The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981)

[prometheus 0]

Back when I was about 6, I saw this film on television. It is the first film I can ever remember watching and holds great nostalgic value for me, despite the fact that it is bright, badly scripted and tacky as hell! You gotta love it! B)

Lily Tomlin plays average housewife Pam who has a bad reaction to a variety of cosmetics and washing detergents and stuff. A sort of an early indication of the pollution caused by sprays and chemicals in the early 80s, the film is full of flares, big hair and gaudy polyester suits. The music is chirpy, Tomlin a scream and the whole film has an easy quality to it.

 

Surprisingly Joel Schumacher directed it. It was on tv again recently and it was a trip down memory lane for me. Have you ever seen it?

I actually recently saw it on TV. I’d never seen it before and I ended up watching the entire thing. I thought it was cute.
