Pat Padua Spectrum Culture There’s a moment in the misbegotten, long-delayed comic book adaptation Brenda Starr where you can, for a few precious seconds, see all the promise of its mischievous cartoon glee—and it’s almost a throwaway shot. Jul 3, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g Crappy plot, wooden acting not even as good as the comics. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Audience Member I loved the movie when it came out. It was clever concept and well acted. Love the scenery. I thought it would do better but I don't remember any publicity surrounding its release. Give it a chance. It's entertaining. Brooke Shields always delivers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review steve d I thought it was an interesting way to approach the strip. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Brooke Shields is stunning and hilarious. I wish they had foregone the framing device and just focused on her. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review ashley h Brenda Starr is a disappointing film. It is about a journalist who goes into the depths of a South American jungle as she researches a story. Brook Shields and Timothy Dalton give horrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Robert Ellis Miller did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What the hell was that? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
