick synopsis of the plot line for Goergy Girl, listen to the lyrics of the intro song Goergy Girl at the beginning of the movie.Sweet Georgina, a lonely British girl in the 60's dreams of what usually some unattractive, overweight girls wish for. A knight with shining armor to sweep her off her feet, marry her and live happily ever after in a castle with an adoring husband and especially lots of children.Well... as you may know, life does not turn out like we wish. Georgina or better known as "Georgy" does have an admirer. He is her parents employer, James Learnington, played by the stately James Mason, a wealthy, soon to be widowed, slightly lecherous millionaire who is captivated by Georgy's youth, wit and charm. Because of his fondness for Georgy he seems to treat her parents (his servants) almos6 like family and allows Georgy to teach a kindergarten/dance class in his home. But Georgy still craves to be like her room mate, vain, conceited Meredith who is is popular with all men and the IN crowd. Meredith's boyfriend, Joes, a clownish, childlike man, follows Meredith around like a love starved puppy and overlooks her catty abusive behavior. Suddenly, Meredith announces "she's bored" ...and pregnant and this two, who really make the image for bad parents decide to get married. Georgy, a true blue friend and the usual third wheel, supports their decision and provides gifts for the baby from her senior admirer.But as expected, selfish Meredith and irresponsible Joes are not the picture of good parents. Now Georgy makes a decision...what to wish for or what can she go after and get because she has fallen in love with their baby and she wants to adopt her.Georgy Girl is a modern tale of a girl who breezes thru life with a sort of low self esteem. But she has a happy ending because like the Wizard of OZ, she realizes she has what she wants in her own backyard and she has the ability to get it. The acting is very good and this movie launched the career for Lynn Redgrave. Also, with a good Supporting cast, a well written screen play, and like the pop song, Georgy Girl by The Seekers, it is a fresh and bouncy British film.

treeline1 22-year old Georgina (Lynn Redgrave) is perky and funny and undeniably frumpy. She wishes she were more like her pretty (but self-centered) roommate (Charlotte Rampling) who's always being invited to parties and has a handsome boyfriend (Alan Bates). The only man who seems to want Georgy is her father's boss (James Mason), a rich and married older man who has ogled her for years.This is a sweet comedy/romance that lacks a real Prince Charming but does have a strong woman with a huge capacity to love. Georgy ends up with someone to devote her life to, though whether it is a happy ending is left to the viewer. The spirited theme song by the Seekers was a big hit when the movie came out in 1966; it reflects the happy-go-lucky mod attitude that had taken over the world. Redgrave is endearing as Georgy, Rampling is suitably shrewish, Bates is a very cute cad, and Mason makes for an off-putting but convenient lecher.The movie is engaging, funny, and touching and a good reflection of mid-sixties London.

Julya O I've always known about Georgy Girl the song by the Seekers but never the movie until recently. Based on a book by Margaret Forster the movie stars a very young Lynn Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling, Alan Bates and James Mason. With a pretty catchy tune the movie is a fine example of good acting, simple story telling and a well written script.Georgy is a big girl in search of love and she finds it in the most unlikeliest of places. This movie also reminds of Angie with Geena Davis and Where The Heart is with Natalie Portman.I've never seen the zany side of Lynn Redgrave before and I thought she was really funny. At times the movie seems real and at times it seems like a fairy tale but it's entertaining nevertheless.This is how I remember the English movies those days when the language is spoken with precise intonation and distinction that one can actually hear every single word that is said.It's a lovely story about life and how we depict it and make it and call it our reality, our hell or our paradise. And the song is so singable you will never have a chance to forget it even if you wanted to.
