Being a fan of The Supreme's I heard some of Diana Ross's music on their greatest hits compilations so I'm familiar with Mahogany's theme: "Do you know where you're going to". So I figured I'd watch the movie, especially considering how good Ross was in Lady sings the Blues, that must have jus been a one time thing. Mahogany is NOT GOOD AT ALL. Anthony Perkins' (bit of a hottie in this) and Ross's chemistry is jus weird, frankly the chemistry of EVERYONE was bad: Ross & Williams, Williams & Perkins, EVERYONE. *spoilers ahead* As a fan of 70s fashion, I LOVED THE costumes in this: the rainbow dress during her 1st fashion shoot, the white ensemble with the green & orange hair accessories and necklace, and the beige outfit with the big hat she wore in front of the Italian modeling agency were some of my stand out FAVES.
Some of my least favorite parts include: 1)Diana's limited skill set 2)all Ross's parts with Williams, they had soo much chemistry in LSTB but it was Beyond wooden in this. Their banter in the unemployment office, the scene where she tricks him with milk (she thought it was uproarious, it really wasn't), the date scene, their entire relationship: we're supposed to believe they're in love, they hardly knew anything about each other 3) scene btwn Williams & Perkins battling with the gun. One of the funniest things I've ever seen, sad bc it shouldn't have been so. I actually loved this scene but it still Truly Sucked 4) movie as a whole was just very flat and wasn't strong enough to warrant consumer $$. However I must say I laughed sooo hard during Perkins' beginning fashion shoot when he told the brunette model "It looks too horny" for some reason that Cracked me up... And the car crash scene has to be seen to b believed HaHa
