 Very Good Film March 14, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have read all the reviews and they are mostly correct, so I will not go over territory covered. Nicholas Cage chose to sound like Gumby on purpose, much to the consternation of the rest of the cast I have read, but it was his uncle directing so it is what it is. All the other reviews are right--this is a very good film. What they forget to mention, however, is the incredible set design. Every small detail seems perfect--the houses, cars, knick-knacks, everything. Yes, the speakers in the basement scene are not yet invented--too bad they were as they are among the worst speakers ever made--but I believe a good bit of the charm of this film is the background. It sets the scenes and gives the actors an authentic backdrop for the story. Part of the enjoyment for those of us who lived then was the visual transcendence into the past that accompanied the script/plot. One reviewer got it right--it sometimes brings a tear to your eye.
All I can say is WONDERFUL FILM! February 14, 2006

"Peggy Sue Got Married" is about a woman, who recently learns of her successful husband's philandering ways. She goes to her high school reunion wearing a 60's outfit and when she sees her estranged husband at the reunion and she's voted "Prom Queen" at her reunion, then she faints only to awake back in the 1960's!
Everything is back as it was. This time she has a chance to change her future. Only to realize that maybe trying to change her future isn't such a good thing, after all.
It's a poignant and witty film that allows you to fantasize about "What if..." I would have done such and such, then what would have happened?
To find out exactly just what happens in this exciting and entertaining film with a wonderful soundtrack, then I highly suggest you rent or buy this 80's classic today!
You'll be glad you did because the quotes are witty, too!
Highly recommended for anyone and everyone; although, it does slightly touch on death, so it might be recommended for those children under 13.
Great time travel movie November 28, 2005

Peggy Sue Got Married is one of Francis Coppola's better projects and I came away from the film wishing I had lived through the 1960's.
The big question is "what if" we could go back in time and have a chance to make our decisions over again. Would we choose to do things the same way or differently?
Even though Peggy Sue wants to change things, she finds that she can't (or is unable to) but getting a second perspective on her relationship with her then-boyfriend changes how she views her marriage at the end of the film.
While I wasn't born until the late-1970's, I constantly heard stories when I was a kid about the close-knit feeling of families and neighborhoods back then. I can't envision being able to live in a house where you didn't have to lock your front door at night, although that's what I keep hearing from Baby Boomers (and even what's left of older people) to this day.
It's cool catching this movie on TV. It gives people my age (and younger) a glimpse into how things were "back in the day" when being into your family (parents, grandparents, etc.) was a part of everyday life.
You can do time travel November 9, 2005
There is irony here; Peggy Sue goes back, but so do you. Remember we are in 2005, and this Eigthies' movie had turned itself into a classic, a classical Coppola's movie. I love his yellows, his browns, his dim lighted ambiance. And above all: Kathleen Turner's eyes, hair and her voice, her warm sounding voice. You can also learn about family relationships and values back into the late Fifties or 1960 and some scenes are memorable: at her parent's house, and the scene with the grandparents, touching!
If you also want to see a blond (and young) Nick Cage, Sofia Coppola as a kid sister, Helen Hunt as Peggy Sue's daughter and Jim Carrey in some school cafeteria scenes this is the movie.
Reviewer: Big Zach! NOT A KIDS REVIEW! although a kid!!!!! August 23, 2005

Wow this is an amazing movie! I saw this at Best Buy in the COMEDY section! This can not be a comedy. Whoever put that there probably has never seen this movie before. I do agree it does look a lot like a comedy movie but it sure a heck isnt! I got this movie from amazon for Jim Carrey. But he was hardly in it that is my only complaint. When I put this movie in I thought that I was going to see an enjoyable Romantic Comedy. But I didnt I saw something better. This movie is a drama nthere is no question about that. But there are some funny moments here and there but I mean Forest Gump was funnier than this! Kathleen Turner was very good in this. Nicholas Cag was o.k. What is wrong with his voice?! Its all messed up it sounds like he has a stuffy nose the whole movie! This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen! HIghly reccomended! I am going to watch it tommorow!
