Movie Reviews of Hanover Street
Movie Review: A Clich? Dipped in Cheese
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie appeared to be a horrible romance novel made into a bad film. The pillow-talk between lovers seemed to be from the imagination of a fourteen year-old girl. The banter amongst the flight crew sounded like someone desperately trying to be funny.
IF YOU ARE A GUY - Don't bother. The action and brief nudity isn't it worth it.
IF YOU'RE A WOMAN - The only tears you'll shed will be from laughing at what the author thinks is believable romance.
Summary of Hanover Street
The fateful entanglements of two men in love with the same woman. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/22/2008 Starring: Harrison Ford Patsy Kensit Run time: 109 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Peter HyamsHarrison Ford is impossibly young and handsome as an American pilot in the World War II romance Hanover Street; Lesley-Anne Down (The Great Train Robbery) is stunningly beautiful as the British nurse who falls in love with him, despite being married to British intelligence agent Christopher Plummer. In fact, everything about Hanover Street is just a little over the top, from the insanely romantic dialogue to the absurd war-buddy banter of Ford and his bomber crew to the love-making montage in which Down seems to have at least a dozen orgasms. Down and Plummer have a daughter (played by future Lethal Weapon 2 love interest Patsy Kensit) who's so precious and precocious you just want to smack her. The whole thing is almost a camp pastiche of a war romance--but when Ford and Plummer find themselves together behind enemy lines, you'll suddenly discover that you're caught up in the story. Through sheer movie-star charisma and cunningly ridiculous plot mechanics, Hanover Street becomes not only entertaining, but even touching. Plummer is particularly good as an ordinary man who wishes to become something more, Ford is stalwart as only he can be, and Down is just too lovely to resist (it's hard to understand how her career ended up with the likes of Beastmaster 3: The Eye of Braxus and Death Wish 5: The Face of Death). All in all, a surprisingly enjoyable cinematic experience. --Bret Fetzer
