Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

JasparLamarCrabb While it's unlikely to make anyone forget Preston Sturges, SUNBURN is an amiable screwball comedy. Pairing the effervescent Farrah Fawcett with the angst-ridden Charles Grodin has a lot to do with that. They make a good pair. The plot involves insurance investigator Grodin looking into a suspicious death in Mexico (his company is expected to payout $5,000,000). He hires Fawcett to act as his wife and along with wily private eye Art Carney they uncover a plot involving murder, blackmail and more than a few unpleasant characters. Fawcett and Grodin are a fun couple and Carney steals his scenes. The cast is peppered with a lot of names including Eleanor Parker, Seymour Cassel, William Daniels, John Hillerman and Keenan Wynn, though they really have little to do. Joan Collins of all people is hilarious as a nymphomaniac who gives Grodin a real run for his money. SUNBURN is the epitome of fluff, directed with a surprisingly light touch by Richard C. Sarafian, who specialized in films involving a lot of brutality (VANISHING POINT, LOLLY MADONNA XXX).

Lee Eisenberg Richard Sarafian's "Sunburn" is very much lighthearted comedy. It's not a movie that'll give you belly laughs, nor is there anything serious or explicit about it. Most of the humor derives from Charles Grodin's and Farrah Fawcett's personalities bouncing off each other. Nonetheless, the movie is a neat look at Acapulco (although I'm sure that the city is a lot more developed now), and the car chase at the end is to die for. That's what it is. Nothing special, just a plain old comedy/murder mystery.Aside from the main stars and Art Carney, other cast members include Joan Collins, William Daniels (Dustin Hoffman's father in "The Graduate"), Keenan Wynn (Bat Guano in "Dr. Strangelove") and Alejandro Rey (Carlos Ramirez on "The Flying Nun", on an episode of which Fawcett played one of his love interests).

duke1907 I remember being very upset when Farrah left TV and started making movies. It was before VCRS and DVDS so once she was gone there was no way to see her every week. The movies that she made once she left didn't help with getting your Farrah fix. She still looked beautiful, but they didn't capture her personality the way her TV show was able to. This is a starring role for Farrah Fawcett (her second film after leaving Charlie's Angels) but it is Joan Collins who turns out to be the sexier of the two and who steals the film despite her small role. Charles Grodin is seriously miscast and makes the film hard to watch. Luckily the scenery is beautiful and so are the two women. This was the movie that made me realize how sexy Joan Collins really is. Watch her vamp it up in her Pre-Dynasty days.

Dorian Tenore-Bartilucci (dtb) A rich old man has a suspicious fatal car accident in Acapulco, and his widow wants his insurance company to pony up $5 million. What can they do? "Get me Jake Decker!" barks company bigwig Keenan Wynn. OK, they get hotshot investigator Decker to check it out, but he's played by Charles Grodin, whose self-consciously dry brand of comedy needs a script tailored to his style (like MIDNIGHT RUN, REAL LIFE, or 11 HARROWHOUSE, which he co-wrote, which explains a lot...but I digress... :-), which the routine insurance fraud plot of SUNBURN doesn't provide. What can the filmmakers do? Get Farrah Fawcett(-Majors, as she was then billed) at her most charming and dazzling, Art Carney in fine form, and a good supporting cast including Joan Collins (hilarious as a sex-crazy glamorpuss), Alejandro Rey, Seymour Cassel, John Hillerman, and brief bits by Eleanor Parker and the aforementioned Wynn. Put them in Acapulco's most beautiful locations, sprinkle in a few background tunes by 10 CC, and voila! You've made a blah crime caper into a lively, unassuming bit of fun for a lazy afternoon (or a snowy one, like the kind we've been having this week). Best sight gag: Farrah's insanely huge load of luggage (reminded me of trips with my mom). Cute seemingly off-the-cuff bit: Grodin mistaking the portrait of Collins' father for one of Lee Van Cleef. Farrah and Carney also get into a pretty good car chase that ends up in a bullring. If you stumble across this on cable and you have nothing better to do, this SUNBURN isn't painful at all!
