An unsuccessful over-the-top actress becomes a successful over-the-top authoress in this biography of Jacqueline Susann, the famed writer of "The Valley of the Dolls" and other trashy novels. Facing a failing career, Susann meets a successful promoter who becomes her husband. After several failures to place her in commercials and a TV quiz show, he hits upon the idea for her to become a writer. In the pre-1960s, her books were looked upon as trash and non-printable. But then the sexual revolution hit and an audience was born for her books. The story shows the hidden behind-the-scenes story of Susann's life, including her autistic son and her continuing bout with cancer which she hid up until her death.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The 'She' in the comedy Isn't She Great is Jacqueline Susann, and the joke is that she isn't.

rotten:
Leaves an unintentional unpleasant aftertaste.

rotten:
Isn't She Great is so bland and sentimental, it makes trash seem boring.
– Rene Rodriguez,

rotten:
The filmmakers don't know what to make of their overblown subject.
– Steve Murray,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

rotten:
The most notable aspect of this trashy (but unenjoyable) biopic of Jacquleine Susann, Valley of the Doll's best-selling author, is its running time (93 minutes); Bette Midler and Nathan Lane give two of their worst and broadest performances.
