Audience Member Phoebe Cates is enough to warn me off this pretentious, trivial nonsense. UGH Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Lisa S One of my favorite movies. Don't expect anything huge. It's just a quiet story with great performances by an all star cast, with the beautiful Phoebe Cates as a surprise standout. The story is based on fact, and keeps you wondering the whole time, where DID Caraboo come from? There's comedy, drama and a bit of romance. Lithgow is, as usual, perfection. Kevin Kline is hilarious. The costumes are gorgeous. And it's a great tale for today about how people believe what they want to believe. My curmudgeon of a husband even enjoyed it. It's a gentle story that is perfect for a quiet date night. LOVE it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Steve D There isn't a lot too it but Cates is a blast and it is entertaining. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is quite possibly the worst movie of all time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This is just a wonderful flight of imagination and fun. Kevin Kline, Phoebe Cates, John Lithgow, Wendy Hughes all at their best. Amazing Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An OK movie, easy to see how it fell through the cracks. There are funny moments, but I wouldn't call it a comedy, and it's too lighthearted to be considered a drama. Still, Phoebe Cates gives an admirable-enough performance, committing through most of the movie to the Caraboo persona, that is when she talks. More focus is paid to the supporting cast's bewilderment than to her actual experience as Caraboo. To that end, Jim Broadbent, Wendy Hughes, Kevin Kline & John Lithgow are amusing in how they're affected by Caraboo's presence. Kline, as always, is funny with that whipcrack delivery of his. He was underused though, and maybe mis-cast as the Greek butler. I did like Stephen Rea's performance as he transitions from journalist sniffing out an interesting story to a growing affection for this woman. It's an amusing movie, but not a particularly memorable standout in the crowd of lighthearted '90s movies. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
