    Love and money

    An uninspiring romantic story between a high society woman and a musician with no great prospects. The father will oppose but will not be able to do anything against the power of love. Expected result.

    Too Bland To Have Value.

    While watching this generally foolish film, one is apt to recognize that every element of the storyline has been done before, and done better, since it is not merely weakly produced by its writer/director, but its gauzy plot and cardboard characters offer no redeeming qualities in return, certainly not laughter from an alleged comedy. Action begins as wealthy poolside lounging Edward Harris (Adam West) addresses the camera (often a sign of lack of originality to come), describing to viewers his spoiled daughter Cassandra, or "Casey" (Claudia Christian) upon whom he dotes, and her lack of commitment to a career of his choosing, and shortly thereafter we are shown the young woman at the wheel of her vintage convertible, flirting and otherwise appearing quite vapid. However, we are told that this can not be an accurate judgement of Casey, her father informing us that she is so brilliant that he is trying to manipulate her into taking over his corporation's public relations office, this prompted by her occasional acts of clever maneuvering displayed at the firm's board meetings, a corner of her sire's world in which she plainly has no interest at all. Instead of focusing upon the corporate world, Casey has an obvious desire to find a lover, and in a tedious series of silly sequences she is courted by three widely disparate types -- a rock musician-cum-waiter, a professional football player, and (her father's selection) an ambitious yuppie, while her best friend Renee (Shari Shattuck) is available and highly willing to accept those whom Casey discards. To the average non-comatose viewer, it could not matter less which of the trio Casey chooses, since all of the film's characters lack appeal, and a majority of scenes are so trite as to be utterly forgettable, with Shattuck, an able actress, working herself into an overwrought state with her silly part as a temptress on the prowl. One will have no trouble in scrubbing off the memory of this trivial nougat with its artless attempts at humour that are simply vulgarity, and puerile exuberance by the players, Christian sheepishly grinning through much of it and probably marvelling as to why she took on the assignment for this poorly scripted, directed, acted and edited film.

    Straight to Cable better than it should be

    This mid-80's bit of fluff is surprisingly better than one would expect. The cast is full of "oh, look dear, it's old whats-his-face!" actors. The music is much better than one would expect, particularly the "live" bits. The locations are fascinating to those who are into such things. One set is apparently the same one used in later episodes of the "Highlander" TV series. Claudia Christian has some supremely shining moments in this thing, despite the fact that she seems way too intelligent, too mature and too real to engage in such mindless shenanigans.

    All in all, it's an afternoon's diversion that won't leave a bad taste in your mouth.

    Sad excuse for an old-fashioned rom-com

    My review was written in May 1988 after a Cannes Film Festival Market screening.

    "Mad About you" is a misguided effort to reinvent 1930s style romantic comedy, only without the wit and originality typical of the Golden Age studio films. It's destined fro undemanding audiences, perhaps in tv syndication.

    Claudia Christian plays Casey Haris, the beautiful but thoroughly unlikable L. A. rich girl who has to choose between boyfriends: a dull preppy (James Daughton), handsome jock (Wolf Larson) and an engaging waiter who wants to become a rock singer (Joseph Gian). Corny antics play like a teen comedy in need of Geritol, with plenty of well-done musical interludes (Gian does his own soundtrack singing) to pad out the running time.

    Lorenzo Doumani's direction is adequate, but his script lacks the snappy repartee necessary for this lightweight genre. Christina has the classic movie star features of a Linda Darnell but her acting comes off as smug and severely limited. Adam West is fun as her square daddy; luscious Shari Shattuck steals the spotlight as her sexy best pal. Gian is engaging as the hero, but David Gee as his roommate overdoes the hokey impressions of Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, etc. Lola Falana pops up pointlessly in a minor role as a secretary.

    Typical romantic comedy, fans of the genre may want to try

    Casey Harris (Claudia Christian) works for her corporate bigwig father (Adam West). After delighting her dad with some good business proposals, the young and beautiful Casey is promoted to vice president of the company. However, now that her professional future looks bright, she finds that her father is trying to arrange her personal life as well. Mr. Harris introduces his daughter to a rising businessman named Randolph, who is good-looking and dull. While Casey finds him nice enough, she accidentally meets two other intriguing males on her own. One is a struggling musician, the other a professional football player. Who will capture Casey's heart? And, will her father approve?

    This is a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. The performers are quite attractive but display no noteworthy acting abilities. The plot is predictable and the writing is hardly Shakespearean. Yet, fans of this genre, yearning for something new, might want to give it a try. For these romantic folks, love stories never get old.
