DVD Description

More Tales Of The City--the TV miniseries sequel to "Tales of the City"--is an adaptation of the books by Armistead Maupin. Like its precursor, it follows the lives of a diverse group of individuals from San Francisco, each of whom are searching for love. Meet Anna Madrigal, the bizarre landlady, Mona Ramsey, who is unaware that she is Anna's daughter, Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver, the gay Floridian whose parents think he is straight, and many more interesting characters...

4.0 out of 5 stars Babycakes, 22 Jan 2006
By Ms. S. Morton (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After the outstanding original adaption of 'Tales...', we get Armistead Maupin's second installment of the cleverly interwoven stories of several colourful San Francisco residents in the 70's.

The main hunk of the story focusses on a bunch of tenents living in several flats in a place called, 28 Barbary Lane. Everyone who crosses the paths of these tenents are somehow mysteriously linked to one another, leaving little threads or clues to the mysteries surrounding them. It's these threads that once woven together create this rich tapestry that is 'More Tales...'

Once again, we witness the wonderful Olympia Dukakis play the equally wonderful and intriguing landlady, Mrs Anna Madrigal.
Lauraa Linney also resumes her role as the warm and innocent, Mary Ann Singleton, continuing her search for love.
This series also sees the arrival of several of the main characters being recast. Such favourites as, Mona Ramsey had been recast from Cloe Webb to the slightly more youthful, Nina Siemaszko. At first this is somewhat disappointing and baffling, to say the least, but as the series progresses it becomes less of an issue.
The character of Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver on the other hand is a different story. Paul Hopkins replaces Marcus D'Amico in this role, and subsequently overplays it, which can at times be irritating.

This series also saw the arrival of the hilariously foul-mouthed Mother Mucca, an elderly lady who runs a brothel in the desert. She will have you in fits of laughter, especially in eppisode one, with her moral ramblings about Mona's flirtation with Angel Dust (PCP).

In conclusion-if you loved the first installment, it may be a little hard to swallow at first (with the various recastings etc), but the warmth of the characters still shines through.
It's a story of love, understanding, forgiveness, betrayal, and above all, hope. And as the story unfolds, you'll wish that you too knew people like these. You'll wish that you lived at, 28 Barbary Lane, and had a beautiful landlady such as, Mrs Madrigal who'll leave you little 'presents' taped to your front door.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maupin back in flying colours!, 23 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Armistead Maupin's More Tales Of The City - Episodes 4-6 [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)
Once again, it has not been a disppointment to see the video after reading the book. Armistead Maupin's excellent, intricate story of people intertwining and finding themselves - and others - in the big, legendary city of San Francisco has been faithfully rendered in this second video set based the second two volumes of on his six-book series. Maupin was quite involved in the work on the video series, and it shows. The video is a faithful rendering of all the elements, all the toungue-in-cheek comedy, all the comments on society, of Maupin's original text.

The video picks up where "Tales of the City" left off, and takes us through an emotional rollercoaster ride that leaves us feeling as if we left our heart back up at the top of Lombard Sreet. But of course, it is back at 28 Barbary Lane.

Mona goes in search of her roots, Michael continues his search for true love, Anna picks up the pieces after Edgar, Mary Anne learns big-city savvy (and - has she found someone?). Dee Dee takes her life more and more into her own hands, much to Beauchamp's chagrin.

Watch for another cameo appearance by the storyteller himself. The end leaves us breathlessly waiting for ... "Further Tales of the City" on video! Please, stop torturing us! Release it SOON!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect continuation of the first mini series of the Tales, 13 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Armistead Maupin's More Tales Of The City - Episodes 1-3 [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)
I am very pleased that the project of bringing Maupin's brilliant Tales of the City to the screen has finally found a continuation after years of silence! I enjoyed to meet again some well known actors and I also got accustomed to the new ones very quickly. I loved it from the first to the last minute as I did with the books. I am glad to hear that the series will go on this year!

5.0 out of 5 stars In love with love
Ignore the major story arc if you like, it's not that important. As with Tales of the City, and all Armistead Maupin's books, it's about the characters and their lives and loves,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great
Was really good to see the DVD after reading every one of Maupins books.

Of course, no TV Series could ever live upto the books, but a pleasant watch anyway.
