Not much going on, then its over!, 17 October 2007
3/10
Author: crab49 from Maryland (skyhook909@yahoo.com)

A small forgotten film, judging from this being only the 5th review on IMDb. It seemed so lonely here all by itself, I thought I would at least note it's passing through my DVR.

Not much happens here and then before ya know it, it's over. Albert Finney directs himself as a sleep-walker in his own life in the character of Charlie Bubbles. Bubbles is now a successful writer who finds his life distinctly boring and pretentious. It's set in Great Brittan and I guess writers there are a big deal, sort of like movie stars. At any rate being famous and rich seems not to be all it was cracked up to be. Don't expect much here. It starts out on a slow simmer and kinda stays there to the end.

All the other actors were very good here and Liza Minelli does a fine job with her first role. But director Finney has given himself very little to do. I guess that is the point.

If you have seen all the other films by this great actor I would guess you might be interested in this, otherwise Charlie Bubbles is hardly there at all.
