Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Maddyclassicfilms Pretty good film about the Kennedy family and the tragedies they suffered. It may not be all that accurate but it's well made and acted.I felt the most sympathy for the gentle Joan Bennett Kennedy(Leslie Stefanson) who was Ted's wife. Joan was thrust into the spotlight and sadly but not surprisingly, just couldn't take the pressure and the tragedy anymore.I felt most sorry for Joan and Teddy as they were the youngest couple and at the beginning very in love, but as time progressed and the tragedies became more frequent Ted had to enter politics and become the head of the family.Jill Hennesy is very good as Jackie, she looked a lot like her and was both moving and strong as the First Lady who loved her husband but didn't have the easiest marriage.Lauren Holly is superb as Bobby's wife Ethel, she is the one I felt most sorry for, a tough, bouncy and fun woman she became a broken woman by the end. The murder of Bobby and the fact that their last child Rory, was born a few months after Bobby's murder really affected her deeply. The scenes where Ethel cries are moving because she is not someone who usually feels sorry for herself.

MarieGabrielle what a bad casting director can produce. Daniel Hugh Kelley as JFK ranks up there in the worst 5 imitations of JFK, attempting a Boston accent, attempting charm, attempting charisma, and achieving none of the above.In fairness, this is TV, and Jill Hennessey more than balances out his poor performance as Jackie Kennedy; she looks and acts very much the part; if you are a fan of hers you may still be able to enjoy her in this film.Lauren Holly plays Ethel Kennedy as a brash, crude, ugly American. I can honestly say I don't know if she really was like this, but it almost seems like defamation of character. Calling President Johnson a "crude redneck" after learning her husband will not accompany him as Vice President in the White House- please- The script seems almost subversive.Harve Presnell is believable as elder Joseph Kennedy, and there are some interesting scenes between him and Ms. Hennessey, the only redeeming performances in this TV movie. Leslie Stefanson is also touching as Joan Kennedy, and Matt Letscher looks the part of Ted Kennedy as a young man.The worst casting (besides JFK), was of Marilyn Monroe. Sarah Lafleur is a bloated blow-up doll, and portrayed as a brainless alcoholic. She looks nothing like her, and cannot act. Also the character portraying Ari Onassis is a pale example of what the Greek shipping-magnate must have been like.This is a four hour TV movie, and if you like Hennessey, tune in toward the middle. The rest is not worth watching.

babygirl2638 I now own this video along with JFK and A woman named Jackie. I find these stories very interesting and this one was just as exceptional. I do agree with another viewer that the actress portraying Marilyn Monroe could have done a better job (the one in A Woman Named Jackie was great) the rest of the performances were Fantastic!

KreeBee "Jackie, Ethel, Joan" was one of the greatest mini-series I have ever seen. I especially loved the actresses picked to play the parts of Jackie, Ethel and Joan. Lauren Holly showed what a truly versatile actress she is, as did Jill Hennessy. They were amazing! I've never seen Lauren Holly in a role like this she was so funny and the real voice of the family. Jill Hennessy was great as Jackie she resembeled her so much and her acting was phenomenal, she really got everyone into the character and the pain Jackie went though. This was the first time i saw Leslie Stefanson in a movie and she was great! I never knew much about Joan Kennedy and she just showed a lot of feeling, she showed that Joan cared too much and that probably led to her and Ted divorcing. The men in this movie were great too, especially Bobby, he was so strong and it showed me a lot insite to a time when i was not born and i really enjoyed it. This movie was so amazing that hopefully they will sell it on video, because i would watch it over and over.
