Full House (1987)
Stinky!
Never fond of "Full House," extending it seemed a bit much. You have a widower with 3 daughters, D.J., a whiner with a face like a cushion; Stephanie, who became more appealing over time once "how rude" was dropped; and Michelle, the youngest who overdid the California slang.
Rounding out the group was the girls' Uncle Jesse, a quasi-Elvis character who had an on-again, off-again band, and Joey, a big baby prone to whining. Since the show has to remain in keeping with its title, add to it D.J.'s quirky pal Kimmy; Jesse's wife Rebecca and of course they have adorable twins. Light stories with neatly wrapped endings and enough hugs to wrap around town and you've summed up "Full House." Not for me.
Untamed Love (1994)
Awful
This movie butchers the real book on which it is based. The Maggie character in no way reflected the teaching methods or philosophies of her real life counterpart; John Getz ("Dan") plays a complainer who is just as far removed from his real counterpart as Maggie. The script and acting were stiff and unconvincing. This movie shows the downside of literary license.
The real book on which this inadvertently mocks will not be identified by title here to a) protect the innocent, including the real people whose lives on which it is about and b) not to associate it; those whom it is about or its author in any way, shape and form to this trite tragedy of the week.
