Wasn't quite how I'd expected it to be, I wasn't too impressed, it was a good storyline, I just didn't find the actors so talented in this movie.
It felt like they were just reading from the script instead of giving the movie feeling and happening. -
MCT:September 6, 2008Kathleen Turner is delightful! Makes one wonder, what would I have changed if I could go back to Junior College!

I rented this movie from the local library, and was kind of interested at the time, but not really. After I watched it, I usually rent it a couple of times, or wait for it on TV. What a cute, funny movie that rubs off to be the girl's version of "It's a Wonderful Life". Nic Cage's accent was pretty different, never heard that particular one, but it definitely fit the part. Jim Carrey didn't do so bad himself, but only had a short appearance. A great chick flick from the 80's!

MCT:July 24, 2008I always seem to forget about this film but when I am reminded I fall in love allovefr again.
Asks the age old question if you knew then what you know now what would you change. This film may have paved the way for the more trippy Eternal Sunshine but you still get the same answer. Since humans are gluttons for punishment we have to endure ourselves asking what could I have done...nothing. Fate had taken its course, or if fate is not your game, then you were at the right place wrong time or vice versa -
MCT:July 20, 2008Time-Warp comedy/drama with Kathleen Turner as the title character who travels back in time to her high school days. The soundtrack features famous songs from the 50s and 60s and a fine score by John Barry.

MCT:June 11, 2008Weird. Not really funny. Kind of predictable. The lead and ALL the other high school characters look old. I'm just not into this movie.
-
MCT:May 28, 2008Very sweet movie. Makes me get all goose-bumply. Nicolas Cage's character is the best. He has some of the best lines, even w/his funky voice.

One of Francis Ford Coppola?s bland post-Apocalypse Now pre-Godfather 3 projects. It could possibly best be described as a female version of Back to the Future (which came out only a year before this).
The plot follows Peggy Sue (Kathleen Turner), a woman in her 40s who has had a less than fulfilling life since she married her High School sweetheart (Nicholas Cage) at the age of eighteen. The film opens with her at her 20th/30th high school reunion (class of 1960, why they?re having a reunion in 1986 I do not know). To her great surprise she is elected reunion queen and as she goes up to accept her award she faints. Upon waking Peggy Sue finds herself having been transported into the body of her seventeen year old self back in 1960 for abstract reasons. There, she get a chance to play out her teen years again knowing what she knows now.
This is a nice little high concept premise, though there is room for work. Notable I wished they had come up with a different time frame then the late fifties, a time that?s been done to death, particularly in the similar Back to the Future. I would have liked a better set up of Peggy Sue?s life in the present so that I could better know her motivations, what she wants to change in the past.
Kathleen Turner is good in the lead role, she manages to give Peggy Sue a touch of a trailer trash aesthetic without taking it too far. It was also a pleasure to see Nicholas Cage before he started to be a parody of himself. The rest of the cast is fairly run of the mill.
This was a cute, mostly innocuous film, I had fun with it. However, it is sad to see what Francis Ford Coppola had been reduced to circa 1986. He went from a decade of masterpieces to this. This film could have been made by any moderately competent filmmaker and if I didn?t know ahead of time I never would have guessed this was done by a cinematic master like Coppola. Still, the film itself shouldn?t be penalized for having an over-qualified director at the helm. It?s good, but nothing great. -

Peggy Sue Got Married, is one of my all time favorite Kathleen Turner films.
Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage star together in this film that takes Peggy (Turner) into her past. While she is at a high school reunion she gets to re-examine her life and love choices in her senior year of high school. Kathleen looks great and the premise is good. Another "must see" film on my list. -

MCT:March 7, 2008A snooze fest. A waste of some great talent, although the film does have it's admirers. I found it a tad bit too boring.

What would you do differently if you could go back to high school and date your future spouse? Great little movie about what one woman who got her chance!

If you went back in time, and knew what you know now, would you make the same choices? A very entertaining movie about a woman, who after finding out that her husband is leaving her for a younger woman, finds herself back in time as a teenager, being wooed by her husband all over again. Kathleen Turner is lovely as always but Nick Cage is a bit annoying trying to channel James Dean (at least that's what I think he's doing).

A Back To The Future for grownups. Nice little bittersweet comedy that drags a little at times, back in the days when Kathleen Turner was a big Hollywood name. My, how times have changed.

If you need a book to read that is like this, I would suggest to read the book "Replay" by Ken Grimwood.
