Anna Nicole Audience Reviews

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
juneebuggy Well I didn't hate this, it was pretty interesting actually, especially the early years of Anna before she became tabloid fodder. Anna Nicole Smith was one of those celebrities who was always all over the news and gossip mags, so that even if you didn't want to know, you knew exactly what she was up to. On that note this made watching "the story of her life" way more interesting because I remember the headlines.Agnes Brucker does a decent job here portraying Smith who goes from small-town Texas teen to Playboy pinup to Guess model, including her marriage to an elderly oil tycoon, Hollywood excesses and tragic death at age 39.Surprisingly this does not go into the media sh!t storm that followed after her death when everyone was laying claim to being the baby daddy.Martin Landau is excellent as her older billionaire husband "Paw Paw" and the makeup people also did a great job with her ever changing weight, hairstyles and wardrobe. 08.13
sekaninas This movie was way too short. It should have been a mini series to get a little depth. The movie itself clocks in at 1 hour and 25 minutes, which should give you a clue about the shortcuts and too fast storyline in the movie. You'd get a more in depth and fascinating glimpse into Anna Nicole's life by spending the equal amount of time looking up clips on youtube. The actors though did a good job with the weak script. Martin Landau as Howard Marshall is fantastic, and Virginia Madsen as Anna's mother is also very good. Agnes Bruckner does an acceptable job as Anna. Much better than Willa Ford did in the Anna Nicole Smith Story from 2007. The biggest problem i had with both movies were that it shows little consideration about her drug and alcohol problems, and basically just lets us think she did do drugs, pills and alcohol because they were available to her. That is usually not true for an addict. The movie also ends just a couple of minutes after her son dies in her hospital room. Anna lived 6 months after that, and to truly pay respect to the tragedy I think it should have shown more of her life during the last six months that she lived. There were also a lot of characters missing, like her assistant Kimmy and Hugh Hefner. Virginia Madsen said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight there were things they had to leave out to avoid lawsuits. If you want the story of Anna Nicole's life, this is the PG version. The truth was a lot more dramatic and troubling. But if you liked the woman, you probably will enjoy this movie a little bit at least. I think Lifetime should stop making these short biopics and maybe try a miniseries biopic instead. Also there is so much footage and so much information available, that they should even have thought about making a documentary instead. Anyways, it was watchable, but she deserved a lot more time and a lot more layered portrayel of her life. She is one of the most intriguing people that came out of showbiz in the 90's and will be remembered.
Jason Carr I personally loved the movie! I did notice a similarity to 'Norma Jean & Marilyn' with the talking to the older and younger self so I understood it. Agnes did a superb job!!! I have become a fan! And the haunting rendition of FAME by Amy Gerhartz was to die for. Too bad it wasn't used in the actual movie. The ending was so sad. I can't help but feel sorry for Anna. So many people used her in her life, even her own family. The only person she could truly rely on was Daniel and she was devastated to of lost him. It would of been nice if they did this as a Mini-Series instead of a 2 hour movie. All the actors were truly extraordinary and I definitely thought this movie was WAY better than LIZ & DICK, which was a flop.
cinemaniac2002 TV biopics rarely have the sort of depth that a feature has. I was looking forward to this one because I've always admired and enjoyed Director Mary Harron's work. But not even a really good cast and director could make this film any deeper than its subject matter. In all fairness, there wasn't that much to say without speculating -- which wasn't really the purpose of the film.Fresh on the heels of the amazing HBO documentary called "Love, Marilyn," I was anxious to see how Anna Nicole's story would unfold, given that Marilyn Monroe was such an obvious inspiration for Anna Nicole. Certainly, if anyone in this century embodied sex appeal in some of the same ways as Marilyn, it would be Anna. However, unlike Marilyn - there was really never any attempt apparent that she took acting very seriously as Marilyn did. I'd be interested to know how much Lifetime producers may have interfered with the production of Anna Nicole because that would be a sure indicator of a less than stellar production to follow.I wasn't expecting all that much, given the subject matter - but I was at least expecting a more enlightening rendering of it. It's not bad enough not to see -- but it was nothing that merits seeing again, for sure.
