That Cow (Andrew Bradford)
Johnny Galecki speaks these words near the start of Playing Mona Lisa. They mark an introduction to a period of Claire Goldstein's life where she sets aside much of what she has going for her, because her boyfriend has broken up with her. She creates...read the complete Playing Mona Lisa (2000) review at That Cow (Andrew Bradford)

Claire's parents are played by Marlo Thomas and Elliott Gould, the latter being a member of my redflag list of actors who make me question the quality of any movie that hires them. Her mother is the typical overbearing Jewish mother so popular in the...read the complete Playing Mona Lisa (2000) review at IMDB.com

DVD Talk (Earl Cressey)
Playing Mona Lisa is worth a rental at most if you're interested in the actors or in a chick-flick (and you've seen everything else) – the high MSRP of $32.99 for a mediocre movie and a barebones DVD is ridiculous. For everyone else, I strongly advise...read the complete Playing Mona Lisa (2000) review at DVD Talk (Earl Cressey)

I agree, this isn't the best movie ever made, but Alicia Witt carries this movie from start to finish. The whole idea of Harvey Fierstein being her mentor really works for me & she owns the role of Claire Goldstein. And with Elliott Gould & Marlo Thomas ...

I saw this movie on the Independent Film Channel on Direct TV just a few weeks ago and I must tell you that it is exellently writen and produced! It's a funny, emotionally moving film. It doesn't move too slow, had a wonderful cast and the ...

I bought this film because it had Brooke Langton in it. I'm a Brooke Langton Fan!. ...

I saw this movie a few years ago on one of my cable channels while I was lounging around my home. It has one of my favorite actresses in it, Alicia Witt, and she's actually playing the piano, which is has studied for years, in the movie. It's real quirky ...

This is one of those movies you see advertised before the movie you just rented! But it is worth watching! This movie makes you laugh and you can relate to it! A great storyline that can be enjoyed by families (of adolesants) and college kids in their ...

This is a good movie. It's not great but sometimes life is like that too. Not all neat and clean but more like something one lives through. I think it's a good story of what happens when you're in love, the other person moves on and you're not ready to ...

This is the kind of DVD that makes me quite sad. Basically, the only advantage you have over the VHS version is that it is widescreen. Other than that, it really doesn't have any features, so the price seems a bit high.The movie itself, however, is ...

Despite the presence of many "name" actors (Marlo Thomas, Elliot Gould, Harvey Fierstein, etc.) this is an embarasssing lame independent film that feels like a student project rather than a professional film. Apparently aiming to be a slice of life ...
Please....read the reviews here and thought seeing it was worth a shot. If you like lame dialogue, self-absorbed characters and unamusing dreg, this movie is for you. I much prefer the Alicia Witt of The Sopranos. Oh yes, and I could not cut out the ...
