Amazon.co.uk Review

Take Hollywood romantic comedy at its fluffiest, stir in a few Farrelly Brothers-style bodily-function jokes, season with pratfalls, add a soupcon of Hitchcock and you've got Head Over Heels, the perfect way to while away 85 minutes without putting the least strain on your brain cells. Our heroine, Amanda, is a shy retiring young lady with a dusty museum job and a non-existent love-life. (She's played by the dishy blonde Monica Potter, which gives you a fair idea of this movie's grip on reality). Having moved into a palatial Manhattan apartment (yeah, right) shared with four wannabe supermodels she meets--via a randy Great Dane--the handsome guy from across the courtyard. But it seems he has a deep, dark secret in his life.

Mark Waters' film gets a lot of mileage out of poking fun at the bubble-headed attitudes of the model girls, which might well provoke mutterings about pots and kettles in more censorious quarters. But the whole confection's so innocuous and eager to please that it's hard to stay as irritated with it as it deserves. Potter (or occasionally her body double) executes her pratfalls gamely, her flatmates pose elegantly, and Mr Maybe-Right Freddie Prinze Jr grins boyishly--even if his subsequent metamorphosis into an action hero takes a bit of swallowing. Waters' direction keeps things moving briskly enough to prevent us musing on the idiocy of the whole enterprise. The insert inside the box suggests that "if you enjoyed this title" you should try Taxi Driver or Being John Malkovich. Could someone at Columbia TriStar be having a little joke?

On the DVD: not much to mention. There's a trailer, brief cast and director biogs, production notes and a 12-minute shooting-of featurette in which, as usual, everybody was just wonderful and they all adored each other from the get-go. Anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound ensure a suitably glossy presentation. --Philip Kemp

3.0 out of 5 stars You might be surprised..., 17 Oct 2002
By A Customer
OK ...I'm most definitely not a teen and, frankly, I'm not a huge Freddi P. fan, so you wouldn't really expect Head Over Heels to be a personal winner for me. No one was more surprised than me, therefore, to find that I really enjoyed this film. The unlucky-in-love heroine does, of course, suddenly stumble across Mr.Right (courtesy of a large demented dog and the sudden need to switch apartments. ) but, as you would expect, things do not go to plan. Maybe Mr. Right is significantly less than perfect? Infact, it soon appears that Mr Right is, in fact, most definitely Mr Wrong. So far the script offers no surprises...until our heroine tries to establish what exactly it is that Mr. Right is hiding. What lightens the load along the way is her dappy set of room mates (all models) and the perfect mix of crass slap-stick and one liners that come their way. Not earth-shattering, not Oscar worthy, but there have been many worse films from this genre and Head over Heels did pass the ultimate test for me personally....it made me laugh out loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, feel good film, 15 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Head Over Heels [VHS] [2001] (VHS Tape)
This is definitely a perfect film for a Girl's Night In. Freddie Prinze Jnr plays the handsome man of Monica Potter's dreams, which is proven by her weak knees whenever they meet. This is not a taxing or complicated film that you have to concentrate on, it is sheer fun and works to best effect if you don't think about it too hard - some of the story is maybe just a bit unrealistic! But if you're feeling loved-up or even if you haven't yet found Mr Right, then this is the film for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 5 Mar 2003
By Miss E Connor (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Head Over Heels [VHS] [2001] (VHS Tape)
This film proved to be the greatest chick-flick I've ever seen. To call it a comedy is a huge understatement - it had me laughing for weeks afterwards! The characters are fantastic, putting their all into the film. The story line keeps you on your toes, and the content is hilarious. its a must-see movie - and Freddie-P.J really works in this! Its a brilliant film and all you girls out there really should watch it. You'll never look at life in the same way ever again!

3.0 out of 5 stars an unexciting comedy / romance/ murder mystery
There are one or two good jokes in this film but there isn't much on offer apart from the chance to look at some beautiful models and Freddie Prinze Junior. Read more
