3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but hardly life changing, 24 Oct 2004

By	M. A. Silverman "markasilverman" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Suzie Gold [DVD] [2004] (DVD)

OK, so the press have torn into this film because My Big Fat Greek wedding got the ethnic stereotyping in first and Bridget Jones was a more likeable heroine. But this movie isn't as bad as the Fleet Street sourpusses would have you know and if you can ignore the dodgy characterisation, Suzie Gold presents a fairly sincere - and occasionally touching - view of the whole assimilation issue in 21st Century Britain.

Summer Phoenix holds it together despite being neither English or Jewish. She has an on screen charm and her accent holds up pretty well, even if she is let down by the fairly ordinary plotline and script. Most of the others in the cast are competent but have little to work. Iddo Goldberg, as Anthony Silver, grows into his role superbly and stands out as an engaging little creep.

The direction is generally good and the film moves at a steady pace although some of the scenes involving Suzie and her grandmother miss a trick, with some rather limp dialogue.

An entertaining if hardly life changing experience, Suzie Gold is a decent film and compares favourably with most of the British romcoms released each year. Perhaps the critics could have been a little more charitable.

5.0 out of 5 stars i laughed, i cried, 2 Aug 2004

By	giddyaunt (Battersea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suzie Gold [DVD] [2004] (DVD)

I watched this movie and had a great time - it's that simple. It's easy to miss films like Suzie Gold because critics pick them apart, but this movie a definite must-see. Suzie Gold is about a Jewish family but the themes are universal. There are some great lines in there too. It's the perfect date movie and Summer Phoenix does a flawless North London accent. It's really well directed too.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Quite Thin Jewish Wedding, 29 Jul 2004

By	"pro-online" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suzie Gold [DVD] [2004] (DVD)

Now if they dumped the name "Suzie Gold" and had opted for My Quite Slim Jewish Wedding and we were 6 months before "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was even conceived...you'd be interested wouldn't you? Let's face it, we all watched My Big Fat because it sounded intriguing. "Suzie Gold" doesn't really do it as a title and it would be oh so easy to simply ignore this release and move on. Well don't. Don't even think about it! If you enjoyed My Big Fat Greek Wedding (or like me you hoped to enjoy it based on what it purported to offer) then this film is for you. My Big Fat claimed to be the funniest film of the year, do you remember laughing much? However, Suzie Gold is everything that My Big Fat was, but with the more abundant material that a Jewish theme offers and a whole lot more laughs. Take a chance on this one and you'll not be disappointed.

I am partial to the odd romcom (yes, I really should know better, but I like stuff that's easy to watch most of the time) and Suzie Gold is no exception. Read more
