Big Business (1988)
Excellent Movie!
This movie is a real must-see, especially if you are a fan of either Bette Midler or Lily Tomlin. Throughout the story you're either smiling, laughing or having a good old giggle, it's an original storyline (how often do we see that!), with subtle themes of strong, wholesome values - not so much so that its offensive or boring though. If you want to smile and spend a fun evening in, then this is the movie for you - watch out for the mirror scene with Bette Midler, silly but very funny. Two great actresses with style, a sense of fun and a lot of talent, pull this movie off to make it one of my all time, favourite DVD's. Enjoy!

Rather Disappointing
Having seen the first movie, I couldn't wait to see this follow-up. What followed was sadly nowhere near as good as the first...it's certainly easy to watch without too much effort but the storyline is not only obvious but feels rushed and at points, so ridiculous it spoils the feel of the movie. The similarities between certain scenes in the first movie and this one was also a bit too much, leaving this feeling like a bad copy with very little effort having gone into it. Helen Mirren was a good addition - shame we couldn't have seen more of her in the movie, she may have rescued some of the typically over dramatic, American scenes and brought a well needed sense of British dry humour into it! An easy film to watch but nothing to get excited over.
