Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Elewis1195 It's funny reading these reviews. I came here after I Love Lucy was praised in the new TV-book that came out and it was a ground breaking show in many ways. It was colorful, it was vulgar (for TV at the time), and it was comedy, so the vulgar was OK.I grew up in the 70s, this show aired in the 50s but it was still running in reruns when I used to watch TV as a kid. I saw a fair bit of it and I was never impressed. The physical humor didn't do it for me. (Lucy had talent but she was no Charlie Chaplin or Groucho Marks in the comedy scale). I found the show, while growing up, Tedius and Boring. As an adult, I can respect it more for what it meant to history but growing up it was among my least favorite shows. I realize now that much of the humor was geared towards adult/married audiences who might enjoy the marriage troubles so it was never really a kids show, the way much of television was.I also don't think it's timeless, I think it's dated. It's history, but it's not timeless. A lot of the humor seems flat by today's standards. I respect the show. I think it changed television but I never particularly enjoyed it. 10 stars out of 10 for it's effect on TV, 5 stars for it's watchability (and perhaps it deserves a bit less). People are welcome to feel different, and reading the reviews, many do, but that's my take.

Armand for nostalgics and idealists. for discover the roots of TV series and the comfortable manner to create entertainment. for each of that , it is the perfect choice. because, after decades, it remains sweet and clever and provocative and the expression of clever humor. because reminds a world who can be silly in some measure but it remains a not bad refuge or lesson for the our period. because Lucy and Rick are more than a splendid couple. and because the series preserves the flavor of fairy tale. it is difficult to define it . because it is , with each episode, before and today, a surprise. not for the plot, not for situations who defines the characters but for a form of innocence who seduce.

pkeo03 I Love Lucy was a comedic icon but the series main star Lucy was to me shown as self centered and selfish despite some strong comedic overtones.Lucy in the series not in real life was not at all an independent woman. There were 2 episodes which showed she would never make it as an independent woman. She went to work in a candy factory and it was shown as a total disaster. The guys both Fred and Ricky proved that the two would never survive as independent living men. However with the fact the two both did have revenue (Fred a landlord as it is never really stated if the building was fully in Fred's name or if it was shared), Ricky was a band leader, and despite his failure at doing housework he could have obtained a housekeeper. In comparison: The Honeymooners: Alice was not aconniver. She was independent 2 episodes she proved it by going out andobtaining independent employment. One episode showed she could work asa secretary, another episode she obtained employment in a neighborhood bakery! One episode the 2 needed a phone so badly, and Alice contracted one without Ralphs approval. She knew the added expense would be hard on their budget and she decided to go and make extra money by babysitting to pay for the telephone service. this added comic appeal as she hid it from Ralph who thought she was dating a married man. In the end the truth comes out, and Alice apologizes telling him she did this to make extra money to relieve him of that burden! Lucy never would was always conniving in some way. When she did babysit one time it again was a minor disaster! Why she didn't want to sit for .50 an hour unlike Alice who did! Another episode Alice was even sited out as a possible actress as a schoolteacher in some TV series or movie. Ralph was ready to give her the okay to do it, but she negated it (unlike Lucy would if given that opportunity!) However despite the flaw here, one thing that stands outis the comedic appeal of each episode that kept us all laughing. I do remember one episode when Lucy and Ricky were discussing wills. Ricky was explaining that they had to be prepared for anything, as it is inevitable it will one day happen, and we "all go at one time or another."Lucy wide eyed states,"We do?," and Ricky with those huge wide eyes tells her, "Yes, we do unless you know something the rest of us don't, well do you?" "No. I don't." Lucy replies so very seriously. Of course the live audience gives out a laugh because despite the morbidity of the topic we all know it's true and sort of don't think about it the way Lucy was avoiding it as well.So despite the flaws in Lucy's character Lucille Ball will always be remembered as "I Love Lucy," as will Desi Arnaz as her husband and Vivian Vance and William Frawley as Ethyl and Fred, just as Sonny and Cher will be remembered as Sonny and Cher despite their personal problems, and Chastity turning herself into Chaz. That's how it will always be.

vvcampos Honestly Lucy was the BEST at what she did! I wish she was still here! I remember watching her shows when I was younger and now that i'm 19, I actually know what their joking about and its more funnier than ever! She honestly brightens up my night or day when i'm watching her shows. She makes my anxiety and depression disappear and makes me think of the importance in life. I know there was more than what she was going through throughout her seasons of her "I love Lucy" but she is the best actress ever. Now days when I was Disney channel or nick they suck! Some can't even act but if they have a pretty face than it wouldn't matter. I recently learned about what she was going through with her husband and it made me realize that besides all the bullshit she lived an amazing life and was the humble and lovable person. I don't know her personally but she seemed like a wonderful person to be around with. She's the most strongest woman! I love her! RIP Luciell Ball! Forever In Our Hearts!
