Trailer For Bernadette Peters' New Film

[Jordan Catalano]

Yeah, This Totally Isn't A Modern Day GYPSY. It's New. Totally New.

[Wynbish]

Does someone sing a song called Small Sheep?

[Jordan Catalano]

I think it's called "Stunted Growth Alpaca"

[Wynbish]

And don't forget Tiny Terrestrial Planet

And the smash duet, If We had a Stepdad

[Jordan Catalano]

There's a song a guy sings called "All I Need Is To Like Girls"

It's brilliant.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Um...I kinda wanna see it.

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

I'm with you, SonofRobbieJ!

[qolbinau]

Total vanity project for Bernadette. Cannot wait to see it.

[TheatreDiva90016]

How old is her daughter in this? 35?

[Midnight Radio]

Funny, it's a movie starring Bernadette
and the title's a familiar line.
Funny, it's from a musical starring Bernadette
Small world, isn't it

[goldenboy]

Then there is that moment when she is trying to understand her daughter and
she sings
Let me Ascertain you.

[Jordan Catalano]

I hear Lifetime is doing an all mute version of this next year.

[Wynbish]

Can't we just stick with Bernadette-Peters-is-an-awful-mother in Smash?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Diva, I don't think the daughter is supposed to be 35 in; I think Bernadette is supposed to be 35 in it.

I live in the hinterlands, so I can't be assured this will play here, but I'd see it.

[E.Davis]

I am glad that they are using both her wigs from FOLLIES.

[FindingNamo]

A movie directed by a woman, written by two women, starring Bernadette P and Peter Freidman, two of my favorite actors? I'll be there. I guess I have different taste than you fans of Step Up 3D or whatever.

[Jordan Catalano]

Was Step Up 3D the one about the girl whose Mom wanted her to be a break dancer because she never got the chance to be one so she spends all her time entering her daughter in street competitions?

[FindingNamo]

I do not know, but as I mentioned, I didn't even see it in 1D. It was reminiscent of previously existing movies involving dancing and a lot of people thought it was amazing.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Phyllis,

That was my point.

When are they going to stop trying to pass of Bernadette as much younger than she actually is?

[FindingNamo]

We don't know she birthed that daughter. Remember that lady from Mommie Dearest?

[Jordan Catalano]

I hope this mother wakes her "teenage" daughter up at 3am in a rage and makes her sing scales while she's in tears.

[Kad]

I hope there's a number where three prostitutes sing "You Need to Have a Schtick".

[egghumor]

They CAN'T be serious! This thing looks about as plausible (and laughable) as Diana Ross' DOUBLE PLATINUM!

[random person 112]

I love how we're all bashing a movie we haven't even seen. From the synopsis i've read it didn't seem to have to much in common with Gypsy. The only common thing was it was about a mother and daughter relationship. The mother supposedly using singing as a coping mechanism. I thought Bernadette looked very young in the trailer, so i don't see the complaints.

[qolbinau]

It's called "COMING UP ROSES" and it suggests in the trailer that the mother is 'measuring up' her daughter to be a stripper. Sounds a lot like GYPSY to me.

But I can't wait.

[random person 112]

I have seen reviews online from people who have seen the movie and i can tell you right the now the whole measuring the daughter up to be a stripper is not true. I would say Coming Up Roses is used to rather evoke the mothers obsession with musical theater and her reluctance to admit that everything in her world has turned to ****, and she can no longer escape that.
