I thought Suddenly Naked was a clever and intelligent piece of film-making. My only real negative was the lead's character development near the end. Things happened too suddenly. I understand and appreciate "moments of realization" but this felt too easy.Other than this one negative I did appreciate how much was accomplished on a moderate budget. It's a shame how few people are exposed to such works. This film, unlike most, allows the audience to actually think. You consider social barriers and self image. I found myself wondering on the weight I give to opinion of others.Locations were excellent as was casting. It is difficult to compare this to other films such as Harold and Maude as it is not such a romp. I do think, however, that those who appreciated Harold and Maude may enjoy this film.I will watch Suddenly Naked a second time. That is the best evidence of how I feel about this film.

I have been waiting to see this movie again since I first caught it in July 2003. It is now Jan 2004 and I was delighted to see it again!!! It's a very quirky movie, not a blockbuster, but I thought it was great. Interesting dialogue, the characters could use some more development, but overall the plot is sweet. And it doesn't hurt that the movie involves a good band, Gob! I just wonder if there is a soundtrack out there somewhere. Anybody know?

I saw this movie at the Maui Film Festival, not expecting much. To my surprise, it was caustically hilarious, so biting and witty that I found myself laughing out loud over and over and marveling at the talent on display. People who don't like it may not get that kind of humor. It's Woody Allen with a sharper edge, with a more modern, hip sensibility. I see lots of movies, and rarely have I liked a comedy as much as this one. The acting is good, the writing crisp and the pace is fast. I'd recommend it highly.

I REALLY wanted to like this movie. Really. I was invited to attend the Vancouver premier, and in that love-in supportive environment, with the director and producer present and applauded, I was SO ready for it to be good, but it wasn't - it was terrible. The plot was all over the map, the dialogue was unbelievably thin and rushed, and the character development was non-existent. The heart of the story essentially hinged on the chemistry between Wendy Crewson and Joe Cobden (and to a lesser extent between Crewson and Peter Coyote) which never came close to materializing. For most of the movie, they appeared to be reading their lines to each other in various clever locations and camera shots. Basically, I never cared about these characters because of a thin plot and poor writing, and I never bought what was supposed to be an overwhelming love between the two main characters. Some of the writing was very funny and clever (Geritol, Sanka...) and a good portion of the (locally shot) cinematography was brilliant, but in a love story, you have to buy into the love to enjoy the story- it just wasn't there.
