  Review by Willow Maclay ★★★½

  This is Saoirse Ronan's first acting role of consequence and at one point she tells her mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) that she wants to be called "Drew" from now on. Her mom asks, "what's wrong with Izzie?"

  "Nothing. I just want to be called Drew now."

  The ultimate foreshadowing for Lady Bird.

  Review by maneleeo ★★½

  You know when a film belongs to the 90's, but for some reason it was done much later than that? This film screams 90's all over the place. Amy Heckerling made "Clueless" in 1995, and the style of that film is scattered throughout "I Could Never Be Your Woman". I remembered sequences that were just like the ones in "Clueless", but like a step backward, not forward. And it had a bit much of "Woody Allen" but it did not favour the film at all. I should have given this film a worse rating...

  But,

  There were things that seemed just right, you know? Somethings were hilarious, other times it had good writing. It's like, everything good was cancelled but…

  I don't need to be a real man, I'm an actor

  Because Paul Rudd movies are movie comfort food, the quality is questionable but it's Paul freaking Rudd. He does a dance and he gets to kiss Michelle Pfeiffer! The age difference schtick gets old very quick, pun intended, but it's perfectly watchable.

  Oh Lord, the casting in this... It's by far the most entertaining aspect, let me give you a run down real quick, I haven't covered everyone but:
  Tiny Saoirse Ronan is playing Ape Escape!! The memories!
  Yasmin Paige, she grew up so quickly to go be in Submarine...
  Tracey Ullman is Mother Nature and thoroughly enjoying herself
  David Mitchell, he looks deeply uncomfortable
  Sarah Alexander, pull up your trousers girl!
  Graham Norton, sporting frosted tips and being everyone's gay best friend
  Henry Winkler, he's the sweetest

  Review by Karelle ★★★ 4

  Bon, comme Maria l'a dit, l'humour est quelque peu daté à plein de moments ("Mère Nature" et son horloge biologique, et le mépris pour les femmes qui font des chirurgies plastiques, c'est non), mais t'sais, la relation mère-fille est vraiment belle, Saoirse Ronan toute jeune qui reprend des hits musicaux, c'était vraiment drôle, et Michelle Pfeiffer, c'est juste au-delà des mots tellement je l'aime.

  (Aussi, c'est drôle car ma mère m'a appelée pendant le visionnement, et elle m'a dit en niaisant à moitié qu'elle ferait un rituel de sorcellerie pour une situation dans ma vie quand on raccrocherait, alors de voir Michelle Pfeiffer et Saoirse Ronan en faire un après, c'était cocasse.)

  Review by MikeBoffardi ★★★

  Paul Rudd's incredibly goofy performance is what anchors this film and keeps it so consistently funny. His natural charisma and wonderful comic timing are all intact, along with a hilarious physical performance. The greatest example of this is when he is dancing in a club, and his movements get so weird, that people in the club can't help but watch him. It's a great scene and just another reason I love the guy. Michelle Pfeiffer is quite lovely in the lead role, while Saoirse Ronan proves just how fantastic she'd be later in her career in one hell of child performance. Fred Willard, Jon Lovitz, and Tracey Ullman are all great comedic support, each getting countless moments to flex their comedic chops. This is the kind of romantic comedy that, while cliche, gets by solely on the amazing cast it was able to assemble, as well as solid direction from Amy Heckerling.

  Review by Andy Ferguson ★★★

  This is an ideal movie to pop in late at night and right after you've sat through an excruciating, tedious piece of garbage like Jack & Diane. I didn't want anything serious or even anything necessarily outstanding. I was just in one of those moods where I needed a sweet, fun little romantic comedy...and Amy Heckerling's I Could Never Be Your Woman is unabashedly, exactly that.

  There are a variety of approaches this film takes that threaten to bring it down into tacky territory, but it's also the kind of film that can be saved by breezy & fun lead performances. Michelle Pfeiffer, Saoirse Ronan, and extra-zany version of Paul Rudd are having such a good time throughout this entire movie that I couldn't help but fall in love with it.

  Is it the stuff of greatness?

  Of course not.

  Does it need to be?

  Hell no.

  Did it makes me smile 943 times in 97 minutes?

  Yes.

  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

  Review by Ariella ★★★ 1

  If Saoirse wins an Oscar for Lady Bird, she’s winning for this too because she’s playing baby Lady Bird in this — she literally had an argument with her mom about changing her name in the car in this too.

  So this was supposed to be this deep reflection on ageism and appearance in Hollywood, but it is wayyy too heavy handed and doesn’t successfully make the point and gets overshadowed also. I guess 10 years ago this theme in a movie would be a bigger deal, but it still could have been done better, but I like that they tried. Also it’s super weird that in making this point it is more negative towards women than men.

  “Bowling is so 818”

  I too would like an imaginary Tracy Ullman to give me advice.

  The lyrics to Saoirse’s song parodies are brilliant.

  Paul Rudd dancing and baby Saoirse Ronan make this movie worth watching

  Review by Maria ★★★ 6

  A lot of the humour is dated, but Michelle Pfeiffer does witchcraft at one point and that's more than enough for me! It's also Saoirse's first role!
