Title: Lady Gaga, eat your heart out
Review: Based upon Depression-era original play, this incredible vehicle for the Legendary Mae West, is firmly planted in the disco seventies: even Rockmen Ringo Starr and Keith Moon seem at ease with the proceedings.A huge cast of past and present greats (with a terrific cameo by a lean and mean George Raft!) is featured in this wild story of the ultimate diva in a British Hotel, never quite finding time to consummate her marriage: the place is crawling with Diplomats (and ex-husbands). Will a cassette tape of her "memoirs" shake up the world?Along for the ride is the actor who played "Mr. Pitt" on Seinfeld.Fun soundtrack with mostly reworked conetmporary hits. Mae sings well, especially on "After You've Gone".By the way, Mae, at 85, is superb. If her illness at the time was an issue, it's not apparent in her many scenes; in fact, she dominates the film, delivering classic lines, throughout.
Is the review positive or negative?
