Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The movie's poster carried the tagline, "It's Pure Gould" underneath a drawing of naked Elliott Gould trapped in a Coca-Cola bottle, his hands crossed over his genitals, with the title "move" and the subheading "has a lot to give" in lower case letters at the right hand top of the poster, near the neck of the bottle. more

Pleasant fare--bad rap, 29 August 2005
7/10
Author: shino from United States

I read someone once say that "films like _Move_ destroyed Gould's career in 1 and a half years." Maybe, maybe not, but _Move_ is really not a bad film at all: a bit counter-culture, but not obnoxiously so.

Gould is an intellectual New Yorker whose fortunes have led him to walk dogs in central park, and to author pornographic literature to make a living--a self-described "scatological existence." Prentiss (in a straight role) is his long-suffering wife, who watches as he suffers a mental breakdown. This film is of interest to Prentiss fans as it was her first big role in 5 years of eschewing Hollywood. Genevive Waite is the ditzy model Gould meets in the park.

Perhaps the film's greatest drawback (to us men, at least), is Gould's penchant for dropping his trousers to reveal an inordinately hirsute physique.

When all is said, its a film with its own charms, and the ending sweetly closes the story.
