Mary and Rhoda (2000)

Mary and Rhoda from television’s The Mary Tyler Moore Show are finally reunited. Mary returns to her native New York City following the death of her Congressman husband in a rock climbing accident. Similarly, Rhoda returns to New York City from Paris where she has just recently left and divorced her husband, Jean Pierre. Both Mary and Rhoda are trying to deal with their college-aged daughters. Mary’s daughter Rose is a student at New York University and Rhoda’s Meredith is pre-med at Columbia. They now face the challenges of motherhood and reestablishing their careers in a very difficult time. Once again, Mary and Rhoda take on these challenges by trusting their intuition with that distinct sense of humor and sophistication they made famous in the original television series.

Mary and Rhoda

I liked this DVD. If you are expecting something like the good ol' Mary Tyler Moore show, you will be disappointed, perhaps. But if you feel like Mary and Rhoda are old friends and you would like to "see" what they are doing now, and how their lives might have gone on, you will enjoy this. It was sweet and pretty good, but nowhere near as funny as the old MTM shows. Probably wasn't written by the same people. Both actresses look amazing and it was kinda cool to see them again. Haven't really seen either of them in TV or movies in the past years. Recommend this for die hard fans but watching it once might be all you need. September 17, 2007

The Chemistry is Gone!

The chemistry between Mary and Rhoda that we all grew to love from the "Mary Tyler Moore Show" completely disappeared in this movie. The Rhoda and Mary I knew, were "best" friends and joked and wisecracked throughout the show. This movie was so-o-o-o-o boring! Even the beginning when they meet up again after years of separation, was so like "Do I know you?!" Rhoda and Mary were the first "Girlfriends"--they lived in each other's apartment, took classes together, borrowed each others clothes, held each others hand through a crisis or a "bad" date, and even had little spats. They have a history and it didn't show at all in this movie. Plus, they both lacked the energy that they used to have. It didn't have anything to do with their aging--their characters and the script were just plain boring! I'm surprised Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper even agreed to give this movie to their fans of 30 years! I thought they would be mature, savvy, experienced, and entertaining like "Maude" or the "Golden Girls." I didn't hear one funny line like "I don't know why I'm even bothering to put this in my mouth, I should just apply it directly to my hips." I didn't even last to the end, it was so dull. If you were/are a die-hard Mary and Rhoda fan, don't watch this movie. It will destroy every fun loving memory you ever had of the humorous "Mary/Rhoda" duo on tv! March 6, 2007

Mary and Rhoda

I have to say I was very disappointed with this film and I love Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper.
It starts off great with flashbacks of Rhoda and Mary Richards,then there is no mention of the other cast of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show",Lou,Ted,Phyllis,or Sue-Ann.
They both now have a daughter each,and then the film gets very heavy and could easily just be another movie of the week.
Its just a shame that none of the orginal writers of "The Mary Tyler Moore",Treva Silverman and Allan Burns weren't involved.
I hope a better reunion movie of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"/"Rhoda" is made. March 23, 2006

A little disappoining

This didn't really do much for me. But what I really wrote to say was, when are they going to put out the wonderful RHODA on DVD. If anything, RHODA was even better than MTM. The relationship between Rhoda and her sister Elaine (whatever happened to her) was classic television comedy. If anyone out there is listening, please bring out RHODA on DVD, pretty please, I'm sure a lot of fans of the show feel the same as me, and I cant beleive its not out already. March 16, 2005
