For Goldblum Diehards Only
Added 7/5/2006
Jeff Goldblum is a very funny man who has a penchant for being in very unfunny comedies ("Vibes," "Earth Girls Are Easy," "Beyond Therapy," "Transylvania 6-5000," the list goes on). Unfortunately, "Shooting Elizabeth" is yet another in this long line. It has its moments and the occasional amusing line--usually when Goldblum is alone and hamming it up--but for the most part it falls flat. Its crazy plot about how he wants to murder his wife (Mimi Rogers) is supposed to give the film a screwball feel, but it just comes off as silly. Rogers doesn't have much of a part, and there is zero comic chemistry between the two of them. On the whole, this is only for those who must see everything Goldblum makes.

Poor Mimi & Jeff
Added 7/2/2006
Just caught this on late nite fox movie channel. (Should have thrown it back.)
Two very good actors I always look forward to watching...until now. Suffice it to say the blame lies totally on the director. There's absolutely NO chemistry between the two leads. None. Goldblum is very funny in scenes where he gets to do his fluttery hands schtick but when he's with Mimi it looks like a walkthrough rehearsal. (i.e. no one wanted to get the others' germs)
Was the director even on the set?
At least they got a trip to Spain out of it.
