Review of Tim

Tim (1979)
3/10
Whoo hoo, look at them thighs!
25 August 2001
The appearance of the utmost 1/3 of Gibson's thighs is the most important thing about this movie. The story itself is believable enough, but it's badly written and conflicts are left unresolved- not that you'd care. The characters seemed flat, with no motivation other than moving the completely sentimental story along. Somehow typical of the seventies, it seems where the characters are coming from is secondary to the "May-December-romances-are-okay-and-cute" message. Despite her seemingly sweet nature, smoky-voiced Laurie comes across as predatory in contrast to wide-eyed, handsome Gibson. This brings us to the most glaring flaw of the film- Gibson doesn't act stupid enough.
