Rating: - Love the movie, And I Want it on DVD
I absolutely love this movie, and MGM needs to get off their can and release this on DVD. My VCR broke, I'm not buying another one and MGM so kindly made this movie copy-protected, so now I can't even get it transferred to DVD on my own. I guess MGM has until the time it comes on AMC or Turner and then hello DVD recorder and goodbye VHS (it's not like the DVD release is gonna have extras anyway)
Rating: - no title
Wonderful ensemble cast headed by Albert Finney - beautiful setting in Charleston, South Carolina, with long, sweeping shots of an antebellum mansion. But I disagree with the film's premise - "We took love to its conclusion"; ergo it's OK for Mother to leave family behind and start a new life. How selfish. I am not giving anything away here as that is how the movie opens, not ends. And after all these years, there was such a memorable scene in the kitchen with Finney, that I still remember it with clarity. He needs comfort food, and for him that is a mayonnaise and potato chip sandwich on ... Read More
Rating: - Star Turn For Albert Finney
RICH IN LOVE boasts a great ensemble cast, but it's probably not a disservice to the other actors in this 1993 heartwarmer to say that the film BELONGS to Albert Finney. To say nothing of the fact that his is absolutely the best Southern accent of any of the non-(US)Southern born actors in the film. What is it about the Brits ready mastery of Dixiespeak anyway? OK, OK, aside from Albert Finney in this movie, I can actually only think of Vivien Leigh's flawless turn as Miz Scarlett in 1939.
So maybe it has more to do with being a huge talent than with one's nationality. Still such ... Read More

This movie will appeal to all people who have "a couple" of years of marriage behind them. It is a story of a family falling apart as "love has come to its conclusion". After 27 years of marriage time has changed: All the members of the family still love each other but in different ways. Mother and father live apart but still respect each other. The two daughters slowly find their own way - one through pregnancy, the other through the painful teen years.
Do not expect a stringent story line. This are rather various shots of family life - but well taken. Here, the talks between the father ... Read More

In the words of Blaine & Twan from In Living Color, I too sing-song, "HATED IT!!"
It was a completely disjointed movie that I couldn't figure out. It stands out in my mind as the WORST movie I've ever seen. I left the movie thinking, "What was the purpose?"
When my friends and I speak comparatively about a bad movie, we always ask, "Was it as bad as 'Rich in Love'" or, in jokingly trying to find something good to say about a particularly bad movie, we say, "Well, there's always 'Rich in Love' so it's not the absolute WORST movie in the world."
