Movie Reviews of Alex & Emma (Full Screen Edition)

Movie Review: Two Stories, Twice the Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars

Let's start with the stories of "Alex and Emma." The first story is about Alex Sheldon who is a broke author with a large problem. He owes $100,000 to a couple of Cubans in the mafia because of a gambling debt. The way to get the money is to deliever the copy of his next book to his publisher Wirschafter. His other problem is that he has a strong sickness of writer's block. After the Cubans set his laptop computer on fire, Alex hired Emma, a stenographer, to type up the book as he recites it to her. She decides to help, even after finding out that if he does not have the book finished in thirty days, the Cubans will kill him. As Alex writes the book, Emma has to throw in her comments along the way, and something happens to them that they would least expect... they fall in love. I'm not ruining anything by telling you that, it's common knowledge.

Alex's book is pretty similiar to real life, a factor that writer's like to include in their books. It is about a man named Adam who has come to tutor the children of Polina, a lovely French women who Adam falls madly in love with. The only problem there is that she is poor, and is waiting for her old grandmother to die and leave her the money. Otherwise she will have to marry her suitor John Shaw. Adam tries to find ways to get together with Polina and also becomes attracted to the worker for Polina who changes from Ylva to Elsa to Eldora and finally to Anna. Those four characters are all played by Kate Hudson. The story within a story is clever, and I liked how you could tell what is similar to real life and what isn't, untill you find out EXACTLY what is similar to real life and what isn't. I liked this movie because it had alot of dialouge, and alot of witty lines that are thrown out there. It was a good movie that I recommend to all. I hope you will get the chance to read this review, because then mabye this movie will get a little more buzz on video.

ENJOY!

Rated PG-13 for sexual content and some language.
