Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Heathcliff the movie was released at the movies in 1986 by clubhouse pictures.The film is just a clip show. Think of the bugs bunny clip movies and you'll get the idea.The film has a wrap-around story of heathcliff telling stories to his nephews. The nephews try to escape the boring stories and fail each time.The stories are from the cartoon series, heathcliff and catallac cats.The catallac cats only show up in the opening and end credits and never talk.Mel blank does the voice for heathcliff! The film is on DVD, but is missing the clubhouse pictures intro the original release had.The film aired on the Disney channel in the 80's.
Possible spoilersAh, I remember Heathcliff. I used to watch the show all the time when it was on Nickolodeon when I was still a kid. I also remember the movie. Basically, Heathcliff is forced to babysit his nephews, and spends the time recounting his adventures, thus showing episodes from the series, such as one episode where he meets a cat who looks just like him, one where he winds up working for a mob boss(the Catfather), one where his dad gets released from prison but he thinks he escaped, one where he actually tries to be good, and a few others. Although people who've seen the show before won't find anything new, people who haven't seen it before should at least check it out since it's really just a "best episodes" collection. Although I wouldn't go searching it out, it is a nice little show to watch every now and then.
