I couldn't agree more with the other reviewer of Stormy Weathers. This TV movie was excellent, and had such potential to be a great series, if not a series of 2 hour movies at least. I'm not sure what happened, bad ratings or whatever... although I have to tell you that both times this was on in my area, we had horrible storms (no pun) and the cable was knocked out, both times for a short while...odd! That would definitely affect the ratings. Oh well, I hope this film will make it to DVD, w/ commentary please! Cybill Shepherd not only looks fantastic (the hair is perfect!) she seems very at ease and relaxed in the role and is a joy to watch. You really don't want it to end, which is why a series would have been awesome. If you've never watched this fun, breezy, female detective flick...do so whenever you have the chance!
I completely agree with Shaun....this show rocked! I forgot about it until I accidentally got here through another actor's name, go figure! This series was so stylish and sexy, each and every episode got better and better. I remember being so upset that it didn't survive more than one season, because the actors, especially Lisa Hartman, Jennifer Beals and Drew Barrymore, all played off of each other wonderfully. I knew nothing of the cost involved in producing the show but man, for us fans, it was definitely worth it. Aaron Spelling, if you still own this show, please release the entire series on DVD for the old fans, and for future fans to enjoy! Peace!
If you enjoyed the original you'll definitely enjoy this one also. I saw it with friends opening day...apparently we were the only ones who saw it opening weekend according to what it made money-wise, nonetheless...all of us enjoyed it a lot. Sharon Stone has this character down pat and it's obviously her best role. I think that had it been marketed better...I believe I saw maybe one very short commercial for it before the opening date, it would have made more money. Also it opened against a kids film, Ice Age 2, which is never good for an R rated film. I highly recommend you see it at the theater, but if you must wait, definitely buy the DVD when it comes out, as it will surely have an unrated version, which will be hotter than what I saw I'm sure. Sharon Stone looks wonderful (better than 14 years ago if that's possible) and the whole cast, and local (London) is superb!
