9/10
Smart, Funny, and Twisted
16 September 2019
Michael York plays an opportunistic cad who weasels his way into the home of a penniless former rich family and proceeds to use his charms to seduce them into making him a part of the family and bring them wealth and status again.

This has to be one of the most surprising films I've seen recently. It has a smart, twisty, and frequently funny script and the performances (especially by Angela Lansbury as the lusty matriarch) are excellent. Somehow, this movie is rated R, but there's no gore, strong language, or even nudity. This must be one of those rare times when a film's tone dictates the rating and I can understand why, because Something For Everyone is one horny movie. Everybody in this movie is getting laid or wanting to. For 1970, it must have been incredibly daring, especially to see a male on male kiss.

Something For Everyone is a hidden pearl of a movie and Lansbury fans will especially love it.
