Critic Reviews of "Pennies from Heaven"
TIME MagazineFebruary 02, 2009Perhaps this was not the project on which to lavish so many MGM millions. The BBC show was an enchanted cottage; this is the Las Vegas Grand Hotel.
VarietyMay 20, 2008Almost as if he were directing Pinter, Herbert Ross has actors speak a line, then wait two beats before delivering the next phrase. Technique smothers such ordinarily lively performers as Martin, Peters and Harper.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004Pennies from Heaven is dazzling and disappointing in equal measure.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004The movie, though, is not easy to respond to. It's chilly without being provocative in any intellectual way.
Chicago ReaderJanuary 01, 2000he point is made endlessly, though it's in the film's favor that it's made with seriousness, consideration, and a certain amount of imagination.
Antagony & EcstasyDecember 05, 2011A bit of filmmaking as film criticism to be respected and admired above and beyond its relationship to the legendary miniseries that it pushed out of print for more than 20 years.
TV GuideMay 20, 2008Not for everyone, but those who respond to it will find it unforgettable.
Video-Reviewmaster.comMarch 08, 2008Underrated, fascinating musical starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.
Cinema em CenaJuly 08, 2007O ótimo conceito deste musical torna-se ainda mais fascinante graças às belas coreografias, aos ricos figurinos, à impecável direção de arte e, é claro, à magnífica fotografia de Gordon Willis.
Filmcritic.comMarch 26, 2004Dark as night but perfectly lit, a little sad but with a song in its heart.
Film4May 24, 2003Potter adapted his immensely successful British TV series into a Hollywood script that maintained most of its intelligence as well as the musical numbers.
