Despite the success of My Best Friend's Wedding, Aussie director P.J. Hogan certainly hasn't gone Hollywood. Unconditional Love, co-written with his wife and fellow filmmaker Jocelyn Moorhouse, is a deeply eccentric concoction that ranges from campy comedy to murder mystery. If the whole thing doesn't really come off, it does have much that is funny, giddy, or simply weirder than all-get-out. Kathy Bates enjoys herself as a discarded wife who impulsively flies to England to attend the funeral of her idol, a beloved singer--Jonathan Pryce, in glorious sequined form. Meeting his "valet" (read: secret gay lover), Rupert Everett, she determines to find the dead man's murderer. It's hard to get the tone right on this kind of movie, but it's also easy to like a film that finds time for tributes to Barry Manilow (hey, Hogan rehabilitated ABBA in Muriel's Wedding) and the reassuring spirit of Julie Andrews. --Robert Horton

LOVE this movie!

This is one of those movies you return to when you'd like a little break from all the nonsense going on. It's sweet, unpretentious and there are some delightful surprise appearances throughout. I first saw it many, many years ago and it's one of the few movies that I will watch again. There's nothing in it to offend anyone and I've recommended it to all of my friends.

Secret guilty pleasure

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't know why I love this movie so much; but I do.
Kathy Bates is such a phenomenal actor; she embodies whatever she plays and you forget you're watching an actress and believing you're witnessing a real person living their life instead of a performance. Of course, the supporting cast is absolutely stellar as well.
The plotline plays out a little slow in some parts, but it is so fun to lose yourself in this adventure, it doesn't matter. After streaming the film at least once a year, I just went ahead and bought it so I could have access to it whenever I get a fix.
It is one of those movies I like to revisit, because I love the characters and their dynamics with one another. I find myself missing them if too much time as passed.

Kathy Bates has never played a more lovable "frump". Brilliant!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Laugh out loud funny, what a hidden gen this movie is. Kathy Bates plays a middle aged woman whose son has flown the nest and her boring husband basically ignores her. Her days are filled with romantic thoughts and fantasies about an Elvis-like figure who she adores and worships. Imagine her shock and grief when he is suddenly killed! Deciding to step out of the box and embark on the adventure of a lifetime, she hops on a plane and has the plan to attend his funeral service. Once she arrives in the little English town, she visits his home and sees a gathering of young me. As the silliness continues, it unfolds that her beloved was a closeted gay man with a younger lover who has, over the years, grown very bitter with the older "frumps" that his lover has been crooning to. Through a series of events, these two unlikely characters form a bond and return to the states to hunt down his killer. A super fun comedy that was truly entertaining.

Cute little movie about courage, and many other attributes

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

A really nice little movie...not an award winner, but nice. I actually bought it because I heard Barry Manilow was in it, and everyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan. That said, The movie begins with Max Beasley (Dan Aykroyd) telling his wife Grace (Kathy Bates) that he is leaving her (after 25 years) because he just does not want to be married anymore. Meanwhile, Grace is always daydreaming over her music idol, singer Victor Fox (Jonathan Pryce). Of course she is devastated over Max's decision to leave, and she is also devastated to hear of Victor's untimely death when he comes to her home town, Chicago. Victor is to be buried in England. Grace decides to stop feeling sorry for herself about Max, and do something to get on with her life. Soooooo, off she goes to England to attend Victor's funeral, where she finds herself in quite an adventure and finds a very unusual friendship.

Grace begins to explore what unconditional love means as she realizes she can make her own way in iife. It's a movie about the courage to move forward, and about being one's authentic self, about caring and about helping friends, about grieving, and about having a few laughs too. It's also about change, believing in oneself, and taking chances. It is a very enjoyable film. Several guest stars appear in this film, including Julie Andrews, Sally Jessy Raphael, Lynn Redgrave, and.........BARRY MANILOW! Has a cute "feel-good" ending, too.

Buried Treasure

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2005

Verified Purchase

Only the timidity of the studios could explain how this movie landed on the shelves without even a mention - It's up to word of mouth to save it. And it's certainly worth saving. Nobody does the "awakening matron" like Kathy Bates (see "Fried Green Tomatoes"), and her Grace Beasley is a delight as she finds her backbone and her voice. She needs it. Her daughter-in-law (Meredith Eaton) is an acid-tongued dwarf with no inhibitions, and Dan Ackroyd is the wettest blanket this side of the Johnstown flood. After being dumped by her husband, patronized by her son, and deprived of her grandson, Grace has no choice but to look after herself. Grace goes to England to attend the funeral of her idol - Jonathan Pryce in fine voice and having the time of his life - and meets his gay lover, Rupert Everett. After swallowing her shock, the unlikely pair returns to Chicago to track down Pryce's murderer. The performances are all fine, the pace is feathery, the music easy on the ear...It's all whimsical and preposterous, and the kind of movie that will have you laughing out loud when you're sitting home alone...The ultimate test of a comedy. "Unconditional Love" passes the test. Enjoy it and spread the word.

Unconditional Love at its finest

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2005

Verified Purchase

For those of us, and I am sure that I am not alone in this, this is a film that will help us believe that our dreams and aspirations are attainable as long as we don't give up on ourselves. Cathy Bates brilliant portrayal of the housewife with the husband who doesn't want to be married anymore, and the seemingly unrealistic desire to sing in public (even if it does appear to be with her dead hero) made be laugh and cry at the same time. Rupert Everett is, as ever, totally gorgeous and apparently unattainable to us mortal women. He picks up his role from 'My Best Friends Wedding' with ease and plays the boyfriend that no-one must know about with sensitivity combined with a humour that is as poignant as it is funny. The addition of Maudie (the dwarf) with her in-your-face IM DIFFERENT SO WHAT attitude is the aenithesis the other two need.
I loved this film from beginning to end, and it will help me to keep in my heart my dream of singing with Barry Manilow one day.
If Grace can do it, so can I.

Unconditionally loved this movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

This movie I discovered more than 10 years ago and revisit regularly. It never fails to delight and entertain. Directed by Australian writer/director PJ Hogan (Muriel's Wedding, My Best Friend's Wedding, Peter Pan) this movie is idiosyncratic and very funny - and not everyone gets it. I've given numerous copies of the DVD to friends over the years and coerced others into viewing it - and without exception, my friends have loved it. And the stellar cast headed by Kathy Bates, Rupert Everett and Jonathan Pryce - and very ably supported by Lynn Redgrave, Richard Briers, Meredith Eaton (in a scene stealing performance), Dan Akroyd, Peter Sarsgaard, Stephanie Beacham and Julie Andrews - look as though they enjoyed making this movie as much as I have enjoyed viewing it. If you are a fan of the British version of Death at a Funeral you should enjoy this one too. Give it a go!

Wacky Comedy with a Great Cast

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Knowing that inspite of its impressive cast the film only had a very limited theatrical release, my expectations weren't terribly high. And so I found myself pleasantly surprised by this wacky little comedy. The script is rather weak, especially the whole crossbow killer storyline, but the actors make up for it with their enthusiastic performances.

The story revolves around Grace, middle aged American housewife and fan of the crooner Victor Fox. When Fox is murdered, she travels to his funeral in England, meets his gay lover Dirk, and the two set out together to hunt down his killer.

Kathy Bates is wonderful as the frumpy middle aged American "home maker" Grace whose whole life revolves around pop idol Victor Fox, played by a glitter-suited Jonathan Pryce, who is only surpassed in the department of pop star parody by the utterly un-besuited Bill Nighy in Love Actually. Priceless. Or should that be pryceless? Meredith Eaton is absolutely gorgeous as Maudey and plays the 'dwarf with an attitude' with panache, standing beside and up to eight foot tall Rupert Everett. Hilarious! Everett, rather unkempt for once, and not the snooty member of the English upper class he plays so often, has a few good moments early on in the film, but seems a little embarrassed towards the end. I can't blame him, his character (and he as an actor) deserves better. Dan Aykroyd turns in a solid performance as Grace's long suffering husband, Lynn Redgrave had me in stitches as the uptight English sister of the Pryce character, and Julie Andrews gleefully parodies herself in a couple of cameos, breaking into song at every opportunity.

Watch this for a bit of a laugh, smile at the end, and don't start looking for fault with it (because you will find it if you do). Not the greatest film ever made, but quite enjoyable. It was cheap and cheerful, and provided light entertainment and a bit of escapism for an evening.
