Customer Reviews of Wicked Stepmother / Movie
Wicked Fun thanks to Bette You must see this movie if your a Bette fanatic. I remember seeing this when I was 12 I am 21 now, and I thought the movie was stupid but I loved Bette Davis. I said to myself how old is that lady and she is a good actress. She shines in this from the beginning to the end. I just read Barbara Leamings new book on Bette Davis (came out in 04) and it says she left wicked stepmother because she didn't like the way she looked when she watched the footage, she was falling down, not remembering her lines, and her dentures kept falling out. its sad but see this movie if u love bette you won't be disappointed. its campy and fun if you liek those kind of movies.
Sad farewell to Bette Davis...
As many reviewers have said, the only reason to see this is for the last performance of Bette Davis. At 80 years old, she doesn't have what she used to (the film was made in 1989), but then, who would?
Aside from a hilarious lineup scene of very old women at a police station, and a nice bit (also at the beginning) about four shrunken people, this is truly unfunny (meant to be a supernatural comedy) and even sexy Barbara Carrera does not do much to save the day here. David Rasche underplays it completely, while Coleen Camp, as his wife, is here guilty of near-hysterical overacting. The kid who plays the husband's son (Mike) is only adequate.
The acting here is not at all good, but the script is worse. Lionel Stander is also in the film and turns in the most consistently good acting job through the film, but that's not saying much. Larry Cohen wrote and directed this, but he is nowhere near the top of his game. He's done much better films, among which are Q, The Stuff (my favorite), God Told Me To, and It's Alive.
This is a curiosity item, at best, and I would be surprised if it ever does get released on DVD. If so, it would be for the novelty of seeing Bette Davis one last time.
Not recommended.
Wicked Stepmother
I just bought it to see the wonderful actor who played the role of the Judge.
