Question about Tiger Warsaw
Hi! So I was wondering if anyone had seen Tiger Warsaw and had an opinion about it? I've read the amazon reviews but only one mentions Mary and it only says she wasn't in the film enough :( Thinking about purchasing it but you guys are so knowledgeable and very helpful I thought someone might have an opinion! Also does anyone know where you can

Tiger Warsaw is just terrible. It was an obvious "money job" type of movie. Mary was pregnant with her daughter throughout the entire thing and they made little to no effort to try to conceal her belly when the character herself isn't pregnant. The movie has no real plot, no one is actually likable. They had 3 Irish people attempt to play a Polish family (Piper Laurie being the actual Pole within the 4 main family members), since I am Polish-American it was very obvious that they weren't. It was nice to hear Mary say little bits of Polish though. Half the time you're just like..."Why did they do that and why is she so mean" and they never really explain it. You would think with a decent cast like that (though Mary wasn't a "big name" in the 80s) it may be half decent, but it wasn't. However, it may just be worth the watch just to laugh...maybe a drinking game can be made of it. Every time someone is out of frame, take a drink. You'll be drunk in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
I loved The American Clock. I'm a big Arthur Miller fan, so this just made me grin from ear to ear. Her role isn't huge, but essential and her last monologue at the end of the movie is absolutely fantastic and an amazing bit of acting on her part. Not only did she have to do this Bronx well-to-do accent, she changed it as things happened. It was made for the stage and there was little changing with it, but I still enjoyed it. It may have even made me enjoy it more.
