1985 Best Picture

Budget $31 Million
Gross $87 Million
The great Meryl Streep shines once again in a movie that was less that stellar. She was one of the bright spots in an otherwise dull story. The romance between her and Robert Redford was boring and the film moved very slowly. However, the cinematography was gorgeous. It was obvious that much of the film was actually filmed on location. The shots of the Africa and the wildlife was a highlight.
Callie
Favorite: I liked that it was a true story.
Least Favorite: I did not like the view of marriage that it portrayed.
Joel
Favorite: I enjoyed the scene where Karen and Deyns shot the charging lions (ironically, movies today would not include a scene where a wild animal gets killed)
Least Favorite: Bror (Karen's husband) was a weak man who did as he pleased and was not a good man at all.
