Shirley MacLaine has terrible luck with men. In What a Way to Go!, she tells her therapist all about it.
This is a really silly movie, but in its own way it's a classic. If you go into it with the knowledge that it's very fluffy and 60s-esque, you'll probably like it. I mean, who wouldn't want to see vignettes of Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, and Gene Kelly, falling in love with Shirley MacLaine? There's tons of eye candy up on the big screen in this one, and a very important lesson: Money can't buy happiness.
This really is a must-see for ladies (and I'm not just talking about the yummy men); Shirley's wigs and costumes are reason enough to see the film. She's absolutely darling to watch, and I lost track of how many times I swooned over her dresses.
The movie spoofs each of the men's screen personas, which is pretty cute. Paul Newman is given steamy scenes, Dick Van Dyke is given "aw shucks" scenes, and Gene Kelly dances. I'm not spoiling anything, but just as a heads up, don't get attached to any one of the men. Think of it as a string of vignettes, rather than a linear love story in which one guy gets the girl. It's better that way, though; would you be able to choose between Bob and Gene?
