Rating:  - Worthy of the DVD treatment
Excellent film, thoughtful yet entertaining. Not without flaws, surely, and in light of recent events the setting may obscure the story. And it's a good story, one I sorely wish was available in a widescreen DVD edition.
The story is, in fact, about flaws. Flaws at both ends of the spectrum. Youth explores its newly opened world, trying all of its offerings with abandon, testing its boundries, but at what cost? Age conserves its resources, adheres to the safer paths, braised in its own ... Read More
Rating: - Apropos
What better movie for a priest to review than 'Mass Appeal'? Directed by Glenn Jackson, and co-starring veteran actors Jack Lemmon and Charles Durning with relative newcomer Zeljko Ivanek, this story has influenced me in interesting ways.

This is one of the finest films I've ever seen. As a seminarian myself, I am convinced this film should be required viewing for all seminarians, priests, and all formators in the pre-seminary and seminary systems.

Rating: - ger27s
I think that this film should be must viewing for every seminary faculty and student who aspire to become priests. It would give each of them a valuable look at who they really are, and what they could become, if allowing themselves half a chance. Also shows the politics of the priesthood.
Rating: - Worth Watching
This is one of my favorite movies. Very smart - very entertaining. Lemmon delivers a gripping performance. Spectacular acting by the supporting cast makes this film a first-rate film. As one of Lemmon's finest performances, it is definitely worth watching.
